Chynna is very excited to annouce the release of her memoir, Not Just Spirited: A Mother's Sensational Journey With Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), about what life is like to raise a child with SPD.

The book describes a mother's frustration of knowing something is wrong with her child, Jaimie, but not being able to help her because no one would believe Jaimie's behaviour was anything more than that: behaviour. But no matter what the obstacles were, no matter how strong the resistance, Chynna fought to be heard for her child's sake and finally won.

Chynna uses her experiences to help other parents get the help they need and to inspire them to tell their own stories. Not only will parents be able to relate to elements of Chynna's story, they will get the "inside scoop" on what to watch for when suspecting there's a problem, when to get help and how to get people to listen, what the assessments, diagnosis and therapy processes are like and what it's like at home with these often misunderstood and misdiagnosed children. Chynna also shares the pain of raising a child with a severe "no touch" rule. She calls it, "Mothering without touch."

We will post updates as we receive them regarding publication date, who'll be writing the forward and other fun and exciting things.

Thank you for your support.
