As a professional I learned the impact our interactions with our children have on the development of their brain, attachment, and how this links to them fostering healthy relationships when they grow up. It wasn’t until I became a mom that I understood how big of an undertaking it was to be responsible for the creation of this foundation. I knew the how and understood the science but I felt ill equipped especially after having my twins because of where I was at mentally. It was during this time that I was made aware of the link between my own self care and my children’s emotional growth. I had disregarded my own wellbeing for many months and it furthered my spiral into post partum depression and anxiety. I wasn’t able to be the emotional regulator my children needed or be as present with them. With a support network built around me, medication, therapy, and intentional self care, I was able to claw myself out of that dark place, taking a lot of lessons with me.
One part is the part the world sees. The tangible things in life that we identify with. I have two amazing children and have worked for the past 10 years under the professional life in the field of social work. I have seen and worked with the families and children who have been through the really tough stuff in life that no one wants to talk about exists. This work in itself, and having a son who had many diagnosis and struggles is what pushed me into the more raw version of who I am inside; the curious, more passionate side of my human experience. This is the second part of who I am; the more raw version. This journey has allowed me to publish my own book about my son called ‘How Many Labels Does One Child Need’, explore other means of healing and self discovery in travelling the world for spiritual missions, obtaining my Masters in Reiki, Certified End of Life Doula, a degree in Metaphysical Sciences, became an Ordained Minister, and is able to connect to the layers of children and their energetic make ups through practices like Rainbow Yoga and Chakra healing.
