Age of Autism Contest: Free Nutritional Consult with Autism Help From Home

We're pleased to provide a contest for a one hour phone consultation with Kathleen Reily of Autism Help at Home, a Certified Holistic Health Counselor and Nutrition Consultant with a degree in Natural Health Sciences.  Leave a comment to enter. You can choose your consult time.  Here's what she does for her clients:
 
I have over 20 years experience working with children and parents in the capacity of teacher, specialized caregiver and special diets cook. I also am a Board Certified and Accredited Member of The American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP), with affiliations to The State University Of New York (SUNY). Further, I am a trained professional and personal chef having cooked in restaurants and homes worldwide. 

I use a holistic and biomedical approach with children (and adults) based on the most effective healing modalities known today. I will provide for you an innovative and effective system that will radically improve your child's symptoms and well-being. In my years of experience working with children facing similar challenges, I have developed an effective, individualized protocol to immediately address even the most severe issues. As we work toward healing your child, I also will guide you in a holistic health and nutrition program for your own healing. Parents (rightly) focus on the urgency of addressing their child's needs but often forget themselves in the process. In order to optimally heal, a child needs physically and emotionally healthy parents. You as a parent need to be fully available to your child and I can help you to achieve that.

It's rare for any Mom to get an hour to work on their nutrition and personal health goals with a trained professional, let alone a Mom who's dealing with what you have on your plate every day. Moreover, you may not know that many parents of children with autism and ADHD have underlying health issues -- often undiagnosed -- similar to those of their special needs children, such as celiac disease, food intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux or "GERD", candida overgrowth, and the many nutritional connections involved with depression, anxiety, autoimmune diseases and thyroid disorders.

When your own body is healing, the process of healing your child becomes much less overwhelming. You will replace in your diet and your life, stressors that negatively impact your physical and emotional well-being with foods and activities that promote healing. You are more likely to succeed by staying on track with constant support from me, staying tuned in to your child's program and being encouraged to be consistent through all efforts to ensure recovery.

I work from a holistic and balanced approach to promote a calm, productive, healthy and happy lifestyle. Most mainstream nutritionists and dietitians tend to focus on calories, carbs, fats, proteins, restrictions and lists of "good" and "bad" foods, declaring a specific number count on which the client is to rest assured will work. I don't do that. I work with my clients, taking into consideration individual symptoms, life stresses and dietary challenges, in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.

As a holistic health counselor and nutrition consultant, I am here to create a supportive environment while we explore the path that actually works for you to successfully achieve your goals for your child through a holistic nutritional model for both of you. I will support you physically, mentally/emotionally, and spiritually.

We just went back to GF (stayed CF for years). I need some encouragement! If I'm not too late to enter the contest, please put my name in the bag. Thanks!

[Rita]

Am I too late?? which would be the story of my life....I would also love love love to win this contest! My son is now 12 and still eats a severely limmitted diet. Its something I really want to work on but every time I try to, I get so overwhelmed.
Nutrition could help my whole family also, not just my son on the spectrum, but my husband who has suffered thru heart attack and bypass surgery and my other son, who has alot of digestive problems and allergies and ofcourse, myself....i suffer with psoriasis. Wow, I'm sorta depressed now, lol

[Kevin]

My son is allergic to 128 various foods, has high oxalates and is on a rotating, limited foods diet (no GFCF, Casein, Egg, rice, corn, etc.). I travel a lot (every week) and can't be at home to help. My wife struggles with recipes to vary his food enough for him to thrive. Although, he hasn't. He's lost weight. He's down to 32 lbs for a 5 1/2 year old.

We could really use any help provided...or suggestions...or a chef! ;-)

[Lesly Weiner]

I am trying to juggle the nutritional needs (on top of all the other needs) of a special needs child, & a neurotypical 13 yr old who is overweight without the full support of their dad. Please help!!

[Judi Girardin]

Please sign me up! I have a 17 year old with
ADHD and a 15 year old with a learning disability
and food allergies. I have fought long and hard
to keep my kids off meds and I'm very interested
in learning more about foods effect in our overall health.

[Yvonne]

please enter me in the contest, this would be a great help!

[Stagmom]

Channeling your inner Eddie Haskell, Bradley?? "That's a very nice dress, Mrs. Cleaver." You know, when you tell a 45 year old woman, "you look young and energized," that's not QUITE what she hears... (Do I look 43? I feel quite young today.)

[Stacy]

Sign us up to please. We have a 3 yr old ASD daughter with major feeding and diet issues. Thanks!

[J. Bradley Borden]

Enter me, pretty please.

Did I mention how young and energized you are looking lately, Kim?

[Anne Hodapp]

Please enter me in the contest. I'm a single mom (father's only involvement is financial) to a 9yr old girl with Asperger's, Cerebral Palsy and a seizure disorder. She is very limited in the types of foods (mostly crunchy carbs) she eats. I've just started supplementing her and could really use the guidance.

[Kristina]

I would love this. My son is a food jagger and even though we have been GFCF for a year he only eats GF carbs.

[Gabriella]

This would be a wonderful opportunity

[Susan O'Hale]

Please enter me as well. My son has severe GI issues. Thank you.

[Karen Failkoff]

This would be such a help to our son and family. He is GFCF and limits himself to familiar foods. I am a vegan and trying hard to convert the rest of the family. Working full time now & trying to keep it all together. Would love this help!!
Thanks for the chance.

[Michelle Hatfield]

My entire family would benefit from winning this contest. My son has been GFCF for 3 yrs now and he still only eats a limited variety of foods. He still has a rash on his face and arms that his DAN dr says she cannot figure out...I know it's something he's eating!
I've also gone CF and will be eliminating gluten next. Finding/creating GFCF foods has been challenging to me as a mom....I have limited time and ideas to come up with...add the picky eater and I'm a tad frustrated some days. I sincerely need your help in this area. Thanks so much!

[Jennifer Nichols]

Would love to win this for our son.

[Jean Carroll]

This would be great! I definitely feel like I am struggling on the right combination of diet and nutrition so I can use all the help I can get!

[Elizabeth Kitzman]

Kathleen sounds incredible! I would love to meet with her!

[ROSEMARY ARNONE]

Please submit my name for a great contest. Need help!

[Kim B.]

This would mean so much to our family. We need help in these areas. I know that I have health issues and I've put them off so I can heal my son.
