Introducing Sister Lilian
Sister Lilian, a qualified nurse, midwife, reflexologist and natural health practitioner with 30 years' experience, is South Africa's leading pregnancy and parenting advisor. She is well-known in both the maternity professional world as well as amongst consumers in South Africa. One of her trademarks is her compassion and innovation ability. She further believes strongly in the approach of ‘first do no harm' and has operated under the banner of the slogan with nature, knowledge and experience throughout her career.
Sister Lilian did her original nursing degree through the University of Stellenbosch from 1975 to 1979 and trained as a midwife in Johannesburg in 1980. She is also a qualified reflexologist and has done a course in Ayurvedic Medicine. Sister Lilian's speciality since 1988 has been in the fields of pregnancy, birth, childcare and parenting although she has always retained an active interest in health generally. It was the realisation that to address the health challenges of older people, one needed to ideally start at the beginning and rather keep babies and children as well as possible, in as natural a way as possible, that led to her activities being centred on pregnancy, birth and children. When her own children were on the way, this added to her determination to find the gentlest yet most effective health and parenting options. Her children are now adults happily pursuing their lives and careers. Sister Lilian furthermore implicitly believes that involved parenting, core family values and quality emotional care of babies and children helps give birth to respectful, compassionate, considerate and successful communities and countries. Sister Lilian went into private nursing practice some years after qualifying, teaching antenatal classes and advising mothers after birth on all aspects about their babies and their own adjustment. She soon started practicing her midwifery skills in the field of natural birth. As the need arose amongst her clients, she developed a variety of courses like Home Emergency Care for Families, Nanny & Caregiver Training and Natural Health for the Whole Family.
Sister Lilian has had four books published in South Africa, edited and adapted a Canadian parenting book for the South African market and contributed to a renowned handbook for midwives. She is currently busy with work on a Baby & Child Nutrition and Recipe book. Her current books are Sister Lilian's Babycare Companion and Sister Lilian's Pregnancy and Birth Companion. These books are available in Afrikaans as well and were also published in Romania and Colombia in 2008. Sister Lilian's books are considered the bible of pregnancy and parenting by readers and she is well-known on radio and TV and in parenting magazines.
Sister Lilian started the Sister Lilian Centre® in Pretoria in 1988 from where all activities are coordinated. Sister Lilian does workshops, training courses and consultancy work throughout South Africa. A national and international email pregnancy and parenting advisory service is offered by the Sister Lilian Centre®, which also runs one of the most renowned Midwifery conferences in the southern hemisphere, called Sensitive Midwifery Symposium®. The Centre publishes a quarterly magazine for professionals called Sensitive Midwifery Magazine.
The Sister Lilian® brand is increasingly known in other parts of the world as Sister Lilian has been asked to contribute to or be keynote speaker in other countries, with active support of the midwifery movement in Argentina being paramount. Many South Africans emigrate and remain loyal supporters of Sister Lilian in their new countries. Furthermore, a range of homeopathic remedies was launched in 2009 by Vital Health Foods under the Sister Lilian trademark due to the equity of the brand in the marketplace.
Sister Lilian believes in going the extra mile to find responsible, commonsense, natural solutions that really work and are kind to both parents and babies. She says that her burning desire is to help parents enjoy the experience and to value the importance to the world of growing physically and emotionally healthy little ones. Sister Lilian's preferred therapeutic system is Homeopathy, which she has self-studied, worked with and taught over many years. Sister Lilian adopts an approach of integrating conventional and complementary health throughout her activities and believes implicitly in empowering parents to become active partners in the health of their families and to rely more on instinct and commonsense during pregnancy, labour and while raising their children. She trains and presents workshops for health workers and the public about a workable, innovative approach to health, pregnancy, birth and parenting throughout South Africa. She has a further special interest in the field of women's health. In July 2009, a range of homeopathic remedies was launched under the brand name Sister Lilian Remedies to give life to Sister Lilian's dream of having totally safe, effective, self-help for common pregnancy, baby, child and family health problems.
Sister Lilian is married to Alan Paramor, who is also joint owner of the Sister Lilian Centre. They reside in Pretoria and although the Centre is based there too, Sister Lilian and the business work throughout the country. She is the proud mother of two ‘big babies', a daughter and son both in the field of engineering and an ‘extra' daughter who is mother of two, making Sister Lilian a proud, honorary grandmother! The Sister Lilian Centre developed with her children and she feels exceptionally privileged that she could spend so much time with them as they grew up.
