The Silver Lining Healer, Charlotte

I am a Healer, an author, a believer in finding your truth even when you don’t believe you know how or where to begin. I have had many experiences and they have all allowed for me to go within in such a deeper way. I want to help people know that they have the power, strength, support, love all around them and that all they truly need is to find that wisdom that might have been buried under mists of dust over the years. To trust that they are not alone, to believe that everything they go through, or have gone through matters, right or “wrong”. It is done so you can learn to help others to heal.

Getting back to the basics, Stacey Aarssen

I have spent the last 15 years learning everything there is to know about the insurance industry. I am currently applying this knowledge, helping people understand the insurance plan that is most suited to their needs. Whether it be to cover them if they become sick, have something tragic happen while travelling, become disabled, get cancer, or die suddenly. They know they are protected if any tragic event happens in their life.  Connect with Stacey @ https://www.ironshield.ca/
