Are you at a loss on how to help your son or daughter?

It can be so painful to watch your son or daughter struggle with their mental health.

A child that is struggling with anxiety, depression and behavior issues can be the challenge of your life. You want to find a way to help them heal, to thrive and be happy.

I completely understand, I was there with my son when he was a teenager. I tried everything I knew to try, and nothing was working. I know what it's like when your home becomes a battle ground. When every day you are waiting on pins and needles to see what you will be dealing with that day. When hoping for the best and anticipating the worst becomes your everyday routine.

This takes a huge toll on you and anyone else living in the home.

Everything changed for us when we found a holistic approach that was focused on truly healing the body first.

We were so focused on the behavior and consequences. Everyone was telling us to be firm, don't put up with disrespect. Tough love, some even telling us to kick him out of the house.

I couldn't bring myself to do that but I will say there were times I felt like maybe I needed to leave.

Of course we tried therapist, three I think, but he was resistant and wouldn't go. I don't think that's unusual with kids, especially teenagers but I didn't know what else to do.

I'm telling you this because I want you to know I understand the emotional toll it can take on you and on others in the home. I also want to tell you that it was a tough road but we found a healing protocol that works.

A nutrition based, gut healing protocol that focused on healing his body first.

You see, there are so many nutrients involved in emotional health. Magnesium, B vitamins, Vitamin D just to name a few. These nutrients along with healthy gut bacteria are needed to make things like Serotonin, GABA and Dopamine. And when things are off and your child's stress goes up their adrenaline and cortisol go up putting them in a state of fight or flight (or freeze).

This state can be chronic for them, they don't even know they are in it and they don't know how to change it.

Finding out what's going on in there can be very eye opening. Testing the gut health is one way to gather some much-needed information. Is there an overgrowth of bad bacteria in there? If so, what kind? And what is the state of good bacteria in the gut?

When this balance gets back to a more normal state, and the body is getting more of the nutrients it needs, things start to turn around.

I want to help you get your child back to their healthiest self.

I will take you and your child through a healing protocol, making changes and adding in support where needed.

We will:

Focus on getting more of the nutrients that the body needs and less of what may be causing harm.
Gut testing will give us an insight into what's going on in there. Optional testing for food sensitivities is available.
Supplement recommendations to help support the body while we work to get it healed.
Support to get through the ups and downs and help you understand how to navigate this change.
Help you to see things from a different perspective so you can meet your child where they are now.
Separate the child from the behavior and give them what they really need.

I am here for your (and your child's) transformation. I'm your support system.

Of course there are emotional struggles that need to heal as well. This is surely a part of it and I can help give you guidance and support through it.

This was a challenge for me I will admit. At the time I wanted him to do exactly what I thought he needed to do. I was defensive and not willing to back down.

But when I started seeing him for who he was in that moment, not who I thought he should be, I started to give him (and me) grace.

Sometimes it takes an outside person to bring clarity to a situation.

Now, you may be thinking, how do I get my child to eat better? Or maybe you feel like they won't give up the things that are bad for them, it's all they eat. I understand that kids can be resistant and to be honest nobody likes to be pushed outside their comfort zone.

However, I do believe that deep down your child wants to feel better. They want to feel joy and be out of pain, emotionally and physically.

I can guide you to start with changes that are doable. Small consistent changes can make a big difference. Sometimes we just need to remove the roadblocks that we put up. Stop resisting and start embracing change.

What I'm offering does mean making changes. Changes for your child, for you and for your home.

Isn't that exactly what you want?

I want to close this out by telling you a bit about where we ended up. My son is now an adult, he is physically and emotionally feeling much better. He has moved out of our home and is doing well. He still has some ups and downs but not the crushing anxiety or depression he had before. His temper has calmed and he is looking forward to his future.

And I'm so grateful that we still have our relationship intact, probably better than it has ever been.

I want that for you too.

I want you to get through this time and come out stronger and better for it.

I want your child to heal and feel better in their body. There is a bright future waiting for them.
