One-to-One

I am available for confidential ‘one to one’, (once off or ongoing) supportive conversations about questions and issues arising from the challenges of family life and the benefits of simplifying and slowing down. Perhaps I can help you clarify a situation or take a new step. 

Please email me dorothy@dorothymarlen.net to arrange a free exploratory 20 minute session on skype or by phone.
