“Our chemistry was evident from the beginning and we both chose each other to be mentor/mentee. My path was unclear, and had a lot of uncertainties. Hanim helped me get in contact with myself and discover my real needs. I gained clarity and confidence thanks to Hanim, and I’ll always be thankful to her. Hanim’s mentorship can be focussed on the actions that guide you to the goal, and at the same time she helps you embrace your soul and true essence, making her mentorship something to truly cherish and treasure.”
