Retired Police Lieutenant, NLPOA National President
Creator of officer wellness & leadership programs
Certified Mastery Coach: somatic, emotional, unconscious healing
I’ve walked through the dark. You don’t have to do it alone.
I could not recommend talking with Ci more! As a first responder, it is rare for someone to truly understand our perspective, but Ci brings that added dimension. She saw the parts of me I kept hidden, helped me unlock them, and pushed me to do the work. It has completely changed my perspective on life and positively affected my whole family.
