Testimonials

Pina is grateful to have received the following testimonials:

I am a mother of two children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Global Developmental Delay (GDD), currently living in Hong Kong.

When I met Pina, I was going through a very tough time coping with my daughter's self-harming behavior. As she had significant language delay, often she would bang her head, bite herself or family members when she got frustrated. We were also faced by the challenges of Covid where social gatherings were kept to a minimal, and the kids had to wear masks at school, which further impacted on their speech and social development. 

My colleague at work noticed how stressed I was juggling with work and looking after 2 kids with special needs, and put me in touch with Pina via Zoom. The moment I met Pina, she put me at ease as she understood immediately all the challenging scenarios I shared with her. Within an hour of our zoom session, she provided me with a number of strategies how to manage my daughter's challenging behaviour, and also emailed me resources that I needed. She also sent me useful links where I could buy specific sensory toys to make taking care of my daughter easier. I really appreciated all the extra efforts she made finding resources for me to reduce my stress levels!

My sister from Australia was visiting me in Hong Kong at the time, and she sat in on the Zoom session. She also has a daughter with ASD and found the advice and recommendations provided by Pina invaluable ! Apart from being very knowledgeable, Pina was very kind, patient and softly spoken which helped me feel calm and supported. I found being able to access help remotely online extremely helpful, especially when I had limited time juggling work and taking care of the children. 

I highly recommend Pina to all parents who are struggling to cope with the challenges we face day-to-day looking after 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 thrilled to express our deep gratitude for the incredible impact Pina's virtual sessions have had on our family. Raising an emotionally intense child was an overwhelming challenge, leaving my wife and me often at a loss. Pina's guidance was a lifeline. Her empathetic and understanding approach provided a safe space for us to share our struggles without judgment.

Pina's expertise and her personalized strategies were game-changers. She helped us navigate our child's intense emotions with practical techniques that fostered a healthier environment. Our household transformed from chaos to connection. Pina's commitment to our progress went above and beyond, offering continuous support that showcased her genuine dedication.

While we initially sought assistance from an occupational therapist to help our child learn calming strategies, our experience has illuminated a fundamental truth: it is the parents who require coaching on how to react, respond, and exemplify the behaviours we aim to instil. 

Our family dynamics have improved immensely. We now feel equipped to handle challenges with confidence and understanding. Pina’s virtual sessions have given us the tools to nurture our child's emotional well-being and create a more harmonious home. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any parents facing similar challenges – Pina is a true professional who changes lives.

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.
