Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

With so many experts out there who are doing what I do for a profession and so many experts who have decades more experience than I do, I carefully select the mentors from which I learn from and the same is true for the professionals that Karel and I welcome into our life to help us with our own needs.

PERFECTIONISM Are you never satisfied with your effort or performance?  Are constant negative thoughts filling your head as you are so self-critical with e...
