Child Healthcare Navigation & Advocacy
We take a whole health approach, providing comprehensive support that addresses your child’s physical, emotional, and social needs. We start by thoroughly evaluating your child’s symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment plan. From there, we educate you on the condition, ensure you understand test results and recommended therapies, and equip you with informed questions for your child’s providers. Importantly, we also focus on your child’s overall wellbeing.
We specialize in Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and Childhood Allergies.
Our services include:
- Symptom review and condition education
- Interpretation of lab results and medical tests
- Preparation for doctor appointments
- Scheduling and coordination of care
- In-person advocacy with providers
- Recommendations for supportive therapies (nutrition, exercise, mental health, etc.)
- Counseling and resources for the entire family
By addressing the whole child, we empower families to navigate the complexities of chronic illness and become active partners in their child’s healthcare journey. With our personalized assistance, you can ensure your child receives the high-quality, integrative care they need to thrive.
504 Accommodation Support for Students
As a former elementary school teacher in Orange County, I have a deep understanding of the educational system and the importance of securing necessary 504 accommodations for students. We start with an intake process to thoroughly understand your child’s diagnosis and discuss their comprehensive health and educational needs, including physical, emotional, nutritional, environmental, and academic factors. When needed, we can collaborate directly with your child’s pediatrician or other specialists. I will also educate you on effective advocacy strategies to ensure your child receives the support they require from both medical and school staff when necessary.
Whole Health Workshops for Children
We offer a variety of whole health workshops that nurture the mind, body, and spirit of children and adolescents, including yoga, vision board creation, peer support groups, and nature connection activities.
