Advertising Policy

I accept discreet advertisements and/or 'recommended by ...' links at the bottom of posts on The Awakened Parent blog. I will only work with companies that I feel are ethical and work in some way within the ethos of The Awakened Parent, and monies earned from advertising is ring-fenced to be spent solely on workshops, books and events for me to use to further inform my work supporting parents, both on the blog and in person. Interested advertisers will find the 'Contact Me' button on the drop-down menu below the 'About The Awakened Parent' page at the top of the blog. Wordpress occasionally put its own adverts on the blog for some viewers. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that they like to put SMA adverts on The Awakened Parent. I do not endorse the advertising of formula manufacturers, as per the World Health Organisation Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes I apologise to all readers for the adverts' intrusion.
