I see a lot of babies and children of all ages in my clinic with eczema and poor immunity.

T- Helper polarisation can predispose children to atopic conditions and poor immunity. Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a re-occuring, non-infectious, inflammatory skin condition affecting 1 in 3 New Zealanders at some stage throughout their lives.

Common Immunological conditions include:

• Eczema
• Upper respiratory complaints
• Allergy, Hayfever, Sinusitis,
• Ear Infections, Coughs and Colds.

With good nutrition and nutrients, and in some cases allergy tests I can help your child to wellness.

Childhood is a time of immense social and intellectual development. Ensuring healthy brain development in this vital stage of life can set the stage for healthy cognitive function, memory and learning well into adulthood.

Issues with brain function and learning during childhood can lead to longer term social, behavioural, or development issues, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, (ADHD) or autism.

If your child has a learning disability or behaviour problem or any other disorder affecting the brain, then I can help you by complimenting your existing treatments with dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments and key natural supplements.

Gastrointestinal function is fundamental to a child's health and linked to immune regulation, neurological development and growth.

Common presentations include:

• Diarrhoea
• Constipation
• Gut flora disruption

With nutrients and dietary advice I can help your child to have a healthy digestive system.

This is an area I love as I know I can make a difference to both the mother and the baby. Often babies present with eczema, colic or sleep problems.

By adjusting the mother's diet and with gentle herbs I can give you and your baby a good night's sleep. Most often the mother will take the medication and the baby will absorb it through her breast milk.

If you have any concerns about your baby then give me a call and we can discuss ways in which I can help you.
