Both of my boys were our guiding light to optimal health and responsible for our family’s off beaten path adventures.

When they were toddlers, they had a long list of symptoms no one could find answers for, and a mixed bag of ‘diagnosis’ between them. After one full year, we realized we had lost enough time struggling in the conventional system, said good bye and started to blaze our own trail. The boys never responded well to prescriptions or pharmaceuticals, so we quickly found a team of natural practitioners who understood holistic health, on the same page as our family. I cannot stress the importance enough of this point, it is so crucial to find those that resonate with your child, as well as your entire family.

Children are here to mirror ourselves, challenge us, push us out of comfort zones and guide us to work on our own issues, on ALL levels. If mommy has any health issues, it is high risk for baby, since they inherit the microbiome through birth and breastmilk. My boys were the first generation with food allergies and demonstrated this all the way back to grandma, as each family member did the testing. Fascinating.

Over 15 years later, I now have read over 100s of books/blogs/articles on all aspects of holistic wellness, movement, detox, biomedical interventions, supplementation, herbs, cleanses, nutrition, growth and development, as I explored these with my own children as they grew. I became a registered holistic nutritionist, a yoga and meditation instructor, a family coach and a detox specialist, next herbalist.

Your child wants to be seen, wants to be heard in their way, they have special gifts to share- I see this clearly with each family I meet. There is ALWAYS something you can do for your child to start to feel better, complex ones may require detective work to find all the puzzle pieces- and priceless when you see progress.
