Supporting Your Child’s Health from Birth to Adolescence
Every child is unique, and their health needs can change as they grow. We offer supportive, individualized naturopathic care for infants, children, and teens — from everyday wellness and nutrition to common childhood concerns and ongoing health needs. We will partner with you and your child as your child grows, with attention to physical development, nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and overall health.
Our goal is to create a comfortable, welcoming space where children, teens, and parents feel heard, respected, and supported. We recognize that there is no single way to be healthy, learn, communicate, or experience the world.
Well-Child Visits
Routine visits to check in on your child’s growth, development, nutrition, and overall health. We can also answer questions and provide guidance as your child reaches new stages. We offer age-appropriate physical examinations and laboratory testing when clinically indicated, helping us better understand your child’s health and support appropriate care.
Support for Common Childhood Illnesses
Care for concerns such as ear infections, sore throats, colds, coughs, eczema, and common skin concerns. Naturopathic doctors in BC have prescribing authority for certain medications and can provide treatment when appropriate.
Nutrition & Supplement Guidance
Practical, individualized nutrition advice for growing children, including guidance around nutrients, supplements, picky eating, and changing nutritional needs. We also offer education and guidance as your baby begins exploring foods, including questions about introducing solids, nutrition, and building healthy eating habits.
Allergies & Sensitivities
Assessment and support when allergies or sensitivities may be contributing to your child’s symptoms, with an individualized approach based on their history and clinical presentation. We offer environmental allergy testing.
Sleep & Behaviour Support
A supportive space to explore concerns around sleep, behaviour, routines, emotional regulation, and other challenges that can affect your child and the whole family.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Care
We welcome neurodivergent children and teens, including those with ADHD, autism, learning differences, and other forms of neurodiversity. Our approach is centred on understanding the individual rather than trying to make them fit a particular mould. We consider each child’s strengths, needs, communication style, sensory experiences, routines, sleep, nutrition, and overall wellbeing. We aim to create a judgment-free and supportive environment where children and families can feel comfortable being themselves. Care is individualized and may include support with nutrition, sleep, stress, emotional wellbeing, attention, and other health concerns.
Support Through the Teen Years
The preteen and teenage years bring a lot of changes. We provide a welcoming, confidential space for teens to learn how to talk about their health and ask questions. Support may include topics of hormonal changes, menstrual health, contraception and birth control, nutrition, mental wellness, neurodivergent care, and other adolescent health concerns. We work together with parents and teens, while respecting the growing independence, privacy, and individual needs of young people as as required by the privacy laws of BC.
Whether you have a specific concern or simply want support keeping your child healthy as they grow, we’re here to help.
