Naturopathic Pediatrics

Optimizing health for children with medical needs.

Within our society, chronic illness is on the rise. Conditions such as autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, autism, mood disorders, eczema, and allergies don’t simply occur overnight. There are layers of environmental triggers that lead up to the development of chronic illness, and these triggers can begin as early as in utero. For this reason, we strongly believe in intervening early and taking proactive measures to optimize the health of the pregnancy and the child, in hopes that we can play our part in minimizing the rise in chronic illness and provide for healthy, happy, thriving children.

In Naturopathic Medicine, we believe that our body has an innate ability to heal, and in order to achieve healing, obstacles must be removed. We believe in using the least invasive therapies first. We believe in taking a preventative approach. These principles so beautifully describe how we think about treating our children.

Whether you are looking for help in treating your child’s complex autoimmune disorder or if you are simply looking for help preventing illnesses and optimizing your child’s development, we would love to partner with you. As parents, there are countless decisions regarding our children’s health and development, and we would be honored to answer your questions, relieve some of that burden, and join you on this mission to create healthy and happy children.
