Testimonials

Pina is grateful to have received the following testimonials:

I am a mother of two children with ASD and GDD, living in Hong Kong. When I first met Pina, I was struggling with my daughter’s self‑harming behaviours, made even harder by her language delay and the isolation of Covid. She often hurt herself or others when frustrated, and balancing work with caring for two children with special needs left me overwhelmed.

A colleague noticed how stressed I was and connected me with Pina on Zoom. From the moment Pina spoke, she understood exactly what I was going through. Within an hour, she offered practical strategies, sent helpful resources, and even shared links to sensory toys that could make daily life easier. Her extra effort genuinely reduced my stress.

My sister from Australia, who also has a daughter with ASD, joined the session and found Pina’s advice invaluable. Pina’s knowledge, kindness, and calm manner made me feel supported, and being able to access help online was incredibly convenient.

I highly recommend Pina to any parent navigating the challenges of raising children with ASD and GDD.

I would like to say something about the experience we have had with the help of Pina. We are a family living in Puerto Rico. We have a five-years old child with a sensory condition. The main problem is related with the feeding. A few years ago, I met Pina who gave us support and recommendations with our situation. She provided us with several useful tools that allowed us to work with our child’s condition. Thanks to Pina’s recommendations, today our son has improved a lot in the management of feeding as well as in many other aspects of sensory activities. Thank you Pina!

My wife and I are deeply grateful for the impact Pina’s virtual sessions have had on our family. Raising an emotionally intense child often left us overwhelmed, and Pina’s guidance quickly became a lifeline. Her empathy and non‑judgmental approach created a safe space for us to share our struggles.

Her expertise and personalized strategies helped us understand and respond to our child’s emotions with practical techniques that truly changed our home environment. What once felt chaotic now feels more connected. Pina’s dedication showed in the ongoing support she offered, always going above and beyond.

Although we first sought help from an occupational therapist for our child, we soon realized how essential it was for us as parents to learn how to respond and model the behaviours we hoped to teach.

Our family dynamics have improved tremendously. We now feel confident, supported, and equipped to nurture our child’s emotional well‑being. We wholeheartedly recommend Pina to any parents facing similar challenges — she is a true professional who makes a real difference.

I would like to thank you for an amazing presentation today. I really appreciated your expertise, your ability to share your own personal and professional experiences and the practical advice that you brought to the session. As a health care provider and a parent who has struggled and continues to learn and forgive myself for being human, it was an excellent learning experience.
