I am very proud to have featured in Abbey Robb Therapies’ recent newsletter. Abbey has a wealth of knowledge in integrative therapies, ranging from mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and psycho-spiritual shamanism. She works in a holistic manner to get to the route cause of an issue, gain understanding and teach her clients techniques to release what is troubling them. My article, entitled “Making the Most of the Space You Have to Create a Multi-Functioning Home” provides practical steps to organise and structure one’s home, in order to create zones for work, relaxation and entertainment.
