Hi, I’m Liane Smola.

If you are reading this page, I have a message for you. Please give yourself credit for researching ways to help either yourself or someone you love. Whether this journey is for you or someone else, it can at times feel scary and helpless. Life didn’t prepare us for the level of hardship and loss we have to face and therefore, we do the best we can with the tools we’ve been given along the way.

After suffering a great deal of hardship and loss throughout the years and not finding the level of support I needed from a clinical standpoint, I embarked on a journey to help myself. I’ve spent many years submerged in content that allowed me to pull myself out of a very deep depression. This learning, coupled with a number of amazing certification programs has allowed me to launch GuidanceByLi with a very unique skillset to help others. I feel forever blessed and grateful to be in a space to help those in need every single day. Please know that whatever you are experiencing right now, does not mean you need be “stuck” there forever. Let me teach you how to process your difficult/challenging feelings and then teach you small tools you can begin to implement into your daily living to help you live a more joyful, fulfilled, life. I am here to answer any questions you may have. Please do not hesitate to contact me as I am here to help you or your loved one to the best of my ability. Sending you so much peace & love as you continue on your journey. ~Li
