Praise and Peer Review Comments for Beyond the Allergy Diagnosis

“Simone Albert’s book is beautifully written and full of practical and sage advice for parents navigating the food allergy environment. Her easy-to-follow strategies and techniques to support emotional wellbeing nest brilliantly within a neatly structured, plain-English text. This book promises to make the food allergy journey more informed, reassuring and confident for the reader.”

- Carolyn Ganzevoort, B.Ed, Dip. Couns, Couples and Family Counsellor

“Beyond the Allergy Diagnosis is a breath of fresh air, finally, someone tells you how it is, the allergy diagnosis is overwhelming and so much more than a physical condition. Allergies impact every aspect of that person’s life and have a lasting emotional impact on families, especially mums. This book should be given to parents with every allergy diagnosis. After reading Beyond the Allergy Diagnosis, it was the first time I understood I wasn’t just on a different page from my partner, he was reading a whole other book! I dealt with the diagnosis and much of my child’s care alone. Thank you Simone, for providing parents a guide to the emotional journey of allergies.”
