  • I have a confession: I used to have social phobi I have a confession: I used to have social phobia. Yes. Me. The person who can’t stop posting reels. The one who gets paid to speak in front of people. The one who talks incessantly at social gatherings. It’s true. I used to glow beet red and keep my eyes glued to my cue cards during speeches at school. I remember dripping with sweat when I entered my new school in grade 5. Why do you care? Because I know there are a bunch of you out there thinking your kid might never learn to : -Control their impulses. -Make friends. -Sleep through the night. -Sit through a meal. Newsflash! Kids can change. Wanna know what gets them on their way? A few small wins. Yes, that’s it. That’s what gets us all to where we need to be. I didn’t stand up and make a speech one day and suddenly become confident. I started by talking to a few people at a party. By smiling and nodding at people in class. By asking my professors questions rather than hoping I’d figure it out later. YOU are able to tackle your kids' ADHD symptoms just like I tackled my social phobia - one step at a time... 1. Providing balanced, optimal nutrition (yes, it IS a bit different for ADHD than the general population) 2. Providing high-quality, personalized supplements and plant remedies to tackle hyperactivity and inattention 3. Providing a home environment with structure, connection, and autonomy to maximize their abilities to organize, cooperate, and build independence. But how will you learn to do this slowly and consistently without getting overwhelmed? In my new group program "Thriving With ADHD"! A group program that provides: Just the facts: what foods, supplements, and lifestyle habits can impact ADHD Clear solutions: exactly how to tackle the culprits. No fluff. This 10-Week program includes: - 10 pre-recorded modules. - Weekly group coaching calls to talk you through the rough patches, and build accountability, and connection. -Online support throughout the process so you're never left hanging! 🔥Check out the details on my site (link in bio) and DM me to get on the waitlist - we start in September!
    😑 Supplementing for ADHD often doesn’t get yo 😑 Supplementing for ADHD often doesn’t get you the results you hoped for…much like this chalk kit I bought for my kids 😝 ❓ How many times have you bought a supplement for ADHD that someone told you is “the lifechanger” or “a miracle”? 🤔 Was is a miracle? 👉There are 2 things I want you to know about supplements for ADHD: 1. They can have amazing effects on focus, hyperactivity, sleep, and even anxiety. 2. The vitamins that will help your child are VERY specific to your child. There is a combination out there that will likely have a very significant impact on their behaviour - but - to get there faster, you need someone to help you figure out which supplements are likely needed based on their symptoms, health history, and current diet. For example, restless legs at night can indicate Iron or Magnesium deficiency - a health pro can tell you whether Iron or Mg is lacking in the diet, point you to a high quality supplement, and give you tips to maximize effect - like taking Iron away from high Calcium foods/supplements and with Vitamin C foods/supplements. So, you have 3 options when taking the natural approach with ADHD: 1. Trial and error with supplements - potentially never finding a good combo. 2. Spend hours of your precious time each week researching to find out what combo is best for your kid based on their symptoms, health history, and current diet. 3. Speak to a health pro (that’s me!) about how to best use supplements as part of your holistic ADHD plan. 🌟 If you want to stop wasting hard-earned money and start seeing a calmer, more focused child sooner, book your free assessment call today!

    If you only give your ADHD’er 2 supplements - ch If you only give your ADHD’er 2 supplements - choose these ones! 1. High-quality multivitamin - why? Most kids aren’t getting 100% of every single vitamin and mineral and this is a great safety net. Choose a high-quality brand from a health food store - ask for one without chemical fillers and with bioavailable forms of nutrients. 2. High-quality Omega 3 - Most kids - and I mean like 99% of kids - are not getting enough Omega 3 and it’s crucial for cognitive function. A high-quality (purity tested) brand with at least 1000mg Omega 3 (preferably with twice as much EPA as DHA) is another great safety net - PLUS many parents report an improvement in focus and emotional regulation after 2-3 months of consistent Omega 3 use.

    👉What I hear most from ADHD parents looking for 👉What I hear most from ADHD parents looking for natural solutions: 1. I know diet impacts mental health but I don’t know who or what to believe - there’s too much information and a lot of it is conflicting. 2. I don’t know where to start - there are too many changes I need to make and it’s overwhelming. 3. Our schedule is all over the place and my only free time is evenings and weekends. What I’m doing to help: 1. Providing a small group program with just the facts, based on science(!), about what dietary and lifestyle factors can influence ADHD, so you don’t need to weed through the “woo” and get the best information. 2. Presenting it in 10 small, pre-recorded chunks (20-30 minutes) that are easy to handle one week at a time and in an order that yields the most success for my private coaching clients. 3. Providing online communication support and weekly group coaching calls to provide troubleshooting, brainstorming, and accountability, so you’re not left to figure things out on your own if something is confusing or challenging along with way. *BONUS* I’ll go through your kid’s current diet and daily routine and make personalized recommendations so you know EXACTLY which parts of the program you need to be focusing on most and with the most commitment. 🤔 Is this the program for you? 👉If you’re a DIY parent of an ADHD’er who’s spending A LOT of time searching for solutions and need someone to cut to the chase so you can stop wasting time online. 👉Your kid is not super picky and implementing food changes won’t be a huge challenge (some food preferences and aversions are always present, but very picky eaters likely need more 1-on-1 support) 👉You know there are natural solutions to minimize ADHD sumptoms. You believe in it. You’re committed to taking holistic approach, and you feed off the energy of a group. 🔥 If a no-nonsense, fact-based ADHD group program is what you’re looking for, DM me to get on the waitlist for “Thriving With ADHD”. Early bird pricing will be $199 USD and registration begins soon! Program begins late September 2022. PS - know another parent who would benefit from this program? Help them out by sharing this post with them 😊
    ADHD Success Story! Yvonne is a hard-working mama ADHD Success Story! Yvonne is a hard-working mama who runs a company with her husband. She has a daughter and a son who struggles with ADHD. She was tired of wasting time. Tired of scrolling Instagram and Google for “ADHD solutions” and trying to weed through the nonsense to get to the straight facts. Tired of trying to formulate a plan on her own, without support. Yvonne signed up for my ADHD Roadmap To Relief Package and took back control of her time. She got a clear, step-by-step guide for tackling the dietary and lifestyle factors that were impacting her son’s ADHD. She got an experienced professional to talk her through the rough patches and brainstorm ways to make this process as easy as possible. She got results. They didn’t come overnight, but she saw a slow, consistent change for the better over the course of 3 months and she’s now empowered with the knowledge that she has some control over her son’s health. That’s what it’s about folks. Empowering parents to make positive, impactful changes in their kids’ lives so they can reach their full potential.
