Melitsa Avila
Melitsa is a trained teacher who is currently raising two active and smiley
boys. She started Play-activities as a positive move towards providing and
collecting ideas for spending time and taking the time to play with her kids in
educational and fun activities she remembered from her childhood. Activities are
often open ended and give ample opportunity for the kids to take it to whatever
level they want, usually using everyday items found at home.

Sarah Ockwell-Smith
Sarah Ockwell-Smith is a Homeopath & HypnoBirthing Practitioner and mum to three
little boys living in Essex. Before motherhood Sarah worked in the
Pharmeceutical Industry but after the birth of her first child and a brief spell
with practicing Reiki, her new found love of complementary medicine saw her give
up conventional medicine for the more holistic view of Homeopathy, specialising
in the care of women & children. After the birth of her 3rd child, an 11lb 3oz
baby boy born at home in a birthing pool with no pain relief at all, Sarah
decided to train as a HypnoBirthing practitioner in the hopes of helping others
to have an equally calm and enjoyable birth experience.
