"I’ve been wanting a pediatrician like Dr. Ellie since the moment I had my first kid! I want a doctor who leans toward natural, holistic options, but is also knowledgeable in conventional medicine in the case that it is needed. Dr. Ellie is that perfect blend. I’ve had doctors in the past who were open to more natural options, but they weren’t going to bring them to me. I felt overwhelmed and lacked confidence because of it. Dr. Ellie takes the lead in trying natural solutions and it’s such a relief for me. She is also very professional, while also being very warm and welcoming. My kids love her and want to play doctor when we go home from a visit. She makes going to the doctor a fun thing, not a stressful one. Dr. Ellie is also very quick to respond when I reach out, which I appreciate. I also find her model of business to be very helpful. She is very accessible and I don’t have to worry about how much it will cost me if I need to take my kids in multiple times in the same month. I highly recommend Dr. Ellie and Middle Path!" K.F.

A lot of parents are telling me this winter feels harder — and they’re not wrong.

I break this down in a calm, practical way on my podcast so you can worry less and understand more.

Before you reach for cough syrup, there’s something that often works even better 🍯

For kids over one year old, honey is one of my favorite evidence-based remedies for cough. It helps soothe the throat, reduce nighttime coughing, and improve sleep — for kids and parents.

Simple doesn’t mean ineffective.

If you want to feel more confident about natural remedies — what’s safe, what actually helps, and when natural options are enough — I put together a free Natural Medicine Guide for families.

This is one of those topics where Google tends to make things worse, not better.
There’s a big difference between a busy immune system and a problematic one, and most kids fall solidly in the “normal but exhausting” category.
If you want to hear how I think through this as a pediatrician — calmly, without fear — I talk about it more on my podcast.

If your child has already had multiple colds this winter, take a breath 🤍

For most young kids, frequent viral illnesses are actually normal — even up to 10–11 per year, especially if they’re in daycare or school.

What matters more than how often a child gets sick is the pattern:
• Are they growing?
• Do they recover fully between illnesses?
• Are there any true red flags?

This is one of the most common questions parents ask me, and it’s nuanced — not something Google handles very well.

🎧 If you want to hear how I think through this calmly, without fear, I talk about it more in my podcast episode on understanding the common cold and other respiratory viruses.

Horse lessons are progressing. Sometimes you have to get into a rhythm to see how far you’ve come. Thanks for the lessons. Photos taken by my husband who just finished his first test roll of 35mm developing from home. Not bad for the first attempt
