Yes I do work with children and teenagers. In fact, I love to work with young people.
This is how I got started in naturopathy. My own daughter was a preschooler (30 odd years ago) she had a repeated cough, cold and a runny nose. I’d taken her to the doctor numerous times and ended up feeling disillusioned as antibiotics were repeatedly the treatment that I was offered.
So, I delved into what natural remedies I could use which included homeopathy, dietary modification, herbal medicine, flower essences amongst other things. I
learnt iridology (our health potentials and weaknesses are reflected in our iris) and this opened up to studying naturopathy and herbal medicine in 1994.

How do you help teenagers & why work with a naturopath?
The early teens are a great time to start educating your child on the importance of healthy eating, (and why we need to include adequate protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates for a growing body).
It can be helpful for someone else (other than the parent) to talk to them about the need for creating a healthy work/school/ life balance. I can support you by explaining to them the need for adequate sleep, exercise, why certain foods may be depleting them, how certain nutrients can help them with stress, a depleted immune system, digestive issues and mood imbalances.
More specifically I can help with:
✅General stress from school: including exam stress, performance anxiety, perfectionism, social anxiety
✅Fatigue and low energy from a busy work/social / sporting regime (again supporting the nervous system)
✅Hormonal imbalances causing acne, period pain, heavy periods, pre-menstrual tension
✅Nutrient depletion from taking the oral contraceptive pill, antibiotics, antiinflammatories
✅Insomnia, poor sleep habits, shock and grief
✅Creating new habits (see 21 Day Cleanse below)*
