Parents in our pediatric wellness program get more than just a trusted and experienced provider for their children; they get access to our childhood wellness guidance resources online 24/7. As we combine the best of functional and conventional medicine, Christian wisdom, and parenting experience without driving you to unnecessary fear, you get our guidance for parenting in this fallen world. Here we offer a sample of our wellness resources from birth through age five. You can sleep better at night knowing we will work with you to individualize your child’s health care.
We all, parents included, want to know whom we can trust. While the world around us seems to be spiraling into more and more loss of trust, at Sanctuary, we want to be a sanctuary where you can trust what we tell you. We preserve that trust by taking the time to properly apply our years of medical training and study to your child’s unique situation; by applying the wisdom of years of our own parenting; by avoiding the traps of following the wrong science; by listening to you and your children; and by working with you rather than over you.
Part of building that trust is sharing reliable resources where you can further research our recommendations or double check choices you are faced with. We review research findings and consumer product sites in order to digest them for you. When you find something online that may apply to your child, we help you sort out that question and help you develop your own discernment so you are empowered as a parent.
One of the principles we will encourage is to take time and evaluate those online claims which seem a little too good to be true. Another is to look for research that supports a therapy claim online beyond what they put on their website. We will even provide some review sites which we believe are worth your time when making purchasing decisions.
At the end of the day, we want you to feel confident in making health care and lifestyle choices for your little ones. By sharing our resources and teaching you how to use them, we hope your children can look forward to healthier, more abundant lives.
