Autism is a complex neurological and psychological disorder that can be challenging for children and their families through the lifespan. It is very unique and has a unique face for each and every individual. As Temple Grandin’s famous quote suggests “autism is an extremely variable disorder.”
The ability to communicate, difficulty with social skills and interaction and a variety of behaviors such as running away or self-abuse can be extremely challenging.
As a medical intuitive and practitioner, I assist in bringing an intuitive voice of hope and caring to kids with autism. Through energy medicine and techniques, the flow of positive healing energy can be increased and energy released that is not helpful. Aromatherapy and music can also contribute to awakening their connection, creating calming relaxation and increasing your child’s ability to communicate and focus. Music is very healing and is a language that many people on the spectrum can relate to in a very profound way.
As an interfaith minister, I work with the spirit of your child, teen or young adult to help them find grace, peace, and purpose for their lives. By addressing their spirit and individual natures, my ministry helps them to have a voice in their lives and in the world. In assessing their gifts and strengths, as opposed to their deficits, we can build a purposeful and joyful future.
ADD: Holistic Behavioral Strategies and Socialization Solutions
For children diagnosed with ADD ADHD focusing and completing tasks, organization and impulsivity can all be a part of their day to day life experience. Many of these children have a highly sensitive nature to such things as food, clothing, noise and other external stimuli such as technology. The sensory input from the world around them can cause them to lose focus and sometimes have behaviors that can become difficult for themselves and others. Sleeping can also be challenging for many, as anxiety and an inability to sustain sleep can make symptoms worse and impact their overall health and wellness.
In my holistic health assessment, I will look at details about their behaviors, school performance, and social interactions. With the help of healing touch and other energy modalities, I can assist to bring relaxation and focus. The vibration of healing music and sound can also achieve great benefits in improving their organization and focus. Spiritual counseling focuses on helping my clients to understand their spiritual nature as well as the emotional components involved with living with ADD. Understanding and honoring themselves and how they perceive and experience the world is key to their success and happiness.
Parents and Caregivers of Children on the Spectrum: Self-Empowerment Advocacy
My son was 7 when I stood outside a prominent university hospital feeling overwhelmed having been told he was diagnosed with autism and was profoundly mentally impaired.
The 5 years prior to this day (he came home when he was 2) doctors were saying he was developmentally delayed and suffering from the effects of sensory and emotional deprivation He had been born prematurely at 3 pounds and had spent the first 2 years of his life in an orphanage.
After being enrolled in an early childhood program at 3 years of age he had seen a multitude of physicians, therapists, and educators before the age of 10. All of the terminology and world of special education and services was unknown to me. During my first IEP meeting, I just sat and cried. My son did not speak so it was very difficult for him to communicate.
Going through this difficult time, I was always searching for support and guidance. I had a community group of parents of other children facing developmental challenges that I cherished and helped me a great deal during this time.
A very key aspect of my practice focuses on supporting parents, families, and caregivers. The impact of raising a special child on your personal life, marriage, and all relationships is tremendous. Through our work together you can experience support and peace to balance your experience of parenting and life with a child or teen on the spectrum of autism.
