I want to provide trusted information you can use to be an even better parent then you already are. I want you to feel confident that you are doing everything you can to help your children reach their fullest potential.<\/p>\n<p>And most importantly, I want you to have <strong><em>FUN <\/em><\/strong>doing it!<\/p>\n<p>In my holistic pediatric practice, <a href=\"whole-family-wellness\">Whole Family Wellness<\/a>, I have helped 1000s of kids get to the root causes of their health concerns and helped their parents understand how to heal their children from the inside out using an integrative pediatric approach. These health concerns have ranged from frequent colds, ear infections, asthma, and eczema; to autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and autoimmune illnesses.<\/p>\n<p>The need is huge, and my practice quickly became totally full, and has been closed to new patients for years. There just simply weren\u2019t enough hours in the day, or days in the week, for me to see all the kids who needed to be seen, while at the same time keep my sanity and be able to be the mama and wife that I wanted to be. It was heartbreaking for me to know how many kids and families were in need and could benefit from a truly integrative approach to their health. Thankfully I have some amazing practice partners seeing many of those patients \u2013 Kandice Stellmon, nutrition consultant extraordinaire, and Dr. Tracy Trolan, holistic pediatrician sensation!<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-frame-wrapper alignleft\"><div class=\"custom-frame-inner-wrapper\"><div class=\"custom-frame-padding\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-289\" src=\"https:\/\/healthykidshappykids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2013SongJohnsonWilderRanch045-300.jpg\" alt=\"Kid\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vps37072.inmotionhosting.com\/~healt472\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2013SongJohnsonWilderRanch045-300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vps37072.inmotionhosting.com\/~healt472\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2013SongJohnsonWilderRanch045-300-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\nBut I was reaching my breaking point.

I was on autopilot, losing my joy and creativity, feeling like no matter what I did, there was still more I had to do \u2013 more kids in need than I could ever serve, more awesome activities I should be doing with my kids, more time I should be spending with my husband. Something had to give.<\/p>\n<p>Then I had my Aha moment! I <strong><em>COULD<\/em><\/strong> serve more kids and families!
