Donna's  passion is helping people live a healthier happier life by helping  heal their body, mind and spirit.   From the time she was a young lady she was aware she had a gift to love and guide others to live a happier,  more joyful life and was also given visions that she later was aware were of my future.  As she continued to experience these vivid pictures and guidance from the spirit, I realized I needed to share this gift with others.  Coaching along with Reiki energy has opened up a whole new world for her.   During her personal healing and coaching sessions , it soon became clear that she needed to deliver these messages she was seeing and hearing to those I loved and was healing.  Donna realized it was just love that comes from both sides of the veil. Donna realizes now that our relationships on earth are intended to last beyond death and that love doesn’t end or die, it just extends and deepens.” To connect with Donna on her page https://www.lifehealingsolutions.com facebook at https://www.facebook.com/donna.gammon.75.

Keri-Ann isa one-person cheer squad, thhere was a time though, when this whole parenting thing was not her jam.  She was determined to be the next best thing to Tupperware, and have a powerful career conquering the business world.  But then her son Lachlan arrived at 26 weeks  and weighing just 2 pounds.  “Seriously, how hard can this mum thing be?” she thought.  She should have known at that point that her whole world was about to be turned upside down!   Fast forward 10 years and she found herself in a hospital meeting room, facing two women from the Department of Child Services asking me the question, “Are you fit to be Mother to your children?” Can you imagine? It was in this moment she realized that she would never parent the same way again.  In fact, she would  never live her life the same way again.  Overcoming grief, anxiety, depression, fear, co-dependency and more …. she found her why and discovered that awareness is key. Now she lives a joyful confident life and my kids, well they are the reason for showing up daily. Kerri-Ann's legacy needed her! To connect with Kerri she can be reached at https://www.kerriannluketic.com.au/ or at Facebook @kerriannsmiles
