When something feels off with your child, you want answers — and someone who truly listens.
Whether your child has a diagnosis like ADHD, autism, PANS or PANDAS — or you just know something isn’t right and no one has helped — we’re here. We look at the whole child: nutrition, gut, immune health, environment, and nervous system, together. And we walk alongside your whole family.
Pediatric care at The Nourishing Tree is grounded in bio-individual assessment and thoughtful, whole-child support.
Children’s health concerns are rarely one-dimensional. Nutrition status, digestion, immune function, environment, and daily stressors all influence how a child grows, learns, and functions. Our role is to help families understand these layers and develop a plan that supports the child’s unique physiology.

Working With Families
Pediatric care is collaborative and family-centered.
Parents are supported in understanding options, interpreting information, and making decisions that feel sustainable for their child and household. Guidance is provided without pressure, urgency, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
When appropriate, we coordinate alongside pediatricians and other providers.
How to Begin
Pediatric care begins with an initial clinical consultation to review the child’s history, current concerns, and appropriate next steps.
This care is not a replacement for medical treatment. Naturopathic nutrition support is provided as part of an integrative, collaborative approach.
She meets you where you are and tailors care in a way that is approachable and not overwhelming.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What ages do you work with? A: We care for infants, children, and teens — and support is always shaped around your child's developmental stage and your family's life.
Q: What kinds of concerns do families come to you for? A: Families often come to us when something feels off — patterns affecting their child's development, behavior, digestion, immune health, or mood and regulation. Some children have a diagnosis like autism, ADHD, PANS, or PANDAS; many don't. Either way, we care for the whole child in front of us, not a label.
Q: Do you work with children who have autism, ADHD, PANS, or PANDAS? A: Yes, absolutely. We work with children who have these diagnoses, as well as kids whose challenges are more complex or don't fit neatly into any single box. A diagnosis is helpful context — it's never the whole story of your child.
Q: How do you approach pediatric care? A: Thoughtfully, and always individualized to your child. We look at the whole picture — nutrition, gut health, immune function, environment, and nervous system — and build a plan guided by careful assessment and what's developmentally right for them. We move at a pace that supports your child rather than overwhelms them, and we adjust as they grow and respond.
Q: What role do I play as a parent? A: A central one. You know your child best, and we build care around your family's real life — your routines, your bandwidth, what's actually doable at home. Our goal is lasting change your family can sustain, not a rigid program that adds stress.
Q: Does pediatric care include nervous system support? A: It can, when it's helpful for your child. Nervous-system-informed approaches are offered gently as supportive tools — always optional, and always introduced based on your child's readiness and your family's comfort.
Q: Are supplements or dietary changes always required? A: No. Recommendations are personalized to your child and may include nutritional guidance, supplements, or other supportive strategies when they make sense. Nothing is one-size-fits-all, and everything is adjusted based on how your child responds.
Q: Do you replace my child's doctor or therapies? A: Not at all. We work alongside your child's medical care, school services, and therapies — never in place of them. We're happy to collaborate with your existing providers whenever it helps.
Q: Are visits in person or virtual? A: Care is virtual, so you can do it from the comfort of home. When lab work is needed, most can be done with an at-home kit or a quick local draw — easy to fit around family life.
Q: How do we know if this is a good fit for my child? A: It starts with a consultation. It's a relaxed conversation where we get to understand your child's history and what's been going on, and help you see whether this is the right support for your family — and what the next step looks like. There's no pressure; just clarity.
Q: What does pediatric care cost? A: Because every child's needs are different, the investment depends on the testing and level of support that's right for your family. Most families invest a few thousand dollars over the course of care, including labs. We know that's a real decision for any family, so we'll walk you through exactly what your child's plan involves — and what it costs — on your consultation, with no surprises and no pressure.
