I never thought that I would be able to travel that far with my emotions. Even though this was the last session before ending the therapy, it had moved me to an area that I never thought that I can be. The reason why I chose “ Continue reading...

Customers will recommend that business to others Continue reading...

Before the Civil War slaves were used to do the back breaking work to grow cotton that kept the Antebellum South making profits. One of the worst parts of the slave trade was the auction block. Slaves who were sick were not sent to the doctor or helped. Instead they were sold off. The Continue reading...
