We had the good fortune of connecting with Daria Robinson-Ernest and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Daria, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I never knew my true hidden super-power, until I was forced to find it.
And I never knew how to help my clients until I discovered how to help myself.
11 Years ago, I was high on life, happily married, mother of an eight year old, expecting my second son.
When my second son was born however, he was diagnosed with a life-long condition, Cerebral Palsy. This shook my world upside down. Physically, mentally and emotionally I was totally off balance and sinking fast.
I took two months off work to explore different techniques that might improve his function. Some days were very demanding and lonely but I was on a mission to help him the best way I knew how. Through this, I discovered neuromovement, a simple modality that helps to calm the nerves and overcome pain and limitation allowing for a gentler, more natural movement and functioning of the body for him and additionally for myself.
This situation guided me to practice and master this modality. When I practiced lessons on myself, I began to recover from my uncomfortable situation of restless nights and begun to sleep blissfully. This, in turn, radically improved my mobility and function. Experiencing these improvements from limitation to possibility is my reason for wanting to give others hope, where it may be lost.
Living with someone who has a lifelong condition actually saved my life. It changed my outlook and guided me to live life differently. In fact, today I wholeheartedly appreciate life, waking up each day feeling vibrant, free from pain and full of energy. I am happy, and so is my son.
And now, from what I learned helping my son and myself, I have dedicated my professional life to helping others using this modality.
In 2015, Connections for Life, the Parent Company was founded with a focus on Children living with Special Needs and their Parents. Connections for Life’s, main goal is to create accessibility to families to improve the quality of life of their child living with Special Needs.
Glow Holistic Experiences later evolved catering to women 45 and over, who are actively seeking to reduce current aches, mitigate the challenges that are presented with aging and upgrade their physical, emotional and overall well-being so they can continue to live vibrantly regardless of age.
Both companies have been able to redefine healing, pain relief and transcending limitations in a natural and safe way using gentle movement to access the amazing powers of the brain.

As an owner of a business, you must believe in yourself wholeheartedly. This will be your cushioning when you get those blows that force you to stumble.
Every business has challenges, however these challenges faced along they way, must simply be used as stepping stones, to get you closer to your dreams and desires.
I learned as well that your business must continue to evolve with the clients needs to remain relevant and top of mind.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am a nature lover, so anything that involves the ocean or the lush greenery is a must do for me.
In St.Lucia I will highly recommend visiting the picturesque town of Soufriere, home to the Majestic Pitons and Sulphur Springs. The Sulphur springs provide you with a cleansing & rejuvenating mud bath. It will leave you most rejuvenated with youthful skin, feeling and looking years younger.
One of the must do places to stop when you visit the west coast is Plas Kasav, where you can purchase warm cassava bread is in the village of Canaries.
There are so many other interesting villages like Laborie & Choiseul that one should visit.
We have waterfalls in all nooks and crannies to visit as well, including the Latille Falls in Micoud.
Just being near these natural settings totally uplifts your mood and fosters peace of mind.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to shout out my FAMIlY!!! In particular my husband Anthony who has and continues to be my rock, helping and supporting me in growing this business.
