I think the first inktake session went very well, a bit of backstory on my end, a few questions on her end, and some outlining of future goals and topics to cover going forward, very easy to talk to, I’m looking forward to talking more, sharing and learning more , and hopefully gaining valuable insights that I can apply to my life, thank you Miss Ridgeway
