In this episode of the Living Aware Parenting Podcast, I am joined by Maru Rojas, an Aware Parenting mentor originally from Mexico and now living in London.

We celebrate the 80th birthday of Aletha Solter, the founder of Aware Parenting, and discuss the profound impact her work has had on our lives.

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."
