Designer.
Here at Waist, our designs are abstract and eccentric. Some are futuristic while others are cultural and modern. Together they offer a variety of bead designs that ensure there is something for everyone.
This is where your journey to mental and emotional healing begins. Here you will be introduced to new understandings that reveal how trauma and insecurities interfere with our happiness. Particularly how these things shape our perceptions to view things in ways that make us feel bad. Peace is the goal. Through guided journaling, you will ask yourself the questions that unearth any perception that stands in the way. This guided journal is how.
