Just before Christmas, our much-loved friend Ali suffered a devastating accident when she fell down the stairs at home, resulting in a broken neck and paralysis. In a moment, life changed beyond recognition.

Ali is a devoted mum raising her two wonderful boys, and until this accident she was self-employed, running her own practice as a hypnotherapist and parenting mentor. Through her work, Ali has touched the souls of so many — supporting parents through some of their most challenging moments, helping families navigate complex parenting predicaments, and offering compassion, calm and clarity when it was needed most.

This page has been set up by friends and family on behalf of Ali and her boys, to help support them through the months ahead and to relieve immediate financial pressure while Ali focuses on recovery and adapting to this new reality.

Funds raised will help with:

- Day-to-day household and living costs while Ali is unable to work

- Care, specialist equipment and home adaptations as her needs become clearer

- Supporting the family so their lives can remain as stable and secure as possible

Ali has given so much to others — emotionally, professionally and personally. She is deeply loved, and the outpouring of concern already shows how many lives she has touched. This is our chance to give something back and to surround Ali and her boys with practical support, care and stability.
