The Sacred Child
Guardian of the Sacred Child
For over 30 years, I have been the mother of a daughter with profound special needs. Like so many parents, I have experienced the fear, heartbreak, exhaustion, guilt, financial pressure, and overwhelming isolation that often accompany this journey.
I know what it feels like to hold down a career while trying to be the mother your child deserves. I understand the impossible balancing act of caring for your special needs child, nurturing your marriage, being present for your other children, managing a home, and carrying responsibilities that few people truly understand.
There were days when I felt completely alone, and I wished someone had been there to tell me to take a breath, that there was another way, that I didn’t have to carry the weight by myself.
That is why I created the Sacred Child Alliance.
It is more than a coaching practice. It is a compassionate community where parents of children with special needs can find understanding, practical guidance, encouragement, and rediscover their inner might. A place where you are free to speak honestly without fear of judgement, where your experiences are validated, and where you find a sounding board to revisit your dreams.
My role is not to tell you how to live your life.
My role is to stand with you in your corner, and help you find the clarity, confidence and courage to make the decisions that are right for you and your unique family.
Every child is different, every family is different, and every parent deserves to know they don’t need to walk this journey in isolation.
If my lived experience can make your road a little lighter, then every challenge I have faced has found a greater purpose and can help you honour your journey!
Each child is as vulnerable as they are Sacred, and they deserve to be treated with love, respect, and dignity in all communities. Sadly, this is not always the case, and children who are differently abled are often marginalised, sidelined, cast aside, neglected, demonised, ignored, treated like zoo animals, abused, and seen as sub-human. This is largely due to a combination of ignorance, poverty, poor resources, among other harsh realities.
Julie aims to elevate the profile of the Sacred Child, educate communities, parents, carers, educators, and society, so that the world becomes a kinder place for the child with special needs.
