About Me
I am a 45-year old stay-at-home mom, with a husband, a 17 year old son and a 14-year old daughter with Williams Syndrome, and one cat. I studied architecture at the U of U before my first pregnancy, but have been totally involved as a mom and home-maker ever since our son was born. I had no idea, going into it, how overwhelming motherhood would be. It has been both the hardest and the most wonderful thing I have ever done. I am lucky to have a supportive, patient, and kind-hearted husband, and a couple of the best kids ever.

Treatments
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I pray frequently and also practice yoga at home in my living room. It is good to stretch my mind as well as my body to regulate my breathing and keep me feeling physically and mentally strong. My daughter does yoga with me so we gain the benefits together.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I get a lot of moral and emotional support from extended family church and friends as well as from my husband. I dont ask for much help as far as time i.e. babysitting. I think as my daughter grows older I will need to seek out some type of respite care periodically.
