About Lisa

Lisa Dell’Arciprete’s qualifications include a BA in Psychology and a Diploma in Holistic Living Counselling. She is currently co-director of Holistic Solutions Life Education and Principal of the Australian Centre for Holistic Studies.
Lisa is passionate about bringing a Holistic approach to parenting, especially in the case of children with special needs. She sees parents as primary role models, but also people who need great nurturing and care, spending so much of their time caring. Her aim in this blog is to assist parents in supporting themselves through what can be a difficult journey. She brings her professional expertise together with her warm, open and compassionate approach to parents and children.
She has found great results in using an integrated Holistic approach in the parenting of her own 12 year old son who has a diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome.  In this blog, she shares stories of some of the ups and downs of her journey; hoping that her triumphs and indeed mistakes, will serve others in some way.
Her son’s name has been changed to protect his privacy.
