Does this sound familiar?

Many parents come to us feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start when their child is struggling.

Their child may be:

  • Struggling to get to sleep or stay asleep
  • Waking tired, irritable or dysregulated
  • Having frequent meltdowns
  • Showing signs of hyperactivity or poor focus
  • Reacting to foods or food chemicals
  • Eating a very limited range of foods
  • Dealing with unexplained symptoms that affect daily life

If this feels familiar, Mary can help you take the next step with a plan tailored to your child.

Mary’s approach

Every child is different, and so is the reason behind their symptoms.

Mary takes the time to understand your child’s individual presentation, including their health history, diet, sleep, behaviour patterns and potential triggers.

Depending on your child’s needs, she may explore food chemical sensitivities, sensory eating, nutritional gaps, digestive factors, sleep support and other contributing health issues.

Her goal is to help parents make sense of what may be contributing to their child’s symptoms and create a practical, personalised plan.

What to expect in your appointment

During your consultation, Mary will:

  • discuss your child’s symptoms and your main concerns
  • review health history, diet and behaviour patterns
  • identify possible contributing factors
  • explain what may be worth addressing first
  • develop a personalised treatment plan where appropriate

Your child’s treatment plan may include:

  • dietary strategies and food swaps
  • targeted nutritional or herbal support where appropriate
  • sleep and nervous system support
  • functional testing where clinically relevant
  • simple, realistic changes that work for your family
