Children & Teens Health
Your child’s symptoms are messengers, let’s uncover what their body is trying to tell us.
From toddler tummy troubles to teenage hormonal shifts, children and adolescents experience rapid growth and change. Supporting their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing with natural, evidence-based solutions can make a lasting difference in their development.
With over 30 years of experience as a Naturopath, Nutritionist and Yoga Teacher, I offer holistic care tailored to the unique needs of growing bodies and minds. Whether it’s eczema, poor immunity, behavioural challenges, fussy eating, digestive concerns or hormonal imbalances, I look deeper to find the root cause, not just manage symptoms. One of the key areas I often explore is gut health. Known as the ‘second brain,’ the gut plays a crucial role in regulating mood, focus, sleep, and immune function. When the gut-brain connection is disrupted, whether by food intolerances, microbiome imbalances or environmental triggers, it can have a ripple effect across your child’s wellbeing.
Together, we create gentle, realistic treatment plans that are age-appropriate and family-friendly, supporting your child’s healing and development through every stage. Where relevant, I offer functional testing such as Hair Mineral Analysis, Food Sensitivity Testing, and Microbiome or DNA panels to gain deeper insight into what's happening beneath the surface.

The ProcessHow it works
We begin with a comprehensive initial consultation to understand your child or teen’s health history, symptoms, environmentand lifestyle. I use a range of tools including:
-
In our first 60-minute session, we’ll dive deep into your child’s health history, cycle changes, symptoms, lifestyle and goals. You'll leave with clarity on what their body may be trying to tell you and a plan that meets them where their at.
-
If your child’s symptoms are complex or their test results haven’t offered answers, I may use advanced functional testing to uncover what’s really going on behind the scenes. This helps me tailor your child’s care with confidence, not guesswork.
-
Your child’s plan will evolve with their needs. We’ll meet for follow-up sessions to track their progress, adjust supplements or nutrition and offer support every step of the way.
-
As your child’s health improves, we’ll review what’s working, what’s next and how to maintain their results long-term. My goal is to leave you and your child feeling empowered and in control of their health, not dependent on ongoing care.
