Cultivating daily habits and routines so your child can continue to thrive.
Programs For Children
I work with parents to uncover their child’s unique issues through functional lab testing and nutrition while helping them overcome the behavioral component that picky eating and sensory issues bring.
When I work with kids the 3 things I focus on are:
Breaking through and transforming resistant food behavior so you can enjoy family meals together.
Identifying additional healing opportunities through functional lab tests to make healthy eating even easier for the rest of their life. (Calming the nervous system so it becomes a positive cycle.)
Cultivating daily habits and routines so your child can continue to thrive

2 — New: Building Resilience
Building resilience in your child's gut is at the core of 'Growing Up Resilient,' a unique program designed to empower children on the autism spectrum.
My approach spans three vital phases. In the first phase, we meet your child where they are, focusing on building gut resilience with their current diet. This ensures a foundation rooted in their familiar foods. The second phase involves tailored assessments to identify nuanced health needs. Concurrently, we expand their food repertoire, ensuring a nutrient-rich, diverse diet. The third phase brings together all elements, leveraging the insights gained to create a holistic plan for your child's well-being. By prioritizing gut health, we aim to fortify resilience and bring lasting balance to their unique needs.
