What people are saying about this book
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading both of your books Else. I’m particularly touched by your stories of little Nicholas and then Nadia..we surely never know what life will throw at us. It is truly inspirational that you’ve turned your previous sorrow and struggles into helping so many people today..I am very proud to know you, keep up the great work.
The Mother and The Therapist is a beautiful, inspirational jewel of a story on how to live one’s life with integrity, grit and love despite the obstacles that present themselves. It gives sage advice to everyone
I had the privilege of being Else’s chiropractor in Singapore. Her openness and respect for inter-professional relationship has “metamorphosis” the doctor-patient relationship to friendship.
I can relate to Else’s situation. As a son and a father, having deep respect for my parents and my wife, who often multitask behind the scenes daily for the family. Sometimes a thankless job done out of a mother’s love.
Else Vistisen has a beautifully unique way of tapping in to the natural flow of an individuals’ being, thus being able to cultivate an organic and natural balance within that individual
That the author, Else Strom Vistisen has been able to fulfil herself both as a mother and as a respected occupational therapist and mentor surely displays what the blend of a secure childhood, considerate parents and relatives, one’ own courage and determination as well as inspiration, may carry.
This book is an open, at times emotionally raw, honest account of Else’s journey so far. I have a feeling there is still much more to come from her! The combination of pain, heartache, joy, love, integrity and passion in her story, events that deliver her perfectly to the place and success she is today, will surely move you. Within these pages you will find many things, including sound advice on parenting, surviving adversity and following your passion.
An insight into the trials and tribulations of balancing motherhood with career. You learn how important love is in the recipe of life. People can identify with Else with the demands of juggling motherhood and career. The book sheds light into the life of the expatriate mother and wife and how one has to balance it all.
In this book Else opens windows to her life as a child, student, young woman, wife, mother and therapist. She shares her life challenges, personal, extremely difficult and deeply touching episodes as well as the brilliant development of her skills to a successful therapist, managing all aspects with high integrity, courage, clear vision and great wisdom
A well-written book with strong inner believes by Else. Easy and good read on how maternal influence has impacted the author’s life experiences.
