This first episode is unforgettable! The birth of baby Ami was like any other for Amber, she already had 4 children! When she set eyes on her baby, she knew the feelings she had during her pregnancy were true and baby Ami had Down Syndrome. Amber experienced complete compassion and support from her midwife team and the absolute opposite from a doctor who put nothing but limits on her child, all in the first days of her life. Their birth photographer captured their family so beautifully, the story of Ami’s birth was picked up by mainstream media, as well as Amber’s forgiveness of the doctor who saw nothing but negatives.

Finding Happy Introduction
Welcome to Finding Happy! Join me your host, Sinead Quinn as I chat with women and mothers in our community of differently-abled children. We will share the real, vulnerable and unscripted stories to support and inspire you in your day to day lives. I started my journey as a mum of a child with Down’s Syndrome, and went through 5 years of hell; the birth of 3 children, family health issues, loss, plus moving twice! Through it all, my own health started to suffer. In the search for answers, I discovered how mothers in our differently able community struggle with mental and physical wellbeing. I was inspired to work out how to help myself, and ultimately others. No longer wanting to just survive, I wanted to give my kids and myself the best, I wanted to live instead of dragging myself and my kids through each day. Throughout my own hard times, I was struggling to find inspiration within our community and discovered a deep passion to raise awareness and support for others. I am so honored to bring together women and share with you the uplifting stories from those who are living their full best lives despite the challenges.

MIchelle Islas
Michelle Islas' second daughter Dani surprisingly arrived with Down’s Syndrome and despite being told difficult it would be, a nurse with an adult sister with down’s syndrome inspired Michelle that her daughter could do anything. She stepped away from her career to help navigate her daughter’s care and made tough decisions to find the best education and programs for her care. Dani learned about meditation and yoga in school and Michelle realized how well these skills were working for her daughter, and she started to learn more about other complimentary therapies. She experienced a Reiki treatment and knew she needed to learn more. I love how her Reiki practice has grown and is infused in all parts of her life, from her coaching and consulting to her care for her family. https://www.instagram.com/_michelle_islas_/ https://www.michelleislas.com/
