Because what she lived through will light the way for another mom still in the dark.)

“He was completely nonverbal. He was not potty trained. He would make no eye contact. He had no emotion. It felt like he was just looking through us. We had no relationship with him.”

When Allison first found us, her son Merrick had been kicked out of two daycares for aggression. He survived on veggie sticks and muffin tops, barely slept, and couldn’t be left alone for a moment without a meltdown.

She had tried everything—speech therapy, OT, elimination diets, supplements—and still felt like she was losing him. Then came the breaking point:

“We both were like, we can’t live like this. This is no life for him, this is no life for us.”

What followed was courage, commitment, and the kind of transformation that gives other families hope.


The Mic Drops That Say It All

🩵 “If better is possible, is good good enough?”
🩵 “What would be the amount of money I would pay to have a relationship with my son?”
🩵 “We cut out all processed foods, dyes, and sugar… and that was the biggest lightbulb moment. We started to see who Merrick actually was.”
🩵 “You met me where I was at. It felt doable.”
🩵 “In this program, I always know the why. I’m never guessing.”
🩵 “He’s able to have a conversation with us now.”
🩵 “Now if I am upset, he’ll come up to me, wipe away my tears, and say, ‘Wipers!’”
🩵 “We get to be a family. I love hanging out with them now.”
🩵 “We’re living what we prayed for.”
🩵 “My son is not the unicorn.”
🩵 “If you wait for people to help you, you’ll wait years. You have to start now.”
