…….you are not failing as a mum just because you don’t know how to fix your baby's tummy troubles
You are not alone if you are:
Not at all confident and worried you will “fail” your child.
Unsure of the best way to feed your baby.
Stressed that they aren’t getting what they need.
Babies experience pain and irritability for many reasons and sometimes it's hard to know why.
Karina has 21 years clinical experience and also research experience in babies with reflux, colic and irritability.
She supports parents to come up with a clear plan to make their baby feel and sleep better and ensure they get all the nutrition they need to thrive!
There is SO much information out there, and sometimes people look in all the wrong places. You just want to cut through the clutter and get advice from a true paediatric nutrition professional.
Creating an effective feeding plan for your baby is the best path to reducing irritability and tummy troubles, so they sleep and eat well!
“Thankyou so much for all your help for our little boy. It has been life changing and has given me the confidence knowing he now eats a great variety of foods. Even better than us!”

MEET MY TRICKY BABY
As cute as she was when she was a baby, boy did she put me through the ringer. She was SUCH a colicky baby… full of wind, not to mention the chucker of the century!
I was sleep deprived, in a world of fog and had a baby who was soooo irritable. I still vividly remember sitting on our couch when the child and family nurse visited. She turned to me and said how urgent it was that we be booked in for an overnight stay to get help with trained experts.
I felt like a bad mum…. like I had truly failed my baby. She was so upset with her tummy pain, I just wanted it to go away…. and I wanted more sleep, to feel half human again.
Well fast forward in time and we fixed her! I was able to sort her tummy troubles and set up a plan so that she truly could thrive. It gave me more sleep and energy and I could finally see my way out of the fog!
I want this for you too, which is why I’m here to change your story - we can definitely make a difference, so lets start.

Until you know what to change,
NOTHING WILL CHANGE
…and you will stay worried and sleep deprived!
It’s kinda like having something wrong with your car and trying to figure it out by yourself, without the help of a trained mechanic
That’s why you need to become an expert in feeding your baby by spending time with Karina
Did you know that a clear plan on how to feed your baby will:
❤️ Improve their gut and immune health and reduce their risk of developing allergies (or picking up other allergies)
❤️ Reduce the chances of them becoming a fussy eater
❤️ Stop your worry and stress and give you back headspace
❤️ Improve your confidence, clarity, energy levels and turn you back into feeling like the super-mum you are!
Take it from mums who have taken the journey and are now on the other side!

"Karina took the time to understand our particular circumstances”
Karina was enormously helpful! She took the time to understand our particular circumstances and gave us lots of advice and guidance. My husband and I left the appointment feeling confident and excited to start our new food journey with our little boy!

This plan is the fastest way to get your baby’s tummy back on track to happiness and stop the worry and sleepless nights.
Some mums have told me…
I’m a failure, I’m messing up my child.
REMEMBER…plenty of capable mums that are “killing it” in other areas of their lives, also feel like complete failures when it comes to feeding their babies.
Feeding babies is one of the hardest things every! …. we are parents just need the right tools to manage!
I’ve tried everything already, nothing works… I’ve seen all the info online and tried it all….
BUT…. a famous person once said
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein.
….in other words, we need someone else (perhaps an expert) to look at our situation from the outside and offer some support and a new way of doing things.
If you are feeling this way too, that is TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE
So if you’re still unsure about booking a consultation, read on…
❤️ Colicky babies are likely to have an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in their gut
• It’s important to get on top of this and rebalance out their microbiome so that their immune system can develop properly
• Improving their microbiome will also reduce the risk of other complications such as food allergy, infections and even obesity
❤️ Unsettled babies respond to dietary changes in at least 50% of cases:
It’s wonderful that we can help babies so quickly with dietary changes. The key however is knowing what to change! This is where you need a specialised professional.
❤️ You have found the exact baby gut professional you need to help your baby.
There are not many professionals who specialise in this area of baby gut health and nutrition.
You have found a true specialist in this field with over 20 years researching and working clinically with these types of babies
Not to mention healing her own baby with a very tricky tummy.
❤️ Don’t risk other complications
• The sooner you can heal your baby’s tummy troubles the better
• Babies with gut issues have an increased risk of food allergy and other sickness, not to mention being overweight when older.
❤️ Do it for your own sanity!
• How much is your mental health worth?
• Having a clear plan will not only set your baby’s gut health on the path to success, but it will set you on a path to mental freedom and much more confidence in your day to day life.
Imagine what it would be like to…
• Fix your baby’s tummy troubles
• Get more sleep and have more energy
• Have more time to do other things for you!
• Worry less and have more confidence as a mum
• Know exactly how to feed your baby (food/milk feeds)
• Spend less time in the kitchen stressing about food
• See your baby happy
