If you can't find a group.. start a group. :) I have 2 wonderful special needs kids.. a 10 year old boy with Aspergers and an 8 year old girl with ADHD. I'm looking for other parents to connect with and share the experience. Seems like we could help eachother avoid the IEP pitfalls, find better resources and possibly create lasting friendships for our children as well as ourselves. As great as our families and friends are, they aren't in our shoes... Heck, sometimes it's a problem trying to …

This group is designed for women who are longing to be a mom. If you are thinking of or going through IVF, Surrogacy or Adoption, this group is for you. I have done a lot of research and can’t seem to find much support in this area for moms-in-waiting. I would love for us to get to know each other and provide support that all so desperately need. I have an office in Burlingame where we can meet, but we can also find other locations that will work for everyone.

As a woman trying to conceive or going through the adoption process, you have probably felt any or all of these: impatient, frustrated, stressed, "am I doing this right?", scarcity and lack, afraid, worried, doubtful, alone, jealous, scattered, unsure of yourself. The purpose of this group is to cultivate inner stillness, peace and calm surrounding you and the choices you make on your fertility journey. By doing this, we teem the soil and create rich, fertile ground in ourselves so that we can g …

Children and teens today lead lives full of stress. They are under pressure to perform, pressure to get good grades, and social pressure from their peers.

We come together at least once a month for fun and interactive workshops (for 8-13 year olds) where kids are in a safe, structured and nurturing environment and they can have some fun. Each workshop is led by a professional. We play games, and learn …

What is one of the big barriers standing between you and your success? A Belief. This belief traps you in a world of scarcity & lack (which translates into not enough money, time, resources, choice, & freedom). The belief? That your abundance, your prosperity, your wealth, your successes are outside of you. You have been duped to believe that someone or something (usually money & material gain) will bring you the final satisfaction of abundance. You think that once you have tha …
