Newsletter – February 2012

We’ve had a busy start to the year here at NBK with some new team members joining us and some exciting new developments:

INTRODUCING DR HELEN
After several months of looking for the right practitioner to join us for Online Consults, we’re excited to announce our newest team member – Dr Helen Smith!

Dr Helen has attended Mindd Foundation training and has a special interest in children. click here to read more

KRISTEN’S FIRST INTERNATIONAL SPEAKING EVENT
Kristen has been invited to speak at an International Down Syndrome Conference in the Carribbean in February 2013.

OUR FIRST EVENT FOR 2012 – ‘WANT HEALTHIER CHILDREN?‘ with Don Chisholm & Kristen Morrison
Fact #1 – Today’s children face a world far different from the one we grew up in.
Fact #2 – More and more kids suffer from conditions that were rare a few decades ago.
Just how much connection is there between these two facts? Why would you take a young child to an osteopath, chiropractor or naturopath when there’s nothing ‘wrong’? Why is gut health so important even for our little kids?

Find out at our Melbourne event on March 25th with Don Chisholm, Author of ‘Have Yo Got The Guts To Be Really Healthy?’ and our founder Kristen Morrison.. This is not a special needs event, natural therapies and approaches are as much about prevention as treatment. Tickets just $15… click here for more details

WE’VE ADOPTED… NATURAL PARENTING TIPS!
Much like adopting a precious baby is how we feel this week about taking over Natural Parenting Tips! Founded and nurtured for the past 5 years by the dynamic Kiera Pedley, we’ve taken it on as part of our ‘family,’ and what an amazing resource it is. With over 6,000 facebook followers and up to 20,000 parents frequenting the website each month, NPT provides gentle parenting tips and advice for new Mothers the world over. This is an incredibly active community of parents who genuinely care about each other and we are in awe of the level of commitment and free advice – and the speed with which it appears on the facebook page! All we can say is thank you Kiera for trusting us with your precious babe, and we wish you every success in your next adventure!

WOMEN’S WEEKLY ARTICLE – WHY WE SHOULD GO ORGANIC
Here’s an extract from the current issue of the Australian Womens Weekly

“There is an enormous amount of interest in organic food from parents of babies and young children… and rightly so. US studies found that in blood samples of children aged two to four, concentrations of pesticides were six times higher in children eating conventionally farmed fruits and vegetables compared with those eating organic food…
Exposure to agricultural pesticides has been linked to conditions such as hyperactivity, learning disabilities and behavioural disorders in children…” click here to read more.
