Welcome

Welcome to my new blog!!

I am a nurse, a life coach and a mom with a passion for supporting families to find the answers to the health and behaviour challenges of their children. I know, first hand, what a significant and life changing impact addressing the issue of food sensitivities can have on the future of a child. I have seen it in my own family and have been helping other families for 25 years.

Do you have any of these children living at your house?
  • A son who is impatient, easily frustrated, has trouble following directions and is a bully. He can’t get play dates after school and rarely gets invited to birthday parties because the other kids are afraid of him.
  • A daughter who struggles with asthma and tummy aches and is so tired some days she needs to stay home from school. She looks listless and has dark circles around her eyes despite getting lots of sleep.
  • A baby who cries incessantly despite you having tried every conceivable thing to comfort them; a baby whom you love dearly but who is, single handedly, upending your life.
  • A son who has chronic ear infections that have resulted in tubes being placed in his ears and a runny nose that won’t quit, no matter what you do. Other children won’t hold hands with him because his hands are “yucky” as he constantly wipes his irritated nose.
  • A little girl whose bladder is irritable and she often suffers from chronic bladder infections causing her to run to the bathroom frequently. She still wears pull ups at night at the age of 8 and often tugs at her underwear because “it hurts down there.”
  • A son who is very “sensitive” and easily upset by the innocent comments of peers, teachers and family. Change of any kind is often very difficult.
  • A daughter who has trouble grasping reading and the sounds of words as well as finding it difficult to follow sequential directions. She seems distracted and often has difficulty with the concept of time. Forever being asked to “hurry up”, she may also appear physically uncoordinated and her fine motor skills may also be delayed.
  • A child with asthma, allergies, autism, digestive complaints, learning disabilities or “difficult” behaviour whose life is being significantly challenged by their problems.
THESE ARE TRUE STORIES FROM THE FAMILIES I HAVE HELPED!
If you have any of these little people in your house, I offer you an invitation to check out my blog and my website regularly and to consider attending my workshop on April 2, 2009 if you live in Vancouver, B.C. Together we’ll talk about the challenges, find real life and workable solutions and share each other’s stories.
So, what will it take for you to consider the possibility that your child’s health and behaviour symptoms might be related to food?
How might your child’s future be different if you found some answers to their challenges?
How committed are you REALLY to offering your child the opportunity to realize their full potential?
