Morning has Broken – Marina's song
On Nov. 26, 2008 Janaia Hutzal’s entire life tragically changed; when morning broke her daughter, Marina Jane McQuaig, only eight years old, did not survive the night. At the time, Janaia was going through a divorce, she had not worked outside the home in almost a decade, the stock market was crashing and she had two other children to raise and care for in a city she had yet to call home.
All of this left her asking, “Who am I and how am I going to survive?”
Over fifteen years of practicing holistic wellness and studying the positive effects of maintaining a healthy ecosystem of all seven aspects of wellness, taught Janaia that knowing and honouring one’s true essence is the first step to finding the answer to “who" and through this she also discovered tools to “how."
The effects of the trauma of helplessly watching a child suffer from brain injury affects every part of a family as a whole – and each individual. The positive part of her own journey is that she has developed concrete skills to support others on their own "journeys to the rise," simply by planting the seeds.

"Learning to love again begins with self-love. Today offer yourself grace and forgiveness, loyalty without lies, acceptance and appreciation, support and self-care and then, surrender. Raise your hands to the Heavens, knowing that once you have done all you can do, each of your tiny ripples will be taken over by a power greater than your own to create the waves."
