Who Am I?
As women we can get caught up with putting everyone else first, losing our identity, wants and sense of humour! In this pilot workshop with Nadine you’ll be asked a number of questions. You don’t have to share your answers but by the end you may have reminded yourself of who you are and what you enjoy and want from life. This is a safe and friendly women-only space.
