Bend, Do not Break! When a family is navigating a life with their child that has developmental challenges, they experience a bend in what they expected their path's direction would be as a family. It is not uncommon to experience a feeling of loss and grief in this journey. As a mom of two boys that are my inspiration and a guiding light in my life, I have experienced a paradox in loving them. One is here in this life, and the other is in the life-thereafter. The life given to me is a challenge in parenting both of my children- to live as one family in life- to never break- but instead to live in the Beautiful Bend.

 

As a pediatric therapist in a hospital setting, as well as home, daycare, and school, for 15 years, I have been incredibly blessed and privileged to be a support to many families navigating their 'bends' in the Southern part of Manitoba. Often these were difficult and confusing challenges; we listened, shared, and acknowledged the hard and celebrated the beauty that is also present. I would like to continue to be a support to children and their families in this journey as a private practitioner. At Beautiful Bend I am passionate about supporting you, your child, and family navigating the 'beautiful bends' that occur in your journey as a family.
