Mission
Mission
Over the years, Marla has worked with many families and children with special needs, especially those affected by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). She is always amazed by the selfless parents and caretakers, because it really does "take a village" to raise any child. Therefore, her mission is two-fold:
- To serve children and individuals with special needs (whether visible or "invisible") and their families and caretakers, by introducing adjunct natural therapies of yoga and essential oils.
- To create a community network of families to be strong and healthy naturally, Rooted Together! (Just like sequoia trees in the Redwood Forest.)
