"Alanna shares a unique range of different skills and recommendations for our kid's age and what their specific needs are at each level. Such as different ways with communicating about their day at school, visual and kinesetic activities, soothing and enhancing our child's sensory, taste meditation...oh the amazing list goes on. "
- Mother of 2 (under 10 years old)
G'day I’m Alanna Fae Cooper founder of the Raising Happy Bush Kids Academy.
I grew up an only child moving around mainly country NSW, Australia.
The day I arrived home from our honeymoon I made a commitment to myself and my future children that I would provide myself with the best health that I could, from that day forward I connected with the company of others who thrived in nature and natural therapies, I began to change my behaviours using hypnotherapy techniques which allowed my husband and I to conceive 2 healthy boys.
But my vision of the healthy parent I wanted to be shattered when my eldest son reached 3 years old, he began displaying violent behaviours. I still vividly remember the first time he turned around and hit me. My whole body went into fear & survival mode my breathing became rapid my logic that he was a young developmentally normal behaved boy went out the window, I felt uncomfortable to be in his presence. I reacted by isolating him in his room for a short period of time.
Once I calmed down, I felt a deep sense of wanting to do things differently from my parents, and I also realised that I still had unresolved trauma in my body from when I was younger, so I became qualified in; Children’s Yoga, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Sound Meditation and Ancestral Clearing & DNA Healing, I also refreshed my knowledge in Early Childhood Education which I have been qualified in for over 15 years.
My programs have also been used by many early educational facilities and primary schools who truly value holistic wellbeing for children and connections to the land that we are living on.
