I tried to find something that hadn’t changed, something that since Chiara’s diagnosis, still felt relatively the same. Yet I didn’t get far, truth is everything looks different now. That’s probably because everything is different. I can’t look at a pregnant woman, or a new family, or a tiny weeny baby without seeing something so […]
it all began with a 20 week scan I knew this early on, that things weren’t going to plan. our new little baby had a right club-foot and operations, splints & casting would be all it took, to fix her cute foot deformity and try and bring back some normality. the royal childen’s hospital soon […]
‘BIG MAGIC – creative living beyond fear’ was released today – a book by the author of Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I had been looking forward to this day, I was planning to have her book in my hands and ready to become inspired by the words within. However nothing feels magical about […]
Yep – this picture sum’s up the past two years! Funambulism! the art of walking along a thin wire or rope. Not surprising that it’s commonly associated with the circus, which could be an analogy for our parenting gig this time around 😉 Balance: an even distribution of weight enabling someone or something to remain upright and […]
Prior to meeting Maur, I had already made the decision to leave the corporate world and embark on a whole new direction into health and wellbeing.

8 years ago I had just returned from travelling solo through Greece, Turkey, India and the U.K for a year. Instead of returning to my job as Account Manager for Buena Vista Home Entertainment (Disney), I embarked on a whole new direction into Natural Medicine. I worked part-time at Disney and studied full-time at Southern […]
What does sky-diving, Hindu Mythology and Yoga have to do with Chiara and her diagnosis? everything it seems 😉 I was driving along Punt Road on the weekend when I noticed 7 skydivers floating down from the sky underneath their parachutes. I wondered where they would land safely amongst tall city buildings and crazy Punt […]
A spot of Yoga on a Friday afternoon ?? #smilingyoginii #yogaforthespecialchild #increasingprana #shakti “I am peace, I am joy, I am love, I am light. I have a beautiful light inside my heart that was given to me when I was born. And because of this light, I am not afraid of anything or anyone. Om Shanti Om Shanti […]
“I choose to show up for my highest possible potential” How do we show up every single day, especially at times when we feel completely exhausted? As I write this, I am k.o’d with the flu. Naturally my body has decided to take a stance and I have taken all the right steps to help […]
