Constipation Relief for Children & Teens
We provide natural, non invasive solutions to childhood constipation that actually work.
Do you have a child who struggles with constipation, encopresis or enuresis?
Has your child’s doctor recommended Miralax for a clean out, but keeps recommending it without any other clear direction?
Does your child withhold and refuse to use the bathroom even though it’s clear she needs to?
Do you ask yourself why is this happening? When will it end? Is there anything that will help my child?
Maybe you feel like Miralax isn’t a good long term solution and you desire a more natural approach.
Work with Us
A Collaborative Approach
As you watch your child ride this merry go round of clean outs, belly pain and painful potty times, you are left feeling helpless and unsure of how to help give your child the help he or she so desperately needs.
Through our collaborative team approach, your child will find relief and freedom from constipation, overcome her withholding tendencies and decrease or eliminate enuresis and night time wetting. We help kiddos achieve 4-7 normal bowel movements per week without wasting time, energy and resources on things that don't work.
What makes Annette and Jessica so different is that they are with you and your child every step of the way. Jessica will not put your child on Miralax and send you out the door. She recommends all natural solutions and is available via text and phone to help titrate supplements as needed so your child has success all while providing recommendations to heal the gut and increase acceptance of high fiber foods.
Annette will focus on what is happening with your child’s pelvic floor, core and surrounding musculature that may be contributing to their toileting troubles. She will work with you and your child to develop an appropriate program geared towards your child’s needs. She will teach your child strategies to use at home to aid in the toileting process.

Did you know?
Every year, millions of children suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction and do not get the help that they need. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 10% of children age 5 and over have issues with leakage during the day. Constipation accounts for 5% of pediatric office visits and also contributes to urinary leakage and bed-wetting. Nutrition plays a critical role in the intervention for finding independence with bowel function.
Don’t delay any longer. Get your child the help he or she needs and find freedom from bowel and bladder challenges today!
