Cushla and I worked together over the course of a few months to support her own health as well as that of her baby son.
At the time she was at her wits end, sleep deprived and at a loss as to how to curb this downward spiral. The personalised remedy blend for him, and Baby Bowen enabled a positive change in him, which allowed Cushla to come up for air, and recharge her own battery with a personalised approach as well.
What a fabulous outcome for both!
