“To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart and sing it to them when they have forgotten.”
— Anne Garbing, author
Chani Getter's first book, Mapito: Embrace Yourself opens the door to finding the song that lives in your heart.
A collection of stories, from Chani's own life and those of some of their therapy clients, Mapito blends personal narrative with evidence-based therapy practices and age-old wisdom to provide a clear pathway to personal transformation.
Mapito is an invitation to breathe, to notice, to experience, to celebrate, to grieve, to sing, and to be.
Mapito will aid you in singing the song that lives inside of you even when you have forgotten how to sing.
