Rhiannon joins us from South Africa to talk about her journey and approach to integrative law practice. She shares how we can embody the belief that we can be ourselves and still belong in the legal system, connect with all of our intelligences, and embrace the wholeness of our humanity. Rhiannon has used integrative law to help find the gaps in legal practice that our clients need to feel connected. Music for this podcast was created by Toby Leach.

From Milkwood Law website:
Rhiannon has two decades of legal experience. She is an attorney, notary, conveyancer and administrator of deceased estates in practice at Michelle Dommisse & Associates in Cape Town. She is also a values consultant and accredited Conscious Contracts® provider and trainer.
She has developed and facilitated workshops on a wide range of topics. A natural connector and networker, Rhiannon thrives on building relationships.
