“AUTISM, ADHD, ANXIETY, OCD – 10 YR OLD
We are only 2 months into working with Maria and I am just so excited with our progress so far!
My son was diagnosed with Autism at age 4 and is now 10. Over the years I have done a multitude of Integrative Health approaches with him and all with varying degrees of success. I have also done tonnes of research and learning myself on a lot of these factors – Pyrrole, MTHFR, Gut Health and functionality, neurotransmitter synthesis etc… I honestly feel like I know A LOT more than most Dr’s on all this stuff, I even started a Science Degree (but no time to study ?).

Yet I was still left feeling a bit lost and to be honest VERY overwhelmed. No practitioner I had ever met was able to bring it all together for me in one place and look at it all holistically to truly support my boy.
Late 2017 things got really tough for us and 2018 started of dreadfully, I just knew I needed to dig even deeper. I took my son out of school and started the GAPS diet to try and address his increasingly debilitating issues. In desperation one night (at around 3am I think) I googled some of his symptoms and magically stumbled upon Maria. I booked the 15 minute chat with her and I knew straight away, once we got talking, that she knew her stuff and could help us.

We have done tests with Maria that I had never heard of before (and I thought we had done it ALL) and we have discovered imbalances in him that answer A LOT of the questions that just weren’t improving with his health despite loads of supplements and interventions previously.
We have a lot to deal with and the road will be quite long I think but for the first time I finally feel like I have someone BY MY SIDE who listens, who cares and who is not going to just give up on this complex kid (as so many others have). I think Maria secretly enjoys the challenge ? I’m also not feeling so overwhelmed, despite the amount of issues we have to deal with, because Maria delivers the blows with love and kindness and with a confidence that the issues can not only be addressed but that in time they can improve. I truly feel like I have her in my court guiding me and supporting me and this is all done over the phone and Skype.

In less than 8 weeks we are already seeing huge improvements, so much so that we are having a meeting about transitioning back to school tomorrow ?
For anyone parenting a child with these issues, and especially as a solo parent, you would know how isolating this journey can be. Even family and close friends just don’t really get what we go through day in day out. I feel as though in 2 short months Maria has moved up my list of most trusted people to share my true feelings about these parenting challenges and that my angst will be met with understanding and compassion and not only that but sharing also helps my son as well. A win win all round.
Thank you so much Maria ? I am so delighted we found you and I hope others with kids like me will give your services a try as you truly make a difference with what you do ❤️”
