what clients say:
“I came to Niav a little over a year ago crippled by old wounds. I lived my life heavily weighed down by my own negative thoughts and feelings.
Through my coaching sessions with Niav, old wounds became healed, old beliefs and patterns that no longer served me went away. As we continued our work, my life turned a corner in a way that I never imagined. I now view myself, my relationships, and my life differently. I now feel that anything is possible, that I can do anything, and above all, that I deserve all of the great things that life has to offer.
I am forever grateful to Niav. I look forward to continuing this path with her, and I am excited for where it will lead me.” - Christine M, Boston, MA
