As an English retired professional active person, who had moved to France to experience a change of life style; I did not expect it to be difficult to integrate into rural life, and not speaking French I was feeling isolated. With help from Florence, being bi-lingual, helping to learn French and building my confidence through Art therapy. Florence went above and beyond to provide a very rewarding experience, was very attentive without being intrusive. Helping me to understand past experiences which were stopping me moving forward in living in my new chosen country. Experiencing Art Therapy with Florence helped me build confidence in myself, which I had lost, and was beyond my expectations
