Testimonials
Please see an example of a testimonial
“Soma was able to help support me through a difficult time at work. I felt overloaded at work alone and very isolated. During Soma’s session I had a chance to really share what I was going through and felt as a WOC she really understood the challenges I was facing. Soma gave me practical advice about my career and although I still have a lot to think about career wise I feel she really gave me confidence to think clearly about what I want next. If you are looking for an empathic ear who will give you advice, listen and discuss your career goals and ambitions, I would definitely recommend hiring Soma to help you do this. ”
