Hi, I’m Erin

I believe in nutrition and food as medicine is the basis of health and love being able to use herbal medicine and flower essences to address the physical and emotional factors impacting health.

I enjoy working with families at all stages, from preconception through to adulthood to improve mental health, immune health and gut health to ensure they are living their healthiest and happiest life. I'm passionate about preconception, prenatal and postpartum care to improve health for mum and bub.

Among the most sacred gifts you can give your child is the gift of health. This gift is best given by example.

ADHD in Women: Unmasking the Challenges

ADHD in women is often underdiagnosed due to the subtle presentation of symptoms. The same ADHD subtypes of inattentive, hyperactive and combined still occur but can look different. Women with ADHD can exhibit predominantly inattentive symptoms such as difficulty focusing, organising, and following through on tasks. Alternatively, women can be hyperactive, but it is more commonly a hyperactivity of the mind, not the body. This can manifest in women who are constantly on the go and juggling many things to stay stimulated. Impulsivity may present as interrupting or saying things without thinking, seeming to have no filter at times.

The brain's development begins very early in pregnancy, even before a woman misses her first period. During this critical window, the neural tube, the precursor to the brain and spinal cord, forms and closes. This early stage is highly susceptible to factors that can influence a baby's neurodevelopment. By taking a proactive approach to preconception care, you can create the ideal conditions for your baby's brain development right from the very beginning. Remember, a healthy pregnancy starts well before conception, and the choices you make today can have a lasting impact on your child's future.

Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of heavy metals due to their developing organs and systems.
