What a month September was!

Started with working a conference and hanging with my faves in the industry.

Watching my child graduate, leaving paediatric care after 15 years and planning for her future. Lots of tears.
Was lacking hope for a moment there, some services can be so cruel!

Thankful for laughs and fun times with my faves for my bday. Growing old is a privilege.

Before you order another test for your paediatric client… have you taken a closer look at the bloods already sitting in front of you? 👀

There can be so much valuable information hiding within standard pathology but interpreting bloods in children comes with its own nuances.

This isn’t something many of us were taught in college (I know I sure as heck wasn’t taught it).

I’ve invited the phenomenal Kelly Allan .family.naturopath to join us for our upcoming Paediatrics in Practice online masterclass, Bloods Without the Guesswork.

We’ll dive into paediatric reference ranges, what “normal” really means in context, how to interpret key markers and the patterns that can easily be overlooked.

A little something extra to make this masterclass even more useful in clinic. 👏

When you join Kelly Allan .family.naturopath for Bloods Without the Guesswork, you’ll also receive a Paediatric Blood Pathology Cheat Sheet to keep as a practical reference after the session.

Use it to refresh your memory on key markers, relationships between results, nutrient considerations and patterns that may warrant a closer look - without having to go searching through pages of old notes every time you review bloods.

Because I want these masterclasses to give you tools you can actually take back into clinic and use.

Join us online 19 October at 1pm AEDT.
Replay available.

Paediatric blood pathology can feel overwhelming - especially when the results are technically “in range”, but the clinical picture is telling you there’s more to consider.

That’s exactly why I’ve asked Kelly Allan to join us for our next Paediatrics in Practice Online Masterclass: Bloods Without the Guesswork.

Kelly will take you through a practical approach to interpreting paediatric pathology - helping you understand what key markers are telling you, which results need to be considered together, and how to interpret them in the context of the child in front of you.

The goal? Less guesswork and more confidence when reviewing bloods in clinic.

You open a child’s blood results and everything looks reasonably okay… so where do you go next?

This is something I know can feel overwhelming in practice.

You’re jumping between reference ranges, old notes and individual markers, trying to work out what actually matters for the child sitting in front of you.

And that’s exactly why I wanted Kelly Allan to teach this masterclass.

Bloods Without the Guesswork is about giving you a more systematic way to approach paediatric pathology - understanding which markers matter, how they relate to one another, when context changes the picture and when further investigation may be warranted.

Because the goal isn’t to memorise hundreds of numbers.

It’s to feel more confident thinking through the pathology.

I thought becoming a Nutritionist and life coach would change my life.
Turns out, a qualification doesn’t magically change you.
You change you. Experiences change you.

I’ve been looking back over my career lately, and it certainly hasn’t been linear.
Life coach. Clinical practice. Retail. Sales. Practitioner education. A brief stint in product development. Working with mums, kids and families.

I've WORKED!
And I’ve genuinely loved the different parts of it.
But I think one of the biggest things I’ve learnt is that we’re never really finished evolving.

For a long time, my clinical practice was the centre of my work. And I still love it.
But somewhere along the way, I realised I wanted to create a bigger ripple effect.
That’s really where Paediatrics in Practice came from.
If I can help one family in clinic, that matters enormously.

But if I can bring practitioners together, share clinical insights, create better education and help clinicians take that knowledge back into hundreds of families?
That ripple gets a whole lot bigger.

So this next chapter looks like continuing to grow Paediatrics in Practice through in-person events, online learning and whatever else it evolves into.

Because I don’t think our careers have to stay in the lane we originally chose.
And I definitely don’t think we ever reach the point where we’re done learning, changing or figuring out what comes next.

Ever looked at a child’s blood results and thought… everything is technically “in range”, but something still doesn’t add up?

This is where understanding the bigger picture becomes so important.

Rather than looking at ferritin, B12, zinc, thyroid markers or blood cell indices in isolation, we need to consider how those markers relate to one another - and what they’re telling us in the context of the child sitting in front of us.

This is exactly what Kelly Allan .family.naturopath will be unpacking in our upcoming Paediatrics in Practice online masterclass, Bloods Without the Guesswork.

If you work with children and want to feel more confident interpreting paediatric blood pathology, this one is for you.

A big part of what I do in clinic is supporting people who are taking anti-epileptic medications - not by replacing their medication, but by looking at how we can support them alongside it.

Some anti-epileptic medications can affect nutrient status, including vitamin D, B vitamins and calcium, while others may contribute to side effects such as fatigue, changes in mood, appetite or weight.

So I like to look at the bigger picture.

What medication are you taking?
What are the known side effects and potential nutrient depletions?
What symptoms are you experiencing?
And importantly - what can we do to help you feel better?

Sometimes that means investigating nutrient status. Sometimes it means looking more closely at energy, mood, thyroid function, blood sugar or bone health.

Medication can be incredibly important for seizure management, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore everything else that may be happening in the body.

One of the most underused tests in paediatric practice might already be sitting in your client’s file. 👀

It can be easy to jump straight to more extensive functional testing before fully understanding what standard blood pathology is already telling us.

But as Kelly explains, paediatric pathology comes with its own nuances. Age changes what “normal” looks like, inflammation can influence results, and individual markers often make far more sense when interpreted together.

That’s exactly what we’ll be unpacking in Bloods Without the Guesswork on 19 October.

Kelly will take us through iron studies, thyroid, zinc + copper, homocysteine and more - including the relationships and common traps that can send our clinical thinking in the wrong direction.

Plus, everyone who registers will receive practical resources to use with their paediatric clients straight away.

When we first started our epilepsy journey, there was so much I didn’t know.

And looking back now, both as a mum who has lived it and a practitioner who has spent years working in this space, there are a few things I wish someone had told me from the very beginning. 💛

Find people who truly listen, support you and advocate for your child.

Know that it’s okay to ask questions and have conversations about the options available to you.

Be aware of potential drug–nutrient interactions and depletions, and work with your healthcare team to monitor and address these where appropriate.

And know that nutrition can be another piece of the puzzle. Dietary therapies for epilepsy exist on a spectrum and should always be tailored to the individual child with appropriate professional support.

I created my free guide, What I Wish I’d Known at the Start of Our Epilepsy Journey, because these are the conversations I wish I’d had when our family was starting out.
