Caring for Babies, Kids, & Teens
The foundations of health are laid in childhood. I am therefore committed to researching and sharing the best ways to care for infants, children, and adolescents. I promote healthy foundations through nutrition, fitness, community involvement, and fun. By being proactive and preventive from day one, I increase the chances of my young clients growing into strong, vital, and healthy adults.
After completing four years of post-doctoral training in integrative pediatrics, I’ve gathered a wealth of insights on how to help kiddos get through both acute and chronic ailments such as colds and flus, ear infections, eczema, asthma, allergies, digestive complaints, food intolerances, and mental/emotional imbalances.
Hysteria-Free Vaccination
By considering family health history, current health, and disease risk factors, we will work together to brainstorm a vaccine schedule that fits your child’s individual needs without jeopardizing the health of others. We strive to find a balance between minimizing the risk of adverse effects and maximizing your child’s protection against serious illness.
I’m here to help you find the vaccine schedule right for your child.
I don’t get awkward when your teenager does.
Adolescence is a time of growth, self-discovery, existential questioning, and developing a new mind-body awareness. Often these changes occur so quickly that not even the teenager can understand them.
Research suggests that fewer than 25% of teenagers have an adult that they trust and feel they can talk to about their sexual health. A consultant can therefore be a valuable resource and ally for a young adult. Yet tweens and teens are often reluctant to go to an office decorated with teddy bears: they want to talk to a professional who will spare them the lecture that sounds like an after school special or a scare tactic. That’s why I stay real with adolescent patients, answering their questions and coaching them on smart choices through a harm reduction model of care. I meet teenagers at every stage of development to help make the transition into adulthood smoother, safer, and happier.
Healthy kids are happy kids.
Let’s take your child’s health to the next level.
