Some families seek care when a child’s development, regulation, or overall resilience feels complex or difficult to navigate. Pediatric care here considers the child within the context of the family system, with attention to physiological, developmental, and regulatory patterns over time.
Some children arrive with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, PANS, or PANDAS; others do not. Diagnoses are considered as context rather than defining identity, with care guided by the individual child and family system.
​
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: Care is offered for infants, children, and adolescents. Support is always tailored to developmental stage and family context.
Q: What types of concerns do families typically seek care for? A: Families often seek support for complex or ongoing patterns affecting development, behavior, digestion, immunity, or regulation. Some children carry diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, PANS, or PANDAS, while others do not. Care is not organized around labels, but around the individual child and family system.
Q: Do you work with children who have autism, ADHD, PANS, or PANDAS? A: Yes. Pediatric care may include children with these diagnoses, as well as children whose presentations are more complex or do not fit neatly into a single category. Diagnoses are considered as context rather than as defining identity.
Q: How is pediatric care approached? A: Care is thoughtful and individualized. Recommendations are guided by careful assessment, developmental appropriateness, and attention to both physiological and nervous system considerations. Support is paced to avoid overwhelm and adapted over time.
Q: What role do parents play in care? A: Parents are an essential part of the care process. Guidance is provided with consideration for the family system, capacity, and daily realities. The goal is to support sustainable changes rather than short-term interventions.
Q: Does pediatric care include nervous system support? A: When appropriate, nervous system–informed approaches may be incorporated as supportive elements of care. These are always optional and introduced based on the child’s readiness and family preference.
Q: Are supplements or dietary changes always required? A: No. Recommendations are individualized and may include nutritional guidance, supplementation, or other supportive strategies when appropriate. Care is not protocol-driven and is adjusted based on response and tolerance.
Q: Do you replace my child’s medical provider or therapies? A: No. Pediatric care here does not replace medical care, educational services, or therapeutic support. Collaboration with existing providers is welcomed when appropriate.
Q: Are visits in person or virtual? A: Care is provided virtually. Most lab work, when indicated, can be completed at home or through local lab draw centers.
Q: How do we know if pediatric care here is a good fit? A: Care begins with a consultation. This allows space to understand your child’s history, current concerns, and whether care here would be appropriate at this time.
