"Every interaction I have with Rinat leads me to experience some kind of personal discovery on a spiritual, emotional, or intellectual level. She is a natural mentor and counselor who encourages me to explore my inner feelings without any pressure. She actively listens, hearing what I have to say and then challenging me to direct my emotions in a personally and socially constructive direction. Rinat is gifted in her ability to push me to strive for personal equanimity and peace without forcing any answers on me. Instead, she inspires me to connect with my inner self while reminding me that I am in charge of my own behaviors, choices, and desires in life.”
