Understanding the why. Simplifying the how. Supporting the journey.
Every child is unique—and so is their path to healing.
This approach helps families turn complex information into a practical, step-by-step roadmap to healing.
Many families reach out unsure where to start—or because they’ve tried to make changes on their own but felt overwhelmed, confused, or discouraged by conflicting advice. Here, families find a guide and ally who brings clarity and direction to the process, breaking it into manageable steps that fit real life.
Foundations: Nutrition, Gut & Metabolic Support
The first step for most families begins with nutrition and digestion. Picky eating, food sensitivities, and gut health are often connected to how a child feels and functions. This stage focuses on identifying what nourishes the body best and creating simple, sustainable changes that support healing.
Lowering the Load: Environment, Detox & Immune Regulation
Small, consistent changes add up. The focus is on simplifying everyday exposures—home, products, food, and water—while introducing gentle, age-appropriate detox supports when appropriate. Lifestyle and rhythm-based strategies help reduce inflammation and support immune balance.
Clarity & Coordination: Diagnostics, Education & Implementation
The “why” matters—and so does making it doable at home. Families receive guidance to understand potential labs and assessments, organize results, and translate recommendations into a clear, step-by-step plan that can be sustained over time.
Who This Is For
- Families seeking a functional-medicine-informed approach to autism
- Parents navigating ADHD, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, PANS/PANDAS, picky eating, gut issues, or other neurodevelopmental concerns — even without a formal diagnosis

- Parents who want help implementing protocols and building sustainable routines
- Families who appreciate a clear, collaborative, and supportive approach
