Paediatric Naturopath for Children’s Health
I am a paediatric naturopath and herbalist supporting children with PANS, tics, ADHD, gut and immune dysregulation, sleep challenges and eczema. I work with families across Sydney and online Australia-wide, using herbal medicine, nutrition and homeopathy to support nervous system regulation, gut–brain health and long-term resilience in growing children.
You’re doing everything you can to help your child feel better
When symptoms keep returning no matter what you try, it can feel exhausting and confusing. You may start to wonder if you are missing something, or if anyone truly understands what your child is going through. You are not imagining it, and you are not overreacting. Often, something deeper is out of balance, and your child deserves care that looks beyond the surface.
A Gentle Explanation
Many common childhood concerns such as tummy aches, eczema, sleep struggles, anxiety and frequent infections are often connected to gut imbalance, immune stress and nervous system overload. When we gently support these foundations, the body can begin to regulate, settle and heal.
Through personalised care using herbal medicine, nutrition and homeopathy, I work to restore balance so your child can feel calmer, more comfortable and more like themselves again.
Questions Many Parents Ask
Why does my child often have tummy aches or bloating after eating?
How can I help my child sleep better without medication?
Can gut imbalances contribute to anxiety, tics or behaviour changes?
Why is my child frequently sick or slow to recover?
Is naturopathic care safe and suitable for children?
You’ve Tried Everything… And You’re Still Looking for Answers
You’ve done so much already.
Cutting out dairy, trying probiotics, changing foods, searching for answers, yet something still does not feel quite right.
Maybe your child isn’t sleeping well. Maybe their tummy often hurts, or their emotions feel too big for their little body. Deep down, you sense something is out of balance, even if it’s hard to explain.
Hi, I’m Ayelet, a naturopath and herbalist specialising in children’s health. I help parents gently uncover what may be driving their child’s symptoms so they can begin to feel well again, calmer, nourished and more resilient.
Whether your child is struggling with gut issues, immunity, anxiety, sleep, or something harder to define, I create personalised plans using herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy and gentle lifestyle support to strengthen their whole health and nervous system balance.
I’m here to help you get to the root cause of your child’s health concerns, with gentle, natural care that supports their whole being.
You're not alone in this.
Most of the families I work with have already tried quite a bit before coming here.
GP visits, elimination diets, supplements from the chemist, or just waiting it out- doing all the right things, yet still feeling like something is missing.
My role is to bring clarity, compassion and direction, so you can finally understand why your child isn’t thriving and take the next steps with confidence.
Stories of healing
Every family’s journey is unique. Here are some stories from parents who’ve walked this path.
“I highly recommend Ayelet, she assissted with resolving my children's molluscum contagiosum. She provided a comprehensive approach combining nutrition and natural products, resulting in a successful resolution of the issue. Throughout the process, Ayelet consistently demonstrated a caring and positive approach, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way.”
— Shirley Manor
“My son developed a sudden onset of tics and OCD (only 4 years of age) and I was so distressed as to what to do. I saw a neurologist who explained to me what it was and she suggested I speak to a psychologist to help him with stress and also look at his diet. I still was lost, and a friend of mine recommended I see Ayelet. After speaking to her for the very first time, I instantly felt hope. Hope I didn’t have before. I went through the journey with Ayelet to find out more about my son’s gut health and her extensive knowledge and experience with tics helped us quickly establish the best ways to help him. Once I implemented all of Ayelet’s recommendations I finally started to see that hope turn to results and my son’s condition is now well managed and very minimal. I’m forever grateful to her. Ayelet is professional, warm and kind and extremely generous with her time and attention. The reports that she would prepare after each session were incredibly thorough and helpful. I feel very blessed to have come across her in such a difficult time, and for her help with my son. Words can’t express my full gratitude.”
— Eden Nasr
“Ayelet has been absolutely amazing in treating me and my 3 children. She goes above and beyond to ask the right questions and work out the best treatment plan. She is always so responsive and we have already seen results after only a short period of time. Can’t recommend her enough!”
— Nadine Saad
My Child’s Story of Healing
When my own child began showing signs of anxiety, emotional outbursts, poor focus, and sudden changes in behaviour, I felt lost.
He was only eating white foods such as toast, pasta, banana, and plain rice crackers, refusing everything else. Then came the tics, the regression, and obsessive thoughts that seemed to appear overnight.
We faced endless cycles of infections, sleep struggles, and sensory overwhelm, and every conventional answer felt temporary.
Through nutrition, herbal medicine, and gentle supplements, I began supporting the root causes by calming inflammation, restoring the gut–brain connection, and protecting the brain from the constant stress that kept it in overdrive.
Slowly, I watched the light return to his eyes and a sense of calm settle back into our home.
Deep down, I knew something was not quite right, even when no one else seemed concerned.
If you are reading this, I suspect you know that feeling too.
