There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching your child struggle with unwanted symptoms.
Feeling powerless to stop their struggle is one of the worst things as a parent.
We all want our children to reach their full potential, to develop in their own unique way, and to be able to enjoy their lives.
To play and climb outside, watch bugs in wonder and get fascinated by the world and develop their own interests and passions.
We want our children to be free from suffering now and set them up for success later in life.
But being a parent and juggling the mental load, life admin, our careers, other children or caregiving roles, meal times and knowing what to feed our kids is hard!
How do you know what is good for your child to eat these days? Should they be plant-based, or dairy-free? How much sugar is too much?
Then it is not just knowing what to feed them …is getting them to actually eat it and not throw it across the room or subtly drop it on the floor for the dog to eat (is that just my kids?)
Supporting your children’s gut, brain and full body health can feel like a MINEFIELD.
Do you give your child probiotics or supplements? Should they drink cow’s milk or is soya better?
What about vegetables or fish – how on earth do you get them to eat them?

Your child has so much potential to heal.
When you know the right foods and strategic lifestyle tools you can watch this potential ‘turn on’ and your child to become the happiest, funnest version of themselves.
You don’t need to spend hours every day, it doesn’t need to consume your whole life – but you need a clear plan of action based on your child unique root causes and lab data.
Imagine meal time feeling EASIER and you knew exactly what to feed them and what food was helping them thrive.
You spent less time stressed or overwhelmed as a Mum and were more present for hugs and quality connection with your kid – not constantly googling and researching.
You know what snacks to pack, what supplements you should or shouldn’t be taking – based on your unique family situation and life. No generic or unrealistic advice!
Their behaviour shifts, skin heals, sleep improves, gut issues settle and you watch them become more and more themselves – because YOU learned how to create the ecosystem their bodies needed to thrive!
Hi, I’m Kezia
As a holistic nutritionist with 10 years experience and mum of 3, who has been passionate and determined to give my kids a better health start than I had. I know it is possible to support your child’s brain and gut health without going crazy or getting sick yourself!
As Mums, we have never been taught the key nutrients our children need in order to thrive and have optimal brain development. I help Mums feel confident and have a clear (and realistic) plan to support their children in their specific issues.
My focus and passions are:
- optimising neurodivergence and brain development
- nutrition to support sleep and behaviour
- gut health & healthy bowel movements
- skin issues
Seedlings is designed to support you, as the Mum/parent, in facilitating your child’s own healing and recovery.
It’s about supporting you with the right strategic, nutritional and supplementation information so you can feel confident that you’re doing the right thing to facilitate your child’s thriving.
Think of me as your right-hand women when it comes to knowing how and what to feed your kids and your personal detective to help you get to the root of your child’s symptoms.
A bit of back story…
I am passionate about supporting Mums to create the best environment for their kids to thrive.
After struggling with my own health from a very young age and it massively impacting my adulthood, I am passionate about supporting our kid’s health and development from the get-go.
Then, after having 3 kids in 2 years (unexpected twins!) I was faced with the challenge of having the nutritional expertise and research but having very little time, hands or head space to implement it – or do it perfectly (and we really want to get it right as Mums don’t we?!)
So I had to get really good at being strategic and knowing what I need to prioritise for each unique child. I needed to know the shortcuts, sneaky tricks and ways to support them even with less than perfect circumstances.
We know we can’t do it all, but which balls can we strategically drop as parents?
I needed to support 3 kids and their health issues and development issues (twins are often born early and small!) whilst ALSO recovering myself (and run my online business, keep my marriage healthy and occasionally wash my hair!).
And that is what I did – not perfectly, but I am proud of how I navigated this intense time and am watching my kids hit their milestones, eat their veg (mostly), and sleep well in the night.
Now I help Mums support their children’s health issues strategically and realistically by harnessing private lab data, genetic testing and other non-invasive data gathering.
When you know the right strategy for your unique kid, you can have the joy of watching them heal, repair and become the happiest, most confident version of themselves!
How it works?
Once we’ve chatted on Zoom and you’ve decided that you’re ready to see some big results – we get started straight away.
Step 1 – The first thing we do is gather data – we run non invasive lab tests for your kids (mouth swabs etc), you complete a holistic health questionnaire on their behalf and we have our first session where I ask lots of questions and meet your child (this can just be for 10-15 mins they dont been to be in attended the whole time). This is all so we can begin to figure out thier unique root causes.
Step 2 – I research and design your child’s program – so you don’t have too think about it at ALL!
We meet every 2 weeks, steadily implementing your personalised program one step at a time so that you feel like you’re making progress without feeling pressure or stress.
I also have Whats App office hours so you can send over SOS messages whenever you need too.
Step 3 – We track your child’s symptom and progress, and you watch as your life actually gets EASIER because you feel so supported, are no longer googling everything, have a place to ask all your questions and feel confident that what you are doing WILL WORK.
What’s included?
3-6 months of one-to-one support through your private sessions and weekly check ins in between to keep you motivated and so that you feel supported as you make changes and support your child.
Private lab tests included. This might be a gut microbiome lab test, genetic testing or equivalent toward private lab tests so that we can get accurate data about your kids body (which equals quicker results!)
Weekly support, accountability, encouragement, and help so that you don’t feel overwhelmed or totally stressed about meal times!
Regular private consultations with Kezia – on average we meet online every 2 weeks so that you make consistent progress and feel motivated.
10% discount to any supplements recommended and 20% discount off most private lab tests.
Hours of personalized research about your child’s unique body. I check through thier health history, liaise with the labs about test results and make a clear strategy so can focus on more cuddles and quality time with your kid.
Analysis of any existing lab data and collaboration with other medical or health practitioners!
“The biggest changes are definitely less bloating and overall fewer stomach problems! But also my joint pain has disappeared and I have got more energy.
My immune system has never been better, and my periods are rarely painful and I don’t have any heavy bleeding anymore.

