We started having appointments with Luke to utilise his Naturopathic & functional medicine skills & knowledge for my 4 year old son who was newly diagnosed with ASD and was non verbal.
Luke recommended we try Essence Therapy after we had been working on my son’s diet and nutrition. The essences had a positive effect on my son’s speech rather quickly. When we saw the positive impact from just using 1 essence, I had to book in with Kristi, as I would do anything/try anything to help my son.
Little did I know that I was the one that needed help.
I booked my son’s first appointment with Kristi which I attended on his behalf as he couldn’t talk back then. I was blown away with how much knowledge Kristi had from our first interaction via tele-health.
At the end of the session Kristi asked “but how are you going?”. I quickly answered “I’m fine” fighting back my tears. It was easy for me to deflect from myself & keep the focus on my son.
In my mind I thought once “If my child is good I’ll be good”.
Clearly Kristi could see through my “I’m fine” reply & she could see how stressed and anxious I was.
To tell you the truth, looking back on the past year working with her, I was struggling and just going through the motions of life to survive.
After a few sessions for my son with Kristi, she recommended I possibly have some personal appointments for myself.
This sent my mum guilt high, booking out time from my family and spending money on me?!. It’s silly now that I look back.
I opened up to Kristi how hard life was with my stresses & anxiety which we were able to work & talk though each appointment & then I was sent the continued support I needed via the suitable essence therapy she dispenses to remedy my concerns till our next session.
Kristi is one of the most caring, loving humans I have met.Never did I feel judged and always felt safe in what she would recommend. It’s now been over a year that I’ve been having sessions for myself & I now I completely have these sessions for myself because I want to! I can easily say I went from struggling, surviving to now THRIVING in life and guess what… Now that I’m thriving, so are my children.
Having kristi as my coach, cheerleader and support I feel like I can do anything.She has given me the tools to lean in on the hard times and never give up. I’m doing things now that I never thought were possible.
Thank you Kristi!
