Back to School Wellness Tips for Parents & Children

With summer now drawing to a close, it’s natural to feel the quiet (or not-so-quiet!) stirrings of September just around the corner - especially with back-to-school time near. In this blog I'll share my top back to school wellness tips for parents and children.

Routines may have slipped (or vanished altogether!) during the holidays, and getting back into the swing of things can reignite old patterns of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm - for both children and adults alike. That’s why this transitional time is the perfect opportunity for a gentle reset, so your whole family can step into the new school year feeling calm, energised, and clear.

Imagine entering September feeling light, focused and aligned, not frazzled or exhausted. Sound like a dream? It doesn’t have to be. I work with many parents who feel drained, anxious, or burned out, and together we address underlying imbalances caused by toxins, food triggers, and nutrient deficiencies.

Supportive nutrients like B Vitamins, and adaptogenic herbs such as Ashwagandha, Rhodiola and Lemon Balm, can do wonders for a stressed nervous system (always consult with your healthcare provider before taking these herbs). When you feel balanced, your kids feel it too - it ripples throughout the whole household.

If your child is prone to recurrent infections or viruses, now is a great time to strengthen their immune system before the return to the classroom, where bugs are easily passed around. We look at nutritional gaps and toxicity to support resilience from within. Zinc, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C and probiotics are all powerful tools here.

And for those children who feel anxious, withdrawn or lacking confidence about going back to school, homeopathy offers gentle yet effective support. I can create personalised remedies to help them feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported.

I know how easy it is for parents – especially mothers – to put themselves last when family and work demand more and more. But when you’re running on empty, everything feels harder. A little support now can set the tone for a much smoother, more energised school year ahead – for everyone.

Ready to feel calmer, clearer and more in control AND support your child to do the same? I offer personalised, natural support to help you and your family feel your best this autumn.
