Parenting Coach, Occupational Therapist & Speaker, Cape Town.
Celeste Rushby has been with Munchkins Parenting since 2010 and took over the business in 2020 when Andalene passed away. Her experience as an occupational therapist and mother of three teenagers (a daughter and boy/girl twins, who were all born prematurely, at 30 and 32 weeks respectively) together with extensive and ongoing training, has played a key role in her many successes as a parenting coach and trusted mentor to the Munchkins Parenting team. Her repertoire also includes specialised training in Neurodevelopmental Supportive Care of High-Risk Infants (with the primary focus on premature babies).
Says Celeste:”Having 3 children in under 3 years comes with its challenges, but when you have the right parenting tools, there are a lot more fun times than challenging ones. With these practical tools, you can change your family status from “surviving” to “thriving”.
I realise that you cannot compare your challenges to those of others, and you can never judge others until you’ve walked in their shoes. Things don’t always work out “by the book” because our precious babies aren’t robots, but there are very practical tools that can help you to get through the challenges with confidence and a smile. And I feel so privileged to be able to empower parents with them.”
