Holli Kenley’s latest book, Pilates for Parenting, is an important and impactful read. I had never heard of the correlation made between exercise and parenting, but Kenley flows the two together effortlessly. Much like exercise is important for the positive functioning of your body, learning to “stretch,” “strengthen,” and “balance” your parenting techniques is important for the positive functioning of your relationships.

Understanding the importance of exercise to strengthen your body, it only makes sense that for something as important as parenting, there should be workouts for it as well. We should think of Kenley as our trainer; her routine initially includes a warmup, much like a personal pep talk, followed by a workout for each parenting topic, which includes two to three exercises to perform in each workout. The workouts are meant to be done purposefully, so rushing and not putting your heart into the work is not proper grounds to move forward.

Kenley includes research to back up her claims about the proper parenting styles and the obstacles that parents must overcome in this day and age, namely, technology and social media. She includes three Appendixes at the end to aid us parents who need her help and refreshingly speaks openly about personal experiences that pertain to each topic.

Holli Kenley’s “Pilates for Parenting” can be used by any parent raising children in today’s society. I love that in the book, she emphasizes the fact that even if the reader starts discovering things they need to work on, that you shouldn’t let that keep you down- learning to forgive and correct is part of the journey. She writes inclusively and with compassion. I can’t say enough good things about her and this book because if people will take her words to heart, it is true that not only family relationships will improve, but also relationships in the community and around the world.

Gifts From the Child Within brings a refreshing approach to guiding its
reader to understanding the initial or underlying basis to their
emotional suffering due to past childhood trauma. This recovery book is
geared toward both professional and layperson. Its pages are filled
with offerings from psychological, physiological, and spiritual
perspectives which takes the reader on a journey into the soul. It is
written with sensitivity and clarity inviting the reader to search
within for healing.


As the author shares her own journey of childhood abuse, the reader is
asked to address issues surrounding physical, mental, spiritual, and
sexual abuse. Instructions are captured to guide one toward reaching
for their own child within; releasing negative emotions; re-creating
outdated childhood beliefs; and, to recognize the gifts the inner child
has for us.


The process of Re-Creation Therapy(tm) is introduced by the author allowing
the reader who follows its guidance to reap the effects of gradual
changes in self-awareness which lead to a greater understanding of the
psychodynamics the child within plays in the adult life. Included are a
series of healing visualizations and autohypnosis suggestions; blank
journal pages; and sample affirmations following each chapter.
