Another incredible speaker joining us at the Paediatrics in Practice Summit 💫

We’re so excited to welcome Genevieve, who will be diving into one of the most common (and often complex) presentations we see in clinic… ADHD in children.

This won’t just be theory, Genevieve will be sharing a truly integrative approach to management, combining naturopathic, nutritional and homeopathic strategies you can actually apply in practice.

Expect:
✨ A deeper understanding of ADHD beyond the label
✨ Practical, clinic-ready strategies
✨ How to individualise care across multiple modalities
✨ Support for the child, not just the symptoms

Because when it comes to ADHD, there’s never a one-size-fits-all approach, and knowing how to tailor your treatment is everything.

If you want to feel more confident supporting children with ADHD in clinic, this is one you won’t want to miss.

When it comes to supporting children with epilepsy, it’s not always about doing more… but doing the right things consistently.

These are some of my go-to lifestyle foundations I come back to in clinic time and time again:

1️⃣ Gentle movement – supporting circulation, lymphatic flow + nervous system regulation
2️⃣ Trampolining – getting kids moving, sweating + supporting elimination of things like BPA + heavy metals
3️⃣ The ocean – those negative ions can be incredibly calming for the nervous system
4️⃣ Clay play + clay baths – a simple, hands-on way to support binding + elimination pathways
5️⃣ Epsom salt baths – supporting detox pathways + relaxation

Simple, accessible, and often overlooked.
Because supporting neurological health isn’t just about supplements… it’s about creating an environment where the body can regulate, detoxify and restore.

If you’re working with children with epilepsy, these foundations matter more than you think.

I talk about functional testing in clinic all the time… but what does that actually mean?

Functional testing goes beyond a basic snapshot. It helps me investigate why something is happening, not just label the symptom.

In paediatrics especially, this matters.

Instead of guessing, we can assess:
1️⃣Microbiome + comprehensive stool analysis
2️⃣Food intolerance patterns
3️⃣Heavy metal exposure
4️⃣Organic acids (metabolic function)
5️⃣Targeted blood markers not routinely screened

These tests allow me to look at gut health, nutrient status, detox pathways, inflammation, neurological stress and immune patterns in a much more detailed way.

It’s not about ordering every test for every child.

It’s taken years of additional training and clinical experience to confidently integrate these tools into practice and use the results in a way that actually changes outcomes.

If you’re feeling stuck, going in circles, or you suspect there’s more beneath the surface… functional testing may be the missing piece.

📩 DM me to chat, or book via my website to explore whether testing is appropriate for your child.

When we think about dairy reactions in children, we often think:
❌ Rashes
❌ Eczema
❌ Behaviour changes
❌ Mucus

But one of the most common presentations I see in clinic?
👉 Chronic constipation.

For some children, reacting to casein (the protein in dairy) can:
1️⃣ Trigger gut inflammation
2️⃣ Slow motility
3️⃣Alter the microbiome
4️⃣Increase discomfort and withholding
5️⃣Impact mood and behaviour

And when a child is constipated, it doesn’t just affect their bowels, it affects sleep, regulation, appetite, learning and seizure threshold in some cases.

This isn’t about fear-mongering dairy. It’s about recognising patterns.

If your child struggles with ongoing constipation and nothing seems to work, it may be worth looking deeper at potential casein sensitivity as part of the bigger picture.

I'm so excited to welcome Margot White to the Paediatrics in Practice 2026 stage 👏

Margo will be speaking on ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), a presentation so many practitioners are seeing more of… but often feel underprepared to manage confidently.

This session isn’t just about defining ARFID.

It’s about:
✨ Understanding what’s really driving restrictive eating
✨ Differentiating ARFID from “fussy eating”
✨ Knowing when to refer and when to support
✨ Practical strategies you can implement in clinic immediately

If you work with children and families navigating complex feeding challenges, this is a must-attend session.

ARFID sits at the intersection of nutrition, neurodivergence, anxiety, sensory processing and family dynamics, and Margot brings the clarity and clinical depth this topic deserves.

This is practitioner training designed for real clinic life.

Sudden behavioural changes in children deserve careful attention…

When a child’s behaviour changes suddenly, it can leave families and clinicians feeling unsettled and searching for answers.

Conditions like PANS / PANDAS remind us that abrupt shifts such as OCD behaviours, restrictive eating, emotional volatility, or regression are not always psychological in origin. These presentations are often complex, layered, and fast-moving.

From a clinical lens, recognising patterns matters just as much as recognising symptoms. Looking beyond behaviour alone and considering immune, inflammatory, neurological, and infectious drivers is a key part of thoughtful paediatric care.

This is especially important when changes appear seemingly overnight.

If you’re a practitioner wanting to deepen your understanding of neuroimmune presentations in children, the Paediatrics in Practice Summit offers practical, evidence-informed education in a supportive, collaborative space.

📚 Learn from Lisa Moane, Paediatric Naturopath who will be sharing her clinical insights into the management of PANS/PANDAS in children
