Hi - I’m Mariana!
As a Paediatric Physical Therapist, I've been working with children with cerebral palsy and other developmental challenges for over 24 years.
From the beginning, I was eager to learn and develop the best therapeutic toolbox to help my little patients. I was doing my best, pouring my heart into each therapy session and trying to help each child as much as possible. Twelve years into my practice were enough to acknowledge that my strategies were only sometimes working. I was doing my best, but that wasn't enough, especially with the more challenged children.
This was when I learned about fascia and its essential role in controlling movement and posture. I went through a complete transformation from being a therapist trying to "fix" a child to understand the child's healing potential and, more importantly, recognizing that parents could be the best therapists for their children.
I changed the way I was seeing the kids, and the strategies to help them. The results were mind blowing! Parents, therapists and doctors were amazed. But beyond that, the transformation happening in the families, beyond the child, became my biggest motivation.
For over a decade, I've taught parents, like you, how to do fascia therapy with their children. I've done it in different styles: groups, private training, online, and courses.
Today with my TheraParent Coaching, I am combining the best of all that: a customized program for your child, delivered online so you can learn at your own pace, but with regular support and coaching and, the best part, with a like-minded community of parents that are sharing their experience, wins, challenges and more.
