Mr René Lonis
Relationship Therapist
“I believe that by enhancing the contact we have with ourselves, especially with parts that need healing, we are creating more fulfillment and happiness. This will have a significant effect on the people around us. Therefore principles as Knowing yourself and Contact, are important themes I focus on in therapy. An increase of those is a guarantee for improving our mental health, the quality of our relationships and the communities we live in.”
