Sarah begins with a thorough clinical assessment to gain a clear understanding of your child’s unique situation. This involves an in-depth review of symptoms, medical history, and any triggering events that may have preceded the onset of symptoms. Sarah takes the time to listen to parents’ concerns and validates their observations, acknowledging the often-overlooked nuances in their child’s behaviour. This assessment provides a holistic picture of the child’s health and establishes the foundation for the next steps.

Based on the clinical assessment, Sarah recommends targeted functional tests to identify the root causes of your child’s symptoms. These tests may include assessing immune function, gut health, metabolic imbalances, and potential infections or inflammatory markers associated with PANS. By focusing on specific areas of concern, Sarah avoids unnecessary over-testing while gaining precise insights into what’s truly affecting your child. This data-driven approach helps to pinpoint key imbalances and provides a clear roadmap for treatment.

With the information from the clinical assessment and functional testing, Sarah creates a personalised treatment plan tailored to your child’s specific needs. This plan is designed to address the root causes of symptoms, restore balance, and support the healing process. Sarah’s approach is holistic and integrative, combining nutritional and lifestyle interventions, targeted therapies, and ongoing monitoring to ensure progress. Parents receive clear guidance on every step of the plan, with regular check-ins and adjustments as needed to achieve the best possible outcomes.
