My wife and I recently attended The Sick Sense workshop. Illy gave us confidence to assess our newborn and develop our ‘sick sense’ we learnt when is the right time to get to the ED vs the GP, how to convey the right information to medical professionals and the ‘head to toe’ ABCs. We were joined by a small number of other parents and had the opportunity to share. Illy was relatable and gave great practical advice.

My partner and I did one of the workshops prior to the birth of our first child. As a soon to be parent I wanted to learn how to identify sickness that requires medical attention while distinguishing between something less severe. The workshop addressed both of these and was a time investment which will either save a life or countless hours at the hospital waiting to be seen for something minor which did not require a trip in the first place.

Thanks heaps Illy, It was such a good course! You have really nailed the balance of not making it so scary!

Thank you again for yesterday! I got the email, thank you! I think having the background knowledge for me was helpful and really cemented what I know and then obviously related it to kids but i think people who have no knowledge would really empower them.

The Sick Sense was an invaluable experience! I particularly enjoyed learning more about CPR and choking for babies, it gave me practical tools and knowledge that i now feel confident using in emergencies. Ilana was fantastic - her expertise and clear teaching style made everything easy to understand. Highly recommend this workshop to any parent or caregiver! Thanks again! It was so great.

Thank you so much for such a beneficial workshop! As a new mum it isn’t always easy to navigate what is normal, what is a concern, what needs to be monitored and when you need to take immediate action. I wanted to feel more confident to be able to make informed decisions and the course does just that! All of the foundations from breathing, rashes, choking and CPR were covered and i now feel more at ease to know what to do for my son.Since completing the course I have already used Illy’s assessment method and feel much more confident and in control. I would definitely recommend the workshop if you want to know what to do when your child is sick, what are the key red flags to look out for, what can be monitored at home and the dreaded situation to do in a choking situation. Thanks for making it interactive so that we really took the information in and thanks for lunch too!

Thank you for being a voice of reason and knowledge. I’ve been able to think more rationally. I love how you said about trusting your sick sense. It really has really brought me back down and helped me reconnect to my intuition.

I highly recommend Ilana from the Sick Sense. We attended her workshop ahead of our first baby where we found her workshop very practical and informative. We agreed it was very worthwhile building knowledge and tools to support us navgiate unavoidable sickness. Ilana is extremely knowledgeable with over 13 years experience as a paediatric nurse. Her workshop was interactive where she made us feel at ease with answering all of our questions. This workshop is a must have for parents!

The Sick Sense workshop is a must for any parents. Being confident in caring for and monitoring your sick child is invaluable. Completing the workshop has helped me shift anxieties I had about my children becoming unwell and I found the resources provided fantastic. Highly recommend.
