‘Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other” – Paulo Coelho I absolutely believe this to be true, such a beautiful insight. 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 […]
Now that the major festive celebrations are over it’s time to get back into the rhythm of the IAHP home therapy. It’s like a double-edged sword these days, social outings are awesome but they can sometimes come at a cost. Chiara’s therapy being the main one, and the simple fact it is difficult leaving the house with […]
To all the amazing people who have touched our hearts and at times moved us to tears, with their incredible acts of kindness, love and generosity. Honestly, Mauro and I have been blown away by the amount of incredible support for Chiara. YOU know who you are and thank you! They say it takes a village to […]
Back at the hospital today and apart from the car ride – all went smoothly! New mould for the AFO (ankle.foot.orthosis), then downstairs to see Prue & Dr. Johnson for the new cast. Glad we got to see Michael before he dashed into theatre for an op, he’s amazing! Chiara will have the cast on […]
The IAHP Program is going well, yay! We are at our max of 40 masks a day (oxygen enrichment program) and have seen direct results already. Her overall tone has softened, this is especially noticeable given Chiara has Quadriparetic (4 limb affected) Cerebral Palsy. Often her little body is overcome with extreme hyertonia, causing severe stiffness and rigidity. Now her […]
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, […]
There is a little effervescent person whom I owe so much gratitude to, the most adoring little soul who has been by our side every step of the way, since Chiara’s whirlwind-style entrance to the world. GRACE, beautiful Grace I cannot begin to thank you for your worldly wisdom and bright spark that has brought […]
Yep – at the end of the day this one word pretty much sums it up. Not in the way of giving up, or throwing in the towel – but more so as an act of Grace, of fully accepting what life has installed for you and your loved ones. In Yoga – the practice […]
Here are some happy snaps from the last two sessions with the amazing Andrea Williams at Myofirst, Balwyn.
