Working with Children and Teens
Children are exposed to many more environmental toxins than in previous generations and that can be extremely challenging to navigate as a parent. As a parent myself, I care deeply about giving my children the best possible health advantage and I bring that passion to my practice when working with your children and teens.
We all want what’s best for our children. It can be a delicate balance between “just letting them be a kid” and trying to teach them the tools of nutrition and well-being they need so they feel their best physically AND emotionally.
A PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN TO THRIVE & GROW
INTO THE BEST VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES
I want to support you in every way possible so they can thrive and grow into the best version of themselves. I also want this for them so that YOU can thrive and grow into the best parent you want to be – free from frustration and exhaustion and filled with love, confidence, and understanding.
Many children are suffering from chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, and symptoms that are either diagnosed, undiagnosed, or most commonly misdiagnosed. This comes with unnecessary medications that can often do more harm than good. Or perhaps even masking the root causes of the symptoms/illness, and therefore will never truly go away.
In virtual or in-person sessions, we will examine diet, routines, and practices to build consistent daily routines to support your child’s gut, emotional, and mental health. In this 12 week program, weekly support sessions will include looking at or making any changes to the given protocol, and movement, nervous system support exercises and/or Reiki.
For these reasons, it is CRITICAL for our children to have a well-balanced, whole food diet. It is crucial for our children to have practices, routines, and rituals that support health and healing by grounding, detoxifying, building immunity, and supporting emotions.
Through our work together, I will help you incorporate all of these practices that are personalized to your child’s needs. We will dive deep into the physical and emotional history to better understand the root causes and restore your child’s vitality.
By providing manageable steps, we will lessen the overwhelm you may feel as we work toward your child’s goals in a fun, sustainable way to make necessary adjustments, establish new routines, and create healing rituals.
Pediatric Functional Medicine Program
Depending on age, children may not be able to verbalize how they are feeling. By incorporating creative activities, children tend to express themselves in ways that will give more insight into what they are feeling that they cannot put into words.
I will empower parents with hands-on healing and movement techniques to support the child’s healing journey throughout the program and beyond.
Everyone in the family will benefit from our work together! Healing and improvements happen more quickly when parents implement the protocol including all of the tools, practices, and information received in our work together for the whole family.
