What causes eczema in children?

Eczema often involves the gut and immune system. Food reactions, microbiome imbalance, nutrient gaps and a weakened skin barrier can all play a role; addressing these areas naturally can reduce flare-ups.

Why is my child always sick?

Frequent colds or infections can mean the immune system or gut needs support. Improving digestion, nutrient status and inflammation often helps children become more resilient and recover faster.

Can gut health affect allergies?

Yes — much of the immune system sits in the gut, so an imbalanced microbiome can make allergies, hayfever and sensitivities worse. Supporting gut health often reduces allergic reactions over time.

What helps constipation in children naturally?

Constipation is commonly linked to low fibre, poor hydration, food triggers or microbiome imbalance. Gentle changes like more fibre-rich foods, adequate fluids, child-safe probiotics and simple lifestyle tweaks usually help quickly.

Are natural treatments safe for children?

Yes — when chosen and dosed appropriately. I use gentle, evidence-based, age-appropriate options tailored to each child's symptoms and needs to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Not always. Some families start with simple diet and lifestyle changes and see improvements. Others prefer testing (food sensitivities, stool microbiome, nutrient checks) for quicker clarity and a targeted plan.

Do you work with picky eaters?

Absolutely. I provide practical, kid-friendly recipes, lunchbox ideas and gentle strategies to expand diet without battles, so nutrition improves in a realistic, sustainable way.

How do I fix my child's gut after antibiotics?

Antibiotics can upset the gut and show as tummy aches, constipation or loose stools. Extra fibre, good hydration and a child-safe probiotic often help; if symptoms persist, targeted gut support can restore balance fully.

Kid’s Naturopath & Nutritionist

Natural Support for Immunity, Allergies & Gut Health

Since 2013, I’ve supported children to better health with natural medicines, diet and simple testing.

If your child is always reacting to something — rashes that flare for no reason, tummy pain after meals, constant colds, blocked noses or bowel troubles — you’re probably searching for answers that actually make sense. And you want options that don’t rely on medications unless they’re absolutely necessary.

I work with children every day who struggle with:

eczema
asthma & allergies
constipation
store tummies
always sick with colds and flu

My approach is simple, realistic and focused on getting to the root of the problem so your child can feel better naturally — without overwhelm, complicated diets or confusing advice.

Why These Issues Keep Coming Back

Many common childhood concerns are linked to a few key areas:

Gut and immune balance
Food triggers and allergies
Inflammation and nutrient deficiencies
Skin barrier and digestive imbalance

When we support these foundations, children often experience fewer flare-ups, stronger immunity and more comfortable digestion.

I help strengthen their immunity through:
- Gut-focused immune care
- Targeted nutrients for immune strength
- Gentle anti-viral and anti-inflammatory natural medicines

If your child has eczema, rashes or ongoing skin irritation, I support families with:
- Identifying hidden food triggers
- Gut-focused strategies to calm inflammation
- Strengthening the skin barrier naturally
- Safe, child-friendly supplements

Parents often notice improvements once we address the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Food reactions can leave kids uncomfortable and parents overwhelmed. I help you:
- Understand possible allergy or intolerance triggers
- Learn which foods to include or reduce

- Reduce flare-ups with gentle, natural anti-inflammatory support
With the right guidance, children often become less reactive and more resilient.
A child’s gut affects mood, immunity, energy, sleep, skin and digestion.
Constipation, tummy pain, foul-smelling stools or picky eating often signal that their gut needs support.
I provide:
- A personalised gut-healing plan
- Kid-friendly meals that are easy to prepare
- School lunchbox ideas and supermarket swaps
- Safe, natural remedies to ease constipation
- Steps to restore healthy digestion long-term
Improving gut health is often the key to a happier, more balanced child.

Why functional testing helps

These tests give answers to the “why” behind symptoms. When we know what’s driving your child’s eczema, allergies or tummy problems, we can create a individualised natural treatment plan that will work for your child.

FAQs

Eczema often begins in the gut and immune system. Food intolerances, microbiome imbalance, nutrient gaps and a weakened skin barrier can all contribute. Supporting these areas naturally helps reduce flare-ups and irritation.
If your child catches every bug, it may mean their immune system is run down or their gut isn’t working at its best. Once we support digestion, nutrient balance and inflammation, kids usually become more resilient
Yes. A large portion of the immune system sits in the gut, so imbalances can lead to allergies, hayfever, eczema and sensitivities. Improving gut health often reduces allergic reactions over time.
Yes — I only use gentle, evidence-based, child-friendly options tailored to your child’s age and symptoms.
Yes — constipation can be supported through:
- Fibre variety
- Magnesium-rich foods
- Hydration
- Specialised probiotics
- Improving gut motility
We also look for underlying causes like food intolerances, microbiome imbalance, or nervous system stress.

This depends on your child’s age and level of awareness. In most cases, the first appointment is with the parent only. This allows us to talk openly about your child’s challenges and gives the session our full focus. I gather most of the information from parents, so your child doesn’t usually need to be involved at this stage.
If we feel it would be helpful — for example, to encourage healthy changes or build confidence — your child is welcome to join any appointment. Most families start with parents only.
Parents often notice:
- Tummy pain or bloating
- Constipation or diarrhoea
- Eczema or rashes
- Behavioural changes after meals
- Brain fog or irritability
  Identifying trigger foods can dramatically improve mood and digestion.
Not always. Some families start with simple diet and lifestyle changes. Others prefer testing for clarity. Both options work.
Antibiotics can upset the gut and lead to tummy aches, constipation, loose stools or flare-ups. Adding fibre-rich foods, plenty of water and a child-safe probiotic can help things settle. If symptoms keep returning, a gut-focused plan can support full recovery.
Absolutely. I provide kid-friendly recipes, realistic food ideas and ways to upgrade nutrition without overwhelm or battles.
