Pediatric & Family Functional Wellness

Support for Families Navigating Complex Pediatric Symptoms

When your child’s health changes and you’re left searching for answers, you deserve guidance that looks at the whole picture — not just isolated symptoms.

This Path Is for Parents Who…

  • Have noticed sudden or gradual changes in their child

  • Are navigating gut, immune, behavioral, or energy concerns

  • Feel overwhelmed by conflicting opinions or incomplete answers

  • Want to understand why symptoms may be showing up

  • Are ready for calm, informed support — without panic or pressure

A Family-Centered, Systems-Based Approach

Children don’t exist in isolation — their health reflects the interaction between their body systems, environment, and daily stressors.

My work with families focuses on understanding how factors like:

  • Digestion and nutrient absorption

  • Immune and inflammatory load

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Metabolic and energy patterns

…may be contributing to what you’re seeing — and how to support your child thoughtfully.

Imagine If:

  • Your child wakes up energized and ready to take on the day.

  • You finally feel confident in managing their health.

  • Your family has a clear, personalized plan that works.

  • Your child is thriving—not just surviving—and you can finally see their personality shining through again. 

  • You feel empowered knowing exactly what steps to take to support their health and happiness.

  • Your home feels calmer and more connected because everyone is finally on the same page.
