FROM DIAGNOSIS

Children’s Neurodevelopment Program

Your child’s gut is helping shape their brain chemistry. Has anyone tested it?

The gut produces most of the body’s serotonin and plays a major role in overall neurotransmitter activity, so gut health and brain chemistry are tightly linked. In many neurodivergent children, bacterial overgrowths such as Clostridium produce compounds like p-cresol (4-Cresol) that research has shown can interfere with the enzymes involved in dopamine metabolism. Standard care rarely tests for any of this and what isn’t measured can’t be addressed.

This is why behaviour-management strategies that don’t address the underlying biology can hit a ceiling. It’s hard to rebuild neurotransmitter balance while the gut is still producing compounds that disrupt it.

Most neurodivergent children have never had their gut tested. That is the gap this program addresses.

What We Actually Test and Treat

Nicole’s program is designed for children presenting with one or more of the following:

•  Gut issues and chronic digestive dysfunction

•  Poor neurological output

•  Retained primitive reflexes

•  Sensory processing difficulties

•  ASD or complex neurodevelopmental presentations

•  Neuroinflammation and immune activation

•  ADHD-style presentations driven by underlying biology

These aren’t labels to manage. They’re biological patterns to investigate, measure and address.

WORKING TOGETHER

How It Works

apply and book your initial consult ($150)

An in-depth Zoom consultation to understand your child’s history

and determine the best path forward.

lab testing

(weeks 1-3)

Lab kits shipped directly to your home; samples are then collected and returned to the lab. Results in roughly two weeks.

protocol creation & reflex assessment

Nicole analyses the lab data, builds a personalised supplement protocol, then conducts a full primitive assessment.

6 months of implementation

Regular check-ins, protocol adjustments and ongoing monitoring, remote or in-person. Nicole tracks progress & adapts as child responds.

apply and book your initial consult ($150)

 A comprehensive clinical intake via Zoom. Nicole reviews your child’s full history and determines whether her approach is the right fit.

Blending Science, Experience & Intuition

My approach combines:

✓ Functional Medicine Principles

✓ Functional Pathology Testing

✓ Nervous System Assessment

✓ Primitive Reflex Integration

✓ Gut Health & Nutrition Support

✓ Photobiomodulation (PBM)

✓ Lifestyle & Environmental Assessment

Every child arrives with a unique story. Instead of a one-size-fits-all protocol, I use detailed case history, testing and assessment to see the full picture, then build a personalised roadmap designed around your child’s specific needs, so they can thrive.

This program is different because:

•  Every protocol starts with comprehensive lab data, not guesswork

•  Supplements are formulated for sensory tolerance, taste and texture matter

•  Sequencing is non-negotiable, gut before reflexes, always

•  One integrated system, under one practitioner

•  Six months of supported implementation, not a therapy block that ends and restarts

STILL CURIOUS

Common Questions

Do you diagnose ADHD, Autism or other neurodivergent conditions?

No. Formal diagnosis sits with your paediatrician, psychologist or GP, and we're glad to work alongside them. What we do is look underneath the label: the nervous system, nutrition, gut and biochemistry driving what you're seeing, and how to support your child from there. A diagnosis isn't required to begin.

What age children do you work with?

We work with children from any age and with the adults in the family through our functional health programs. If you're not sure whether your child's age is a fit, book a discovery call and we'll tell you honestly.

Do I need to have a diagnosis before working with you?

Not at all. Some families come to us with a diagnosis; many come with questions and no label yet. We start with what you're seeing, focus, sleep, mood, learning, gut and investigate from there.

Will you ask us to make major lifestyle changes?

We build practical, step-by-step changes that fit your family's real life, and we sequence them so you're never doing everything at once. Small, sustainable shifts are what create lasting change.

What happens during the initial consultation?

We take a detailed case history,  your child's development, health, diet, sleep and day-to-day challenges to build a complete picture. From there we identify where to look deeper and, where it helps, recommend targeted functional testing. You'll leave with clarity on the next step.

Getting Started

There’s one way in. Apply through the website, book your Initial Clinical Consult, and be accepted.

The consult is $150 AUD credited toward any program you go on to start. Nicole reviews your child’s case and decides whether her approach is the right fit. If it isn’t, she’ll tell you.

This isn’t a sales funnel. It’s a mutual vetting process.
