Episode 71 - With Lila Mackenzie

This week we take another trip to Australia as Lila discusses her experience of being a Hirschsprung's mum with a 14 month old son.

With no family history of HD and being a mum to two children already, Lila talks openly around the feelings and concerns of her son's diagnosis.

Lila talks in detail around the importance of the connection to her children and how attunement has played a huge role in her life as a mother.

In the final part we chat about the need to save the team at her local hospital and just how important they are, if you live in the Victoria area and would like to sign the petition, please sign it here:-
