I have had the opportunity of seeing Rita in both a personnel and group setting. I appreciated her high degree of awareness and sensitivity. She meets each individual where they are at , with out judgement. Her warm demeanour and ability to laugh at herself relaxes all those around her. Allowing me to Look at my own beliefs, patterns and judgements, and to process these my own way and pace. I would recommend Rita for anyone seeking counselling or wanting to explore the diversity of family constellations as Rita has the ability to reach people from the Heart. Wendy
We, my wife Alice, me, and our 4 teenage kids, booked several sessions with Rita and benefitted very much. Her character is loving, caring, intelligent, and competent. Her abilities to help us see and dissolve unconscious family patterns are incredible and we did experience her as a very extraordinary therapist. Therapy with Rita is awesome since it is always really good to open up to a knowledgeable loving therapist who can support you to solve your problems much better. From what I know about Rita is that she did a magical job in our Family Constellations. I highly recommend her work.

Rita holds a space that is actually a living field. The field holds the knowledge of what needs to be spoken, of what needs to be let go of and what needs to be stepped into. She so naturally knows how to read this field and kindly, intimately deliver it’s messages to you, bringing grace and deep healing.
