About @CEREBRAL PALSY Village Community

Hello Parent Members! 

Hi, I’m a proud mom of a beautiful 28-year-old daughter with cerebral palsy and several comorbidities. Raising her has been an incredible journey—one filled with challenges, growth, and moments of profound connection. When I was navigating those early years, I often felt alone. It wasn’t until I found a small circle of other parents in similar roles that I began to feel supported and empowered.

That’s why I’m so excited to serve as the “Head Barista” in the My Parent Café Cerebral Palsy village. While I’m not an expert, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge through my experiences advocating for my daughter, teaching her to advocate for herself, navigating educational systems, and collaborating with medical professionals. This path has taught me that even without a manual, we adapt and persevere when it matters most.

It’s a privilege to share what I’ve learned, connect with others, and help parents find the support I wish I’d had from the start. Raising my daughter has shown me the kindness and resilience of people, and I’m continually inspired by her strength and determination.

I can’t wait to meet you and support your journey. Find me in the MPC community app under @cpmom!

Warmly,

@cpmom

Hello Parent Members! 

I'm Sarah, a heart-centered wellness advocate, devoted to helping others live with purpose, strength, and connection. I'm also a proud mom to two amazing kids—my 16-year-old son and my 14-year-old daughter, who has cerebral palsy and continues to be one of my greatest teachers in life.

With a master’s degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and expertise in alternative treatments for health and wellness, I brings a unique, holistic approach to healing and personal growth. I am is particularly knowledgeable in stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and frequency-based therapies—modalities I have explored and embraced both personally and professionally. My passion lies in helping families discover options that support deeper healing, improved quality of life, and lasting well-being.

I'm especially committed to supporting fellow moms—particularly those raising children with disabilities—believing that no one should walk this path alone. I know firsthand that connection makes everything better.

Whether I'm playing pickleball, flowing through a hot yoga class, or simply watching birds in the quiet of nature, I find strength and joy in the present moment. I live by the belief that sharing our stories and supporting one another is how we heal, grow, and thrive—together.

Live well, love strong.

 If you know a parent of a CP child, please send them the link to this page so that they can join. MyParent Cafe - Cerebral Palsy - doesn't replace any of the existing communities that exist on traditional social media. We see this as a complimentary and ultimately safer and more helpful platform.

We're also looking for a few more Baristas for this CP community. Baristas are the moderators and community stewards. As we grow, I do hope to invite a mix of parents, medical providers, education and behavioral specialists and non-profit representatives to help ensure the community needs are met.

Finally. We are looking for CP PERK providers. Any product, service or non-profit dedicated to helping to meet the needs of the CP parent community are invited to submit an interest form on our PERK page. We'll be sure to get back to you right away.
