Mel (Única Trainer)

"Before the Única training, I didn't know the more complex differences between sex and gender. I used to believe in many myths and was afraid of so many things that are taught in our culture. Única has taught me the real value of being a young woman. The value of loving myself and taking care of myself, as well as caring for the other trainers and friends. After learning all these things, I was given the necessary tools to continue sharing this information. I am so thankful for the knowledge I have gained. It has changed my life and shaped me into the young woman I am today.”
