Children's Health
As a naturopath I also work in children’s health and digestive wellness, I bring both professional expertise and a deep personal understanding to my work. With years of experience, including supporting families through the NDIS, I offer tailored, holistic strategies to address your child’s unique needs, promoting better gut health and overall well-being. As a mum of three adult daughters who grew up with me studying and practicing naturopathy, I understand the importance of practical, family-friendly solutions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on empowering parents to nurture their child’s health naturally. Together, we can create a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.
Some of the childhood and adolescent conditions that I work with are:-
- Digestive disorders
- Food intolerances
- Anxiety
- Respiratory infections - Ear, nose and throat
- Asthma
- Poor immunity – constantly suffering from colds
- Fussy eaters – especially loving white foods
- Energy levels that are out of whack
- Sleep - Nightmares or Night terrors
- ADHD, ADD, ASD
- Exam Stress
- Skin – eczema, peri-oral dermatitis, warts, pimples, acne or cystic acne
Most childhood illnesses can be food and product related, as eating, drinking or using the wrong product causes inflammation and symptoms to worsen.
When working with children and teenagers I like to prescribe my FOOD FIT - Hair Bio Compatibility Food and Product Testing Program. This hair sample test, tests most supermarket foods and products which includes a long list of fruit, vegetables, breads, dairy products, gluten and gluten free products along with washing powders, personal care products and so much more. There is now over 900 samples tested and we can even add to this list if necessary.
I find Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) works really well for children as well as it is a simple clean hair sample that is required. This is a minimum 3 month program and I do see really amazing results.
I can use herbal medicines as well, in drop dose form (add to water or juice) so that your child gets the best of their herbal medicine formula or I can prescribe in capsule form.
Supplementation is used initially as your child may be unable to absorb the nutrients properly due to 'leaky gut' or gut dysbiosis (microbiome imbalances.)
I can also incorporate my Body Balance Treatments into their time working with me and this is based on Emotions and Metaphysical Kinesiology. If your child can lay still on my treatment table for 30 to 45 minutes I can work with them on a more age appropriate Body Balance Treatment. If this is of interest, please let me know as I'm happy to assist.
