RESTORE YOUR CHILD

You’re exhausted.

It’s devastating to watch your child struggle, day after day.

You desperately want to restore and heal your child, naturally.

Let’s be honest - it’s not ‘just’ about restoring your child. You need to restore yourself and your family. When your child suffers, you suffer.

When you spend days, weeks and months, managing a complex child, it can become completely exhausting, and it feels like you’re constantly walking on egg shells.

Whether it’s emotional dysregulation, behavioural outbursts, rage, biting, tics, twitches, obsessive tendencies, hyperactivity, impulsitivity, urinary incontinence - whatever it may be, these presentations can become incredibly limiting and debilitating to your child, and your family.

ADHD

Take ADHD for example - it is the most common mental health condition. It affects far more people than anxiety and depression, yet we don’t talk about natural ways to manage, and thrive, with it. Research shows ADHD affects up to 9% of children and over 4% of adults, and this number is on the rise, every year.

The list of possible ADHD causes includes genetic susceptibility, neural, dietary, and environmental factors can create a neurobiology susceptibility, that causes reduced dopamine activity and low serotonin activity in the brain, triggering hyperactivity.

Even if you address those factors, and you eat completely organic food, you go off grid and grow your own veggies, cut off all WIFI and screens, encourage outside play, and do all the ‘right’ things, it’s often not sustainable. It can become completely exhausting for the whole family, and sometimes it won’t move the needle. You won’t necessarily see changes with hyperactivity, impulsitivity, social interactions, academic achievements, etc. The reason is, there can be a number of potential hidden reasons, including nutritional deficiencies (omega-(3 fats, B vitamins, iron and vitamin D), side effects to medications or medical interventions, thyroid dysfunction, leaky gut (research shows those with ADHD are at greater risk of intestinal permeability, which can increase immune reactivity and food intolerances), chemicals in foods, heavy metal exposure, etc.

I use a combination of natural medicine modalities to address and clear environmental toxins, trauma (including medically induced), genetic predispositions, nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory markers, methylation issues, food and chemical sensitivities, allergic tendencies, mould exposure, post-viral presentations, environmental triggers, etc. Homeopathy is a natural and safe system of medicine that can unblock some of the signfigiant layers of complex children.

PANDAS

Another example is PANS or PANDAS, which is Peadiatric Acute onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS).

In the case of PANDAS, a specific bacteria, streptococcus, has triggered an abnormal immune response. Usually a strep infection would affect the throat or skin, and it causes symptoms related to the area of the body there is an infection. But in PANDAS, the strep infection can affect the brain and cause inflammation, which can present with sudden symptoms, including:

● OCD such as lining up toys
● Tics and twitches
● Anxiety and fears, including separation anxiety and fears of dirt and germs
● Urinary problems including urinary incontinence, bedwetting or unusual toileting behaviours
● Emotional dysregulation, anger outbursts, rage, defiant behaviours and also self harming

PANDAS symptoms can occur suddenly and unusually, and may be a clear sign of a post-viral infection, or sometimes the illness (such as a fever or sore throat) went unnoticed.

Many children also present with other issues including gut issues, allergic tendencies, histamine intolerances, candida and elevated environmental toxins, which can all further exacerbate inflammation caused by PANDAS.

NATURAL TREATMENT

Every child is unique, which is why every treatment strategy is unique.

You need a natural medicine practitioner that can pinpoint the contributing factors, and uncover the factors that may be blocking or slowing down healing, including sluggish bowels, poor detoxification pathways and food/environmental triggers such as gluten, dairy, preservatives and histamine-rich foods.

A child’s initial consultations is comprehensive and typically takes up to 90 minutes. We discuss the presenting complaints, personal health history, family history, a dietary analysis lifestyle assessment and recommendation/review of recent pathology or functional testing. We also discuss all areas of mental and emotional spheres of health including fears, triggers, trauma, grief, likes/dislikes, food aversions, sleep patterns, dreams - anything that relates to your child’s whole-health. After your consultation you receive a personalised treatment plan, which includes nutritional recommendations, homeopathic prescriptions and lifestyle tweaks.

You have regular follow-up consultations (spaced out monthly) so we can continually review changes and progress, and create momentum.

This program isn’t ‘just’ about your child - it’s also about you. It’s also designed to give you the tools to support your child’s health and deepen your relationship with your child. This is why this program offers both 1:1 consultation and personalised support, as well as the benefit of bonus trainings and resources, so you can become truly empowered and supported through the journey.
