Homeopathy for children &teenagers
Homeopathy for Babies, Children & Teenagers
I have spent much of my working life alongside children and young people, and as both a mother and a homeopath, I know how important it is to take the time to understand each child and to feel as a parent you are doing the best to support your child to thrive.
In my practice, I see babies, children and teenagers whose families are looking for a natural and individualise approach to their health and wellbeing. I have a particular interest and extensive experience working with children experiencing difficulties with digestion, sleep, anxiety, emotional regulation and self-esteem, including sensitive and neurodivergent children and young people.
I offer consultations online internationally and locally in Bristol, UK at The Family Practice on Gloucester Road.
BABIES & TODDLERS
The early months and years can bring many changes and challenges, both for babies and their parents. Families often come to me with concerns around digestion, colic, reflux, unsettled sleep and recurrent childhood illnesses.
I take time to understand your baby's individual temperament, development and experiences, as well as the wider picture of family life and medical history. I also offer joint mother and baby consultations, recognising how closely connected their wellbeing can be during these early months.
CHILDREN & TEENAGERS
Families come to me with a wide range of concerns, including digestive difficulties such as IBS and chronic constipation, recurrent infections, bedwetting, anxiety, OCD, challenging behaviour, and struggles with confidence and self-esteem.
Children don't always have the words to explain how they're feeling, and teenagers don’t always want to talk about themselves that much. One reason homeopathy can be so useful is a child doesn’t need to spend an hour talking about their anxiety in order for me to be able to help, as homeopathy takes a whole person approach by looking at the individual in their full expression - digestion, general health, energy, sleep, medical history and character, we can be guided to the underlying conditions and root causes and towards remedies to support them to grow and thrive.
As children grow into adolescence, I recognise the importance of giving young people the space to express themselves, feel heard and develop their own understanding of their health and wellbeing. I always aim to create a space where young people feel safe and heard and can share what feels comfortable.
