    Mar 29 2021
    Funny, honest, humble…. Stacey has an INCREDIBLE story to tell, we have managed to squeeze some if it in to this amazing episode.
    Stacey is Mum of four children and when her daughter started school she found that she really started to struggle with her mental health.  It took 8 years for any diagnosis to be made.
    Stacey talks openly about selective mutism, OCD, depression, anxiety and psychosis and how through sheer bold determination and love she eventually got the support her daughter needed in terms of mental, medical and emotional health and education.
    Stacey’s beautiful energy explains about how through hearing about The Positivitree she was introduced to her beloved Woo Woo Tribe.

  • 3: Episode 3: Kristinna
    Mar 22 2021
    Kristinna is Mum to two gorgeous girls and lives between Chorley and Preston in the UK.  When her daughter Pippi started having pains in her back, she was initially fobbed off and told the pain was linked to her daughters Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. 

    Like many parents Kristinna just KNEW that this pain her daughter was experiencing something more sinister.  After several weeks going back and forth her daughter was finally admitted to hospital where it was a further 10 weeks before she was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, a rare cancer.

    Kristinna explains how she went against the medical status quo and used a combination of holistic methods  to heal her daughter.
