“It’s been incredible, thank you so much! It really is true we don’t need to train our children to sleep, we just create the environment, and hold gentle loving space and they will do the rest.”
Wow, we fully followed your guidance and finally fully committed and separated Kiyara’s feed from sleep and no more feeding through the night and it worked like a charm. Kiyara had some big feelings at first, but I held space for her in my arms and after she moved through it she was so relaxed and fell asleep and only woke up once in comparison to like 5-6 times. Day 3 she slept through the whole night and just a slight cry for 5 minutes at bedtime and fell right asleep, same for naps, right to sleep in 5 minutes. It’s been incredible thank you so much! It really is true we don’t need to train our children to sleep, we just need to create the environment and hold gentle loving space and they will do the rest.

“It was a complete revelation! Thank you for your wisdom.”
This morning I was teaching a class with young children (3-4 years old), and a new girl started crying hysterically when her mom left the room. Instead of trying to distract her with toys or saying “it’s okay”, as I normally would do, I looked at her straight in the eyes, told her that I understood it was hard, that I know she was feeling scared, and that I was there for her. I held her gaze and simply stayed present. Within minutes, her crying stopped, and she was happily playing. It was a complete revelation! Thank you for your wisdom.

“Between her lived experience as an HSP mother, her training as a kinesiologist, and her deep love and conviction for the Aware way, she is a wonderful Aware Parenting Instructor.”
It’s been beautiful watching Lia’s Aware Parenting journey - she really does live and breathe the philosophy. Not just in the way she parents her 21 month old son, Ori, but also in the way she is gently reparenting herself.
I think it takes both tenderness and courage to parent in an Aware way because it is counter-culture, especially here in Hong Kong. Lia is such a beautiful combination of these two qualities. Again and again, I watch her choosing her son’s heart over people-pleasing, be it with family who don’t understand how crying can possibly be a good thing, to strangers in the park telling Ori boys can’t be shy, to playgroups where ‘being polite’ overrides what is natural.
Lia is the first friend I’ve known who considers mothering her calling. The fact that she ‘winds down’ to books on trauma, attachment and human flourishing probably says a lot! Between her lived experience as an HSP mother, her training as a kinesiologist, and her deep love and conviction for the Aware way, she is a wonderful Aware Parenting instructor.

“I can’t express how grateful I am for the advice you’ve given me!”
I can’t express how grateful I am for the advice you’ve given me. My daughter managed to sleep through the night, from 8:15pm to 7am. I guess this has been the longest sleep we have had since she started sleeping in our room!

I LOVE working with Lia! Her nurturing and calming presence make her the perfect practitioner for my over anxious personality.

“Making an appointment with Lia, is making a choice to connect with our most vibrant essence.”
Like turning the pages of an immensely satisfying book, Lia’s sessions are thoughtful and thought-provoking, making you want to dive in further and eat up all her words. She does one thing, and that one thing could very well be the spark that lights the root of all things: connecting you to you. She is able to fully tune in to my being, on a historic and molecular level. Lia has been selective on building her toolbox: A handful of techniques and instruments that effectively speak to all senses. She tunes in to several areas that require attention now, including areas I’m mindful of, as well as areas that have been wholly beyond my awareness. She gives these parts of me that I’ve been avoiding, ignoring, or ignorant to, the attention they’ve been seeking. Lia clears stagnant, and sometimes destructive energy, then guides the light to unlock our truest possibilities. Making an appointment with Lia, is making a choice to connect with our most vibrant essence.

“I was blown away at how Lia was able to communicate with my body and find subtle and powerful insights to what I was holding in my body and what it was trying to say.”
I had not heard of kinesiology before I went into my session with Lia and was not sure what to expect. I decided to try it because I was having chronic low back pain for no obvious reason. I was enjoying a several month break from my strenuous job, on vacation, enjoying massages and tons of self care but my low back was still tight and ceasing up as if I were overworking and lifting heavy objects. I have done chiropractic and massage therapy for years and thought that I was just overworking my back at work, but it made no sense for it to still be so tight and ceasing up after 2 months off of work.
To my surprise during the session several powerful insights came very quickly and I realized I was holding past fears and insecurities in that area. I was blown away at how Lia was able to communicate with my body and find subtle and powerful insights to what I was holding in my body and what it was trying to say.
There were other powerful insights during the session and I am absolutely intrigued by this healing technique. I would love to try it again and see what other areas of my life my body holds insight to.

“I feel stronger after her sessions.”
Lia has extensive knowledge through her own experiences in various fields. I am an entrepreneur and she has been able to pinpoint my fears and insecurities and de-stress them. After a couple of treatments, I felt more certain and clear about what I want and do not want in my life and business. Lia also helped me with some digestive problems by providing some guidance with nutrition. All in all, I feel stronger after her sessions and I definitely recommend her services to everyone who is looking for some clarity and support, both business and private.

“Lia has a knack for uncovering blocks that I don’t even know I’m holding on to.”
Her relaxed, non-judgmental sessions always leave me feeling lighter, clearer, and so much more at ease.
