The Healing of The 1lb Baby






Marie Delanote was born in West Flanders, Belgium and grew up with her mother and three sisters. Her early years were dedicated to music, and she completed a masters degree in music/double bass at the ‘Lemmensinstituut’, Royal College of Music in Belgium. In addition to these academic feats, from a very early age, she had a fascination in spiritual practices and engaged in extensive study in areas such as Oracle Cards, Witchcraft, Entities, Palmistry, Reiki and more.

She met her husband in 2002 at the tender age of 23 and 18 months later she was expecting their first child, Jack, who was born in 2005. They relocated from Antwerp to Southern Belgium to a quiet, rural farming community and she ran a B&B whilst holding down a teaching job in local schools. Children 2 and 3 followed in quick succession, Adam and Orla-Jane.

In 2011 she relocated to the UK with her family. This was a huge adventure waiting to happen and these events were to create the incredible story that is now a best selling book “The Healing Of The 1lb Baby” published in November 2014.

The book captured the attention of the media in the UK and USA recalling the amazing story of a little girl born on the day of her 24th week of gestation and her subsequent fight for life.


The bond between mother and child is one without equal in the history of sentient life.

It encompasses avenues of connection which, to this day, have yet to be fully understood. But for Marie Delanote, the outermost shrouds of that bond were briefly lifted when her daughter Elouisa entered our world following a mere twenty-four-week pregnancy. The infant weighed little more than a pound, and in the ensuing fight for survival, hidden spiritual ties between Marie and Elouisa became increasingly manifest. Together they uncovered the chakras, mental triggers, and resultant physical events that once led to the crippling nightmare of premature birth, but would now serve as the only tools by which they could survive and outlast the shared threat to their lives.

The Healing of the 1lb Baby is the true story of that which lies beyond the simple sight of man; it is the true story of physical effects wrought by unbridled energies; but above all else, it is the true story of a mother and daughter who lifted one another from the very depths of mortality in order to claim a second chance at life.
