Holistic Kids was born out of my own childhood. At birth doctors diagnosed me with having cerebral palsy as my right leg was shorter than the left and the right foot was pointed at an angle, my parents were told that I wouldn't make it to my second birthday. After operations on both my back and leg, my right foot was corrected and thankfully the diagnosis of cerebral palsy was revoked.

However I have been plagued with problems in my legs, hips and back ever since then. At the age of 5 my grandparents began teaching me yoga in the hope of strengthening my legs and improving my balance. (For many years I continued to visit doctors and physiotherapists-white walls, smelly corridors and white-coated men are negatively entrenched in my mind.) The yoga has indeed strengthened my legs and improved my balance. It is widely acknowledged that yoga is a great form of exercise that helps to balance posture - I am living testimony of the long-term effects of this. With this in mind, I aim to help others with physical disabilities in the best way that I can- through yoga, massage AND through play, creating positive healing memories for children.

In starting Holistic Kids I wanted to create an environment that is fun, warm and caring and I want to give back to the community that I so closely came to be in at a young age. Therefore I have created not only a Play Therapy practice for physically and intellectually disabled children encorporating yoga and massage but also a children's self-development program aimed at children of all ages and stages. I want children and their parents to view this therapy exactly as it is - a form of play that can help their children heal.

When my daughter was born I knew that my life would never be the same again,not just because I was a mother but because I knew I had to follow my dream of helping others. It was pure luck that I came across Pranic Healing. I was searching for courses in alternative healing when I came across a site on Pranic Healing. Intrigued I made a few enquiries and after lots of mulling on what I should do I decided to just go for it and do the course! I am so glad that I did! Pranic Healing has opened so many new doors for me and it is truly inspirational when you can help someone overcome a health or mental ailment!

This new quest has made me hungry for new knowledge and as time goes by I am forever undertaking new courses to aid my desire to help those in need. I specialize in children's healing as their health and well-being are close to my heart. I also help parents in need, for when someone is sick or there's an emotional issue happening at home everyone is affected by it.

I am a member of the Pranic Healers Association of Western Australia, the Massage Association of Australia, International Institute of Complementary Therapists, Children's Complimentary Therapy Network and I have the Working With Children card. I am currently furthering my studies in Yoga for Special Needs and Bush Flower Essences.
