What Clients Say
"My retreat with Zangmo was a most enjoyable experience, as her support and encouragement have given me the desire to pursue my love of colour and expression again. It has been a few weeks now since my time with her, and something I notice is that when I wake in the mornings, I have feelings of hope and excitement from these new beginnings and a release with my own creativeness. I feel I've been given a new gift of life."
- G.R, Kent: First Creativity Coaching Retreat
"I am impressed by how you ensured that our time together was a magical combination of art, self-expression and meditation, with a warmth and compassion that made it easy to relax into it all. I achieved what I had come for, and was able to go deeper than I expected, so my expectations were all exceeded. The way you regularly checked in with me as to what I wanted and whether it was working was really helpful.
I take home with me both a better understanding and a reinforcement of what I need to do to feed and nurture my health and creativity. You gently challenged me to design a path towards it, laid out in simple steps. By the time I left I felt more grounded, and at the same time I was buzzing with creative ideas."
