“If you are considering working with Graciela Aires Rust, I highly recommend you do so!  She brings to her practice a vast array of tools from which to meet the needs of the whole person (mind, body and spirit).  Her comprehensive approach includes healing modalities that have stood the test of time as well as those having more recently been proven scientifically effective.  Her broad-based view of each client ensures that all aspects of that person's life will be addressed such that he/she might reach his/her highest potential.
 

Graciela is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those guided to work with her and brings much wisdom to her work.  She cares deeply about the well-being of those in her community and does her part to make available to them those services will be of the utmost benefit.  She is especially gifted relative to dealing with multi-cultural issues and addressing the needs of Spanish speakers having been born in Argentina and being a native Spanish speaker herself.

Graciela carries much truth and is quite intuitive both of which are innate blessings that cannot be learned but are God-given.  She is giving, loving, kindhearted, and authentic...all of which are advantageous as a counselor and healer.  I have no doubt she will meet you wherever you are on your personal journey and inspire you to move forward with creating your best life possible.”
