Sending so much love to all the beautiful souls in my life – love that we have all been drawn together to share the journey. Here’s some […]
We have been busy in the world of Chiara. The IAHP program is ticking along, we are gathering all the information for the Interim Report which is exciting. We have also reignited other brain development therapies over the past few weeks, such as NAET sessions, which are wonderfully explained in Kristen Morrisons book ‘Naturally Better […]
What a week! I attended the basic program training – ‘Yoga for the Special Child’ in Melbourne with Sonia Sumar (Sivakami) a few weeks ago. Sonia’s story is incredible, you can read more about her journey on her website. I am forever grateful to my beautiful soulsista Lena, for introducing me to Yoga over ten years […]

A week or so ago another little PMG baby passed too early, the FB forums were inundated […]
Our main focus on the IAHP program for the first month has been Physiology and Nutrition, we then move into the Physical and Intellectual aspects next month. Chiara’s nutrition has absolutely stepped up a notch, she has the most incredibly heathy diet! It’s so reassuring knowing that she is meeting all her daily nutritional needs, […]
