Fiona Stock

Founder · Children’s Naturopath & Nutritionist

For over 28 years, I’ve helped parents better understand their children’s health — supporting families through gut, skin, behavioural and immune concerns. Working with children is one of the greatest joys of my career; they are incredibly resilient and often respond well when given the right support.

Why I do what I do

Many parents come to me feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or unsure where to start — they may have received conflicting advice or feel that nobody has taken the time to look at the bigger picture. My goal is to help parents make sense of their child’s symptoms and provide practical, achievable recommendations that fit into everyday family life.

My approach

I believe every child is unique and there’s rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. Rather than focusing on individual symptoms alone, consultations look at the whole child — diet, digestion, sleep, immune health, growth, development and overall wellbeing. By taking a broader view, it’s often possible to identify patterns and contributing factors that may otherwise be overlooked.

Over the years I’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of families. Meaningful change doesn’t usually happen overnight, but small, consistent changes can have a significant impact on a child’s health, wellbeing and quality of life.

Specialised training: Fiona has completed specialised training through the USA-based Medical Academy of Paediatrics & Special Needs (MAPS), supporting her work with children experiencing behavioural, developmental, digestive and complex health concerns.

Having Fiona give me the answers and guidance I needed without all the extra input has been really calming to my mind. Knowing there is things we can do to improve my children’s wellbeing (plus my own) and being taken seriously is so nice when you have young children. Seeing a blood result there on the spot was very interesting and really helpful in knowing I wasn’t wrong seeking the help. I’m so glad I’ve found Fiona and I’ll be able to follow up for any guidance I may need! Thanks Fiona!

Fiona was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, and we found our consultation with her very helpful. As parents of a neurodivergent child, we really appreciated how personalised her approach was and how she took the time to understand our son’s individual needs. We learnt so much about nutrition and how, while many of the healthy foods we were already giving him are nutritious, some may not be the most helpful for his particular needs, including considerations around histamines and gluten/wheat/dairy. It was really eye-opening and gave us a much better understanding of how we can support him through his diet. We also really appreciated being able to see and understand his blood sample results and where he is doing well, as well as the areas where he could be supported further. Fiona explained everything so clearly, which made the information much easier to understand and apply. We’re excited to implement the changes she recommended and see how they positively impact our son over time.

Saw Fiona for my son’s eczema and hives, she was so informative and you can tell she ACTUALLY CARES and knows what she’s talking about and isn’t dismissive. I wish I had gone to her sooner. Looking forward to a follow up with her