Say Goodbye to Confusion and Hello to Confidence
As a children’s naturopath, I help parents move from confusion to clarity with personalised, evidence-informed care.
If you’ve been feeling unsure where to start, you’re not alone. So many parents come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure what their child’s body is really trying to tell them.
→ You’ve seen your child struggle with tummy aches, skin flares, sleep issues or big emotions, and you’re tired of being told “they’ll grow out of it.”
→ You’ve tried diets, supplements, or advice from well-meaning professionals, but nothing seems to make a lasting difference.
→ You’re worried about anxiety, tics, or attention issues, but you don’t want to rely on quick fixes.
→ You just want to understand what’s really happening and feel confident in how to help.
It’s time to replace worry with understanding, and confusion with clarity.
With gentle, evidence-informed care, you can feel confident that your child is finally getting the support they need to thrive.
Why choose a naturopath for your child’s health?
Children’s bodies are always trying to find balance. But when something’s out of sync, signs like gut issues, emotional overwhelm, skin flare-ups or poor sleep often get brushed off.
As a naturopath, I look beneath the surface to understand why these symptoms are showing up, and how we can gently support your child’s body to come back into balance.
Appointments for children are limited each week - book now to secure your spot.
What does a naturopathic treatment plan for children look like?
1. Initial Consultation
We’ll meet online for a 90-minute deep dive into your child’s health, exploring their symptoms, diet, sleep, development, and environment. I may suggest testing (such as microbiome or nutrient levels) to better understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
2. Follow-Up consultation
With a clearer picture, I’ll create a personalised plan using herbal remedies, nutrition, homeopathy and lifestyle guidance, all tailored to your child’s unique needs, sensitivities and your family’s preferences.
3. Ongoing Support
We’ll check in regularly to review progress, tweak the plan, and continue supporting your child’s growth and wellbeing. I’ll provide education and resources to help you feel informed and empowered as a parent.
4. Confidence & Clarity
As symptoms settle and your child becomes more vibrant, you’ll feel more in control and confident in supporting their health naturally. Together, we’ll build resilience in their immune system, nervous system and gut–brain connection.
What changes do families usually notice with naturopathic care.
When we begin to support the whole child gently and naturally, with individualised care, beautiful shifts begin to unfold

What childhood concerns can naturopathy help with?
As a naturopath specialising in children’s health, I support kids through a wide range of physical, emotional, and behavioural challenges. Some concerns are clear and consistent, while others are more complex or harder to define, but every child’s story offers important clues about what their body truly needs to thrive.
Here are some of the concerns I most often work with:
Immune support – lingering colds, coughs, ear infections, allergies, asthma tendencies, PANS
Tummy troubles – bloating, constipation, reflux, tummy aches, food sensitivities, fussy or selective eating
Skin concerns – eczema, rashes, acne, hives
Big feelings & behaviour – anxiety, OCD, emotional outbursts, sensory overload, clinginess, sleep struggles
Focus & learning – ADHD, difficulties with attention, hyperactivity
If your child’s challenges aren’t listed here, that’s completely okay. I work with the child in front of me, not just a label or diagnosis. Every plan is shaped around your family’s story and needs.
Support for Parents, Too
Caring for a child who isn’t thriving can feel overwhelming. You may feel like you have to hold everything together, but you do not have to walk this path alone.
I am here not only for your child, but for you, to listen, guide and support you with clarity and compassion. You will not be handed a protocol and left to figure it out. Instead, you will receive gentle, practical guidance that fits your family’s rhythm and helps you feel more confident supporting your child’s health.

Let’s chat about your child’s health - I’m here to help.
FAQs: children’s naturopathy and herbal medicine
How do you decide what treatment is best for my child?
I take a detailed case history, looking at your child’s symptoms, health history, temperament, and environment. From there, I create a personalised plan that may include herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, and lifestyle support.
How many appointments will we need?
That depends on your child’s condition and how they respond to treatment. Some children improve quickly, while others need ongoing support. We’ll discuss a plan that suits your family.
Do you offer testing?
Yes — where appropriate, I may suggest functional testing (such as microbiome or HTMA) to better understand what’s going on inside your child’s body. These tests are optional and discussed fully with you.
What kinds of conditions can you help with?
Common concerns include sleep issues, tummy troubles, food sensitivities, eczema, frequent illness, ADHD, anxiety, and behavioural changes. Every child is different, and I tailor my approach to suit your child’s unique needs.
Is it safe to use herbs or supplements for children?
Absolutely! Safety is my top priority. I use age-appropriate dosages, gentle remedies, and evidence-informed care. Everything is explained clearly, and I’ll only recommend what’s truly needed.
Do you offer support for parents too?
Yes, you’re part of the healing journey. I can offer guidance on stress, sleep, nourishment, and emotional wellbeing for parents as well.
