Using NLP techniques and Time Line Therapy she can help with unblocking negative feelings, limiting beliefs, and fulfilling your creative potential.

Today’s work environment encourages specialization but Osborne believes our potential is in our whole selves. Her unique Life Portfolio can help you uncover the magnificent multiplicity that is YOU and how to find strengths and accomplishments you forgot you had!
