The Power of Parenting

        

Sunday, March 19th from 3pm at 3pm

        

17 years ago, while working as a homeopath with children suffering from ailments, Hannah Pilnick asked herself, “Why do children suffer? How does their suffering serve them, their parents, and humanity?”

        

Throughout her experience healing people, from common issues to life threatening ones, Hannah Pilnick has seen the influence parents have on their children’s lives. A breakthrough enabled her to see that influence not only in the physical world but also on a deeper level, one that our five senses cannot detect. Hannah Pilnick will share with you what she has discovered regarding the power of parental love in their children’s wellbeing and health.
