"Teratai" is the Indonesian word for lotus. Indonesia holds a very special place in my heart; I am part Indonesian, and I spent many formative years of my life living there with my family.
There is a saying that from the murky mud of life grows the purely beautiful lotus flower, trusting in its own unfolding. For me, that is a beautiful metaphor for our lives. There is muck, and there is beauty and peace. Therapy can help us make meaning from our experiences, it offers opportunities for healing, and provides a supportive, caring space to unfold into who you are becoming.
