Maru says: "I'm an Aware Parenting mentor (Level 1), EC and potty learning consultant. Originally from Mexico, I’ve lived in the UK for 17 years and have two energetic kids, aged 7 and 5.
I’m passionate about trusting children’s innate goodness and honoring their true nature. My work focuses on our physiological needs, ancestral habits, and healing from stress and trauma stored in the body."
