As a mom of eight and grandma of ten, I know the joy of raising kids — and the heartache when a child isn’t feeling their best. Whether it’s eczema, tummy aches, mood swings, anxiety, or trouble focusing, it can be exhausting trying to figure out what’s going on.
When one of my children struggled with emotional regulation issues, and later my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 48, I began searching for real solutions. That search led me to discover the powerful connection between the gut, the brain, and the immune system — and it changed our lives.
My Approach
Today, I work with families to address the root cause of common childhood conditions by starting with gut health.
Why the gut? Because:
80% of the immune system lives there
90% of serotonin — the “feel-good” brain chemical — is made there
Disruption in the gut microbiome can trigger eczema, allergies, constipation, mood issues, ADHD, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, and more

Healing isn’t about perfection
It’s about small, sustainable changes. In my own home, that means nourishing meals (and yes, gluten-free, refined sugar-free treats!) that kids actually enjoy. It means supporting the whole child — their body, mind, and emotional well-being — without overwhelm or guilt.
Your child’s current challenges don’t define their future. With the right nutrition and lifestyle support, their body can do incredible things — and I’d be honored to guide you on that journey.
Your Child’s Best Health Starts from the Inside Out
Take the Gut Check Quiz for Kids — a quick, eye-opening quiz to discover if your child’s gut health could be at the root of their symptoms, and learn the first 3 steps to start improving it.
By the end, you’ll know whether your child could benefit from a personalized gut-healing plan — and how I can help you make that happen.
