I'm a paediatrician and homeopath who spent over a decade working directly inside schools, assessing kids with behavioural problems one-on-one. I'd love to help your listeners make sense of the confusion that many parents experience when their child struggles at school and are faced with a multitude of possibilities: ADHD? Anxiety? Trauma? A sensory issue? Or just a normal phase of childhood?
Why parents will connect with this conversation:
• I'm not just a clinician, I'm a mother of two grown children, who experienced problems at school.
• I've spent years helping ‘worried parents’ understand their children’s behaviours.
• I bridge conventional medicine and complementary therapies without an agenda, I'll tell you honestly what has evidence and what doesn't.
My background
• Trained and qualified as a paediatrician in Spain; further trained in Tropical Paediatrics in Liverpool; qualified as a Homeopath in 2005 in Southafrica.
• 30 years working with children across government health departments and NGOs, including 12+ years embedded in township schools in Cape Town conducting assessments and interventions.
• Published research on malnutrition and massage.
Questions I can help an audience answer:
• My child is struggling at school, where do I even start?
• Is this a "phase," a diagnosis, or something environmental (sleep, screens, stress)?
• What's actually proven to help: diet changes? Therapy? Sensory work? Medication?
• How do I know if a therapy or remedy is legitimate or just marketing?
• What role does trauma play, even in kids who haven't experienced anything "big"?
A story I love telling: how the basics: sleep, play, nature, emotional regulation can set the foundation for quietly solving more school problems than any specialist referral, and why we so often skip straight past them.
