I get asked about water filters ALL of the time! As a gut health specialist, having access to water with the chlorine, parasites, bacteria, heavy metals and fluoride removed is an absolute must.

If you're not in a position to outlay for a water filter right now, consider buying spring water to avoid some of the issues with tap water.

Visit my website to learn more about the water filers and concentrated minerals.

Gut issues in children are often overlooked by parents because they are expecting the symptoms to show up in the same way it does for adults or they think their child will tell them if they're experiencing discomfort.

What I've noticed in clinic is that kids who having lived with chronic gut problems, don't know any different. That means they are somewhat used to the pain or discomfort so they don't verbalise it but often, it shows up in other ways - behaviourly or as physical symptoms.

If your child has experiencing trouble focusing, challenges going to sleep or staying asleep, mood swings & tantrums beyond what is normal or frequently get ill, I would recommend working with a gut health practitioner to rule out gut issues.

Not all children express discomfort loudly.

Some cry softly.
Some cling a little tighter.
Some just need you more when they’re not feeling right.

In homeopathy, that matters because remedies like Pulsatilla aren’t chosen based on the illness alone - they’re chosen based on how your child experiences it.

đź’ˇ What is Pulsatilla used for in children?

Pulsatilla is a well-known homeopathic remedy often considered for highly sensitive, gentle children who:

✨ Become clingy when unwell
✨ Want constant comfort, cuddles, or reassurance
✨ Cry easily (and feel better when held)
✨ Seem emotionally “tuned in” to everything around them
✨ Don’t like being left alone

🌸 Common symptoms Pulsatilla may support:

• Colds with thick, yellow or green mucus
• Earaches (especially when they want to be held)
• Digestive upset after rich or fatty foods
• Teething with increased clinginess
• Symptoms that change frequently or don’t follow a clear pattern
• Feeling worse in warm, stuffy rooms and better in fresh air

The “Pulsatilla child”

Often described as the soft, sensitive, affectionate child, they may be:

– Deeply connected to their caregiver
– Comforted by touch, presence, and reassurance
– More emotionally expressive than other children

Why the right remedy matters

In homeopathy, two children can have the same cold…
But need completely different remedies.

Pulsatilla is only the right fit when the emotional and physical picture matches.

That’s why personalised care is key.

Statistically, most people are magnesium deficient!

I get asked about topical sprays and things a lot, I don't find they're sufficient for most people's needs - they're just a nice top up.

We're meant to get the magnesium we need from leafy greens, nuts, seeds and other whole foods but with soil depletion and chronic stress, many of us just aren't getting enough.

If you're interested in supplementing, I have a few options available on my website including gummies, drops and practitioner grade supplements.

For extra support choosing your product, feel free to reach out.

In Australia, the most common cause of iron deficiency in children is excessive milk intake.

Many toddlers are given multiple bottles of cows milk per day and the calcium competes for absorption with the iron.

It can also be very inflammatory to the gut which means that the gut is unable to absorb the nutrients it needs to function well.

I've also noticed that children who drink a lot of bottles of milk are less likely to eat good sources of iron because they're already satisfied from milk.

Iron deficiency in kids should be taken really seriously as their growing bodies need oxygen to be transported efficiently through the blood to the brain and where it needs it. Also, the underlying causes of deficiency can be really problematic for kids.

The confusing part for parents is how dramatically symptoms can very.

Sometimes they can eat tomato with no reaction, other times they take one bite and they're flushing red.

This might be because the child:

- Ate multiple histamine foods that day and their bucket is full
- They're run down or sick so more histamine is released
- The gut is irritated which means less breakdown and elimination
- Environmental exposure increases

The empowering thing here is to realise that we can do more than reduce histamine load for people who are experiencing these symptoms - we can actually work with their body to heal and improve the way their body responds.

We do this by working on the gut to heal, supporting DAO and HNMT enzymes, addressing nutrient deficiencies and nurturing the immune system.

In October this year, I'll have the privilege of taking another incredible group of women through the doula course over our unique doula training retreat weekend.

Instead of spending weeks or months completing the course with competing priorities like work and family life, you have the option to step into a dedicated weekend where your needs are completely taken care of.

Between sessions, you'll have time to integrate, rest and connect, so that you go home feeling inspired, grounded and ready to begin.

And the support doesn't end there.

You'll receive phone and email mentoring before and after completing your four supervised births.

Here's the details:

Dates: 23-25 October 2026
Where: Sunshine Coast QLD
Investment: $4500 ex GST

Flexible payment plans are available and limited.

We've been seeing some cases of reoccuring school sores in clinic so I thought I would share this protocol again.

If someone is getting school sores repeatedly or there is sharing back and forth, it's often because the virus hasn't been detoxed fully out of the body which is why we take a really holistic approach that includes sodium ascorbate, parselin and beetroot juice.

The body will always find another way to express imbalance if the root cause remains an issue. Tonsils and adenoids are part of a network of organs, so when they’re removed the burden doesn’t disappear - it redistributes.

Possible patterns:
Increased chest infections, bronchitis, asthma or asthma like symptoms including persistent cough as the reduced activity in the upper respiratory system adds more pressure to the lungs

Ongoing naal congestions, hay-fever like symptoms and sinus infections because the body is still reacting - it’s just doing it somewhere else

Increased infection susceptibility in the medium term

Allergies + skin issues like eczema, rashes and environmental allergies

Lymphatic system congestion

Gut issues

Have you thought about becoming a doula? This might be the opportunity you've been waiting for!

This course is quite unique in that it's run in a retreat style format over a long weekend, rather than taking weeks or months to get through this curriculum. We actually started running it like this at the request of several mamas who were finding it too hard to balance ongoing study with family life at home.

Instead, we focus in on one long weekend and get through all of the course curriculum WITH a tonne of good breaks and retreat style activities.

You'll be invited to participate in activities like yoga, breathwork, meditation and sound bowl healing PLUS a few added retreat bonuses in there.

When: 23-25 October
Where: Sunshine Coast Queensland
Investment: $4500 ex GST (excludes travel to Sunshine Coast)

Flexible payment plans are available, please reach out to discuss an option that suits you.

To register your interest, please visit my website and complete the EOI form. You'll receive the info pack + registration form which needs to be returned to hello@arohahealth.com.au to confirm your spot.
