    About Me

    Hello :-) My name is Andrea. I am 35 years old and have two fab boys (Sonny and Finn). I am in a relationship with my wonderful man Maff - not married as I do not follow a christian faith. I am a spiritualist and follow spiritualist beliefs and practice healing. I work as a state registered paramedic in Frome, Somerset, UK and have been in the service for nearly 10 years. Recently, our new baby was pre-diagnosed with cerebral palsy. This has truly effected me and a deep sadness has been inside me since hearing these words. Life has always been fantastic and still is - I appreciate every day with my family - but I cannot shake off this sadness in me.

    Interests

    I play accoustic guitar and sing. I practice spiritual healing and have been reading Tarot for 15 years.

    • Close Cerebral Palsy

      My 9 month old boy Sonny is currently being tested for cp. Initally we were told that Sonny was blind but this is not the case. Sonny cannot sit up or roll or hold his head steady. In the last 2 wks he is able to open his hands and grab for objects which is very encouraging for us. Sonny is fab and we love him unconditionally but this has made us very sad.

      Treatments

      Phototherapy Considering
      Was approached to see if we wanted Sonny to have an 8 week therapy involving lights and optic fibres. Going to try this to see if Sonny gets some benefits.
