Valhalla Visions Counselling Clinic
In Norse traditions, when warriors have been killed in battle they are brought to Valhalla to regain their strength. While this is not their final resting place, it is where they heal and prepare for the next step in their journey. Throughout the day, warriors train and prepare for their next encounters. In the evening their wounds are healed and their health is fully restored.
Valhalla Visions Counselling Clinic, VVCC, recognizes that individuals can endure being at war with themselves.
Visit their site here or you can email at valhallavisionscounselling@gmail.com, or call at 506-642-5392.
