Welcome To Learning By Essence


Learning by essence  was inspired by my son, Conor, who, at the age of 6, quite simply said, " If this helps me, mummy, I want to tell all the other children like me so that we can help them!"   I would sincerely, and with much love, like to thank  him for all the hard times  that he  has endured and for everything that he has tried, which has taught me  so much to be able to help so many others.

My involvement with children with learning difficulties started through my own personal experience with my son Conor, who at the age of six was diagnosed as having severe dyslexia and dyscalcula.  Conor was statemented and, when he was assessed by a doctor at the  Dyslexia institute, we were advised to arrange an appointment with the child mental health service because of his severe emotional behavioural problems that were linked to his learning difficulties. 

Things were not looking good at school; the school didn't really seem to care or want to help and home was just like living in a time bomb. The stress in the house was awful and, unfortunately, all consuming.

However, convinced there had to be another way (and never one  to give up) I stuck to a promise that I had made Conor when I first discovered that he had dyslexia, which was simply to help him.

I became quite ill through the associated stress related to Conor's learning difficulties and turned to alternative therapies to help put my body back into balance after I was experiencing some very scary symptoms!

Now passionate about the therapies that had successfully helped me recover, I decided to train in them so that I could help others and in particular I wanted to help the children and their families who go through such emotional turmoil when they have a learning difficulty to deal with. 

As a family we had tried many "cures"  to try and help Conor's learning difficulties, but none seemed to work for him or do anything to help his self esteem or his emotional stress. 

For  all that Conor had tried, and all that I had learned through his trying, I realized (and it was becoming quite apparent) that all  learning difficulties and attention deficits were caused for completely different reasons; for some it could be something as simple as a dietary problems and candida, for others it could be toxins and undevelopmental/non intregrated areas in the brain, or emotional blocks to learning itself and for others it was simply identifying their particular learning profiles. With more complicated cases and varying degrees of severity, I was finding that it was a combination of things!

Unfortunately, all this information is not readily available to us normal parents and is rarely taken into consideration by our schools or by our doctors, so I wanted to create a website that would give parents the information it has taken me years to find out!

Once we  identify the areas that need addressing, we can put them back into balance naturally. Then we need to help the children to discover the easiest way for them to learn, in combination with helping them to remove all their limiting beliefs. This, in conjunction with parental support, can boost their (understandably) low self esteem, at which point you will begin simply to see the gifted children that they all really are. 

Happy Children Mean Happy Families!
