What is it : Life Stages

Transitioning from one place to another is often about navigating life and the choices we make. Sometimes if feels as though these choices are overwhelming. Other times, we haven’t yet experienced situations and so need some guidance on how to approach what we have in front of us.

Transitions can occur at any stage of our lives. Most recently throughout the pandemic people of all backgrounds and ages have been questioning what they are doing or what they may want to do next.
