About the Clinic

The Hybrid Clinic

The last year has really changed my outlook on my work and family balance. I realized that I wasn’t balancing things very well at all.

Hindsight is a very powerful tool, and looking back I can now see what a terrible job I was doing trying to manage the juggle.

I was rushing from dropping my own kids off to childcare and school, and rushing through traffic to meet yours at the clinic for appointments. All while wasting time each day commuting.

Making the transition to consult from home via telehealth has allowed me to prioritize my time for what I love the most, being present for my own family and practicing as a children’s health naturopath.

When the 2020 lockdowns came and I needed to consult from home, I was genuinely surprised by not only how effective telehealth appointments were, but also that I saw no negative impacts to treatment outcomes or the relationships I was able to build with families.

I found that a lot of parents preferred telehealth and phone consults. It completely eliminated the need to manage feeding and nap schedules around appointment times, missing school, and no one lost time traveling to and from the clinic.

We’re now able to submit prescriptions online, and supplements are posted directly from the supplier to your home.

I’ll never forget the all-encompassing fear of having a child with a chronic disease. Now that I can look back on our journey I know that there’s nothing I did that caused my baby to be sick. I can now see what I did right, and the incredible impact it had on his health as he grew.

As a result of their own experiences throughout parenthood and adolescence, our naturopaths have developed a clinical focus with a strong interest in the health of children and their families. With nutritional and herbal medicine, we’re able to complement mainstream medicine – it doesn’t have to be one way or the other.

As parents, we’re all doing the best that we can with the knowledge and resources that we have available to us at the time. The goal of the Nurture Children’s Health clinic is to share our naturopathic knowledge with evidence-based herbal and nutritional medicine to support the growth and development of kids who need a little bit of extra assistance.
