Sharing the highs, lows, challenges and triumphs of a life altered by facial differences & special needs
Hi, I’m Charlie, proud mum to twins Oliver and Harry, mentor to other parents whose lives have been altered by their child’s disability, workplace advocate for parent carers and author. I’m also a massive lover of cheese and gin! Welcome to our website where you will read about the highs, lows, challenges, and triumphs of a life which changed unexpectedly when Harry was born with a craniofacial syndrome and was later diagnosed with autism. I am real, honest (brutally at times) and passionate about supporting others on journeys they never expected to take. Welcome to our happy madness!
Our Altered Life is an honest account of the shock, grief and struggle as well as the acceptance, joy and fierce love that my children have brought into my life.
Download chapter one for free here and subscribe to my short and sweet (just like me) weekly newsletter which offers support, hope and sometimes just a giggle. It’s important to me that parents know whatever they think or feel, they’re not the only one and that they are never truly alone even when it feels that way.
You can also read the incredible reviews and buy the book on Amazon now by clicking here.
