Sally’s journey began when her son was labeled as ‘severely dyslexic’, leaving her feeling like she was in a ‘desert of no beginnings and no endings’. Desperate to get out, she embarked on a spiritual quest that nurtured her own healing, leading to an awareness that it was not her son she had to change, but herself.
From a place of despair she learned to embrace the wonder and incredible beauty in her own son. She realized it is not about fixing her son or anyone else, it is about changing our minds to see with the eyes of love instead of fear. Her workshops teach this journey of hope and healing.
