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.

If you were abused or neglected as a child, chances are that you have been your whole life, whether you
are a man, a woman, or a teen. Child abuse so mangles the personality that the victim unconsciously

abuse, and you still believe them. Until you understand exactly what the abuse did to you, you cannot
get free. Soul Rape: Recovering Personhood After Abuse provides an effective 7-step program for use by victims, their therapists, and for group work.

In this book, survivors and professionals will discover:
  • How celebrities become addicts

  • What a faith-based 7-step program for abuse recovery can do for you
  • How addressing abuse solves cycle of addiction
  • Why mental illness is a reaction to somebody else's craziness
  • How group work can transform victims into survivors
  • Why "bootleg" churches are starving souls and endangering America

  • A Test to Find DANGEROUS STUDENTS before it's too late



    Therapists acclaim for Soul Rape


    "Soul Rape is a tour de force of the tortured landscape of child abuse
    and its pernicious long-term outcomes. Numerous case studies expertly
    intertwine with theoretical insights to produce the equivalent of a
    comprehensive and unconventional treatment modality. This book is an
    important contribution toward the edification of victims and institutions
    alike."

    --Sam Vaknin, PhD, author Malignant Self-Love



    "This book should be compulsory reading for anyone
    dealing with abused children or abused adults, or adult survivors of
    childhood abuse: physicians, psychologists, and other therapists, teachers,
    protective workers, and so on. And the language is so clear and nontechnical
    that it will be of enormous benefit to the survivors of trauma
    themselves, and even to parents who want to ensure the safety and
    wellbeing of their children."

    --Robert Rich, PhD, M.A.P.S, A.A.S.H.
