Pediatric Functional Medicine
It’s time to trust your instincts
You know your child better than anyone else. If a doctor has brushed off their symptoms as “normal” or simply handed out medication, it’s time to trust your instincts. Remember, just because something is considered normal doesn’t mean it’s healthy. We’re here to empower you to take control using natural options that truly support your child’s well-being.
Here’s how we approach your child’s health:

You share your concerns and we truly hear you. The program is explained in further detail and we decide if its the right fit for you and your child.

Next, we’ll dedicate time to explore your child’s health history together. This will begin to uncover any factors that might be contributing to their symptoms and give us a larger picture.

We’ll choose the right functional tests to guide us—hint: we always look at the gut first!

Client Testimonial
“Before working with Dr. Shelley, my daughter struggled with extreme sensitivity to light, sound, and touch—shower time was especially difficult for her. But now, those sensitivities are completely gone, and it's such a relief. ”
What is Functional Medicine for Kids?
As a parent, you want the best for your child’s health—now and in the future. But when your child isn’t feeling well, it can be tough to find answers that go beyond just treating symptoms with medications. That’s where our pediatric functional medicine program steps in.
Functional medicine for kids takes a whole-child approach, looking at the root causes of health issues rather than just masking symptoms. Whether your child is dealing with digestive problems, skin issues, ADHD, or mood swings, functional medicine helps us understand why these things are happening in the first place. We don’t just want to “patch things up”; we want to uncover the underlying factors—like nutrition, stress, gut health, or even environmental influences—and help your child heal from the inside out.
Functional medicine isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about helping your child feel better long term. Whether they’re struggling with chronic conditions or just need a little extra support to grow strong and healthy, functional medicine provides a personalized, holistic approach to wellness.
