Parent and teacher education

Healthy Kids Naturally provides seminars and workshops for teachers and parents on the benefits of healthy eating. The popular seminar, Optimum Nutrition for Children, explains the basics behind the major food groups, the importance and functions of vitamins and minerals and how to make healthy changes to nutritious
whole foods.

We also provide expert nutritional consultancy to school administration and tuckshops.

Classroom education

Healthy Kids Naturally provides educational classes for primary and secondary students. Our fun and interactive sessions, help explain to children the contribution that food makes to their wellbeing. We help educate children to understand the difference between nutritious whole foods and processed or junk foods, giving them the tools to make the best choices.

We are associated with local edible school garden programmes and can provide a nutritional information lesson to complement the gardening and food production aspects. It has been shown that when children grow food and understand the food production process, they are more likely to eat and enjoy fresh foods.

Healthy Kids Naturally also offers the option of personal nutritional and naturopathic consultations with our resident expert in a clinic setting. This provides a more thorough medical assessment in the treatment of disorders such as allergies, asthma, eczema, recurrent infections, behavioural problems, learning difficulties and emotional issues. As a mother of two young children, Karen understands the importance of practical and simple strategies for busy families.

“The key to successful treatment is to take a holistic look at each child’s case. I really look closely at each individual to find their own unique history and examine all the factors influencing their health and wellbeing. Through this careful assessment, I then devise a complete treatment strategy that is personalised and effective.”

Karen normally recommends a combination of dietary changes and nutritional supplements along with individually formulated herbal medicine, homoeopathy and flower essences to target specific disorders for each individual.
