Who is the Food & Mood Program

Nutritionist Leigh Shinde together with Neuro-Psychotherapist Dr Natalie Challis created the Calm Your Anxious Child Program.

They chose to split out the Food & Mood portion of the program to give families something tangible they could implement at home straight away to create real changes.

Starting with the gut health gives you the opportunity to treat the whole child - mind, body and gut, together as one.

Successfully treated over a thousand children

The Food & Mood Course is right for you if:

You're wanting to make changes at home straight away to support your child's mood.
You have an idea that food might be impacting your child's moods but you want more information.
You feel overwhelmed and just want clear, qualified and sustainable food ideas.
You want to feel empowered and supported by someone who knows exactly what you're going through.

I feel like I've been given a big virtual hug...

“ I’ve become a bit obsessed with the course. I’m finding everything so enlightening and starting to feel like I DO have the power to change our lives.

It’s holistic, realistic and nurturing. It came at just the right time for me, when I was struggling with my confidence as a parent, feeling judged, overwhelmed and alone. I feel like I’ve been given a big virtual hug.”