FAQs
Does my child have to take supplements?
This totally depends on you, your child and the root causes. We don’t have to use them, but I often find a palatable supplement that the child likes and is able to take.
Will it work?
Great question! I am confident that when you apply a personalised, evidence-based approach, along with coaching support and accountability your success is inevitable. Most of my clients see big shifts in their top 2 symptoms within 8 weeks.
However this is YOUR families/childs transformation – so I cannot guarantee results. Also depending on the extent of your health issues and how long you have suffered with your symptoms, your willingness to support your nervous system and shift your mindset and lifestyle – all impact the speed at which you progress.
My child is a fussy eater...
No worries – this is a program that is personalised for you and your child so we can make it work based on where they are at.
Can I, the parent, get some supplement advice too?
Of course if you want to add on an additional program for yourself, we can discuss this
Your child may be struggling and your heart breaking – but there is so much you can do to support your child’s thriving!
As the Mum, you provide the blueprint and environment (and likely food!) for your child, so its time to learn how to optimise it so you can feel confident that they will heal, grow and reach their full potential!
My daughter’s thyroid and period problems were holding her back…
“Before working with Kezia my daughter’s thyroid and period problems were holding her back. She experienced tiredness, painful and heavy periods.
Now, she has better energy and have seen a change in her periods, in that they don’t last so long and are lighter!
I would absolutely recommend this – Kezia was so easy to work with and it worked great online.”

Now I have noticed so many amazing changes that I never thought were possible…
“I was constantly bloated, had regular/constant diarrhea, low energy, thyroid issues and just generally felt exhausted most of the time.
Now I have noticed so many amazing changes that I never thought were possible, having struggled with IBS from an early age. I hardly ever have diarrhea now and I am much more aware of what agrees and doesn’t agree with my gut. The bloating has drastically decreased and along with losing weight, I have gone down a clothes size.
My blood results show that my thyroid levels have improved, as well as my iron levels which were always historically low. I feel so much better and have a lot more energy (I used to not be able to get through a day without a nap!)
One of the biggest shifts I have seen is my mindset, particularly my attitude toward my body…the shift in my mindset gives me confidence that this will be a long-term change of lifestyle and not some short-term fad.”

I feel lighter, more joyful and more positive about life!
“I was pretty low when I started working with Kezia. Had been on anti-depressants/anti-anxiety medication and was not sleeping more than 2 hours a night. I had appalling digestive problems and struggled to digest food. It was passing straight through me! Felt tired a lot and had low moods as well.
Now I am sleeping for significantly longer periods!
My digestion has made dramatic improvements and for the first time in my adult life I have gained some weight which was really necessary for me. I feel much more nourished from my food. My mood has improved dramatically. I don’t feel so exhausted, negative or anxious. I feel lighter, more joyful and more positive about life!
And while I wondered about the cost side of the implications, it has been one of the best financial investments I have ever made in myself.”
Jane Wilkinson, Sustainability Officer
No bloating, more regular bowel movements, better energy…
Nicola ate a pretty healthy diet and was very active but struggled with a lot of bloating, pain and bowel issues. She knew she wanted to try and have a baby so wanted to optimise her gut and hormones as she was 40 but she had a very busy stressful job:
“Before working with Kezia there I was struggling with bloating, slow digestion, frequent pain and tummy uncomfortableness.
Now I’ve had no bloating, more regular bowel movements (I used to be constipated a lot), better energy and my body’s ability to more quickly heal itself if slightly irritated.
Having informed help has been so empowering in knowing how to make good choices for my health.”
Nicola Welburn – HR Business Partner & (now) Mother
My thyroid function returned to normal after 8 weeks..
“I had been diagnosed with elevated thyroid antibodies and struggled with tiredness, low energy, bloating and numerous bouts or swelling in the mouth in the form of ulcers for example around my wisdom teeth.
Now after the program Kezia created for me, my thyroid function returned to normal after 8 weeks of following the plan (according to blood test results)! “
