At “Whole Child Texas” we believe that the future of medicine goes beyond treatment and even prevention, towards wellness creation. We also believe in the body-mind-spirit connection and we strive to address all elements that contribute to a child’s health.

“Let thy food be thy medicine,” according to one of the first physicians, Hippocrates. Questions about organic foods? Gluten-free diets? When and what to feed your baby? Wondering about fish oil and vitamin D? We can work with you during routine well visits or as needed during specially scheduled consultations to review concerns and questions for your child.

 

  • Aromatherapy

 

Wondering how to harness the power of essential oils for healing? Some scents, like lavender, are relaxing, while others like eucalyptus are helpful to ease stuffy noses. We only use well-researched, safe, and clinically proven effective essential oils.

 

  • Homeopathy

 

Interested in safer, more natural remedies for coughs, colds and a variety of common childhood ailments? We can recommend safe and effective homeopathic treatment.

 

  • Functional Medicine

 

 Dr Alina uses a functional medicine for some chronic conditions because it truly addresses the ‘why’ of a disease or constellation of symptoms, and it offers an organized way to decipher the clues that are bodies are giving us in order to restore us back to wholeness and wellness. It takes into account the unique way in which our individual biochemical and genetic background interacts with absolutely everything we are exposed to on a daily basis—the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the environmental toxins we absorb, the thoughts and emotion we experience and the people around you.

 

  • Mind/Emotions/Spirit: 

 

We teach children – both healthy kids and those with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression - how to cope with challenging, stressful situations in life, at school and at home, by offering guidance on a variety of mind-body techniques like Heart Math, meditation, breathing exercise, and guided imagery.

 

  • Community - Education

 

It takes a village to raise a child and to keep a child healthy. We believe that parenting is much easier with the support of a loving community, especially in times when many families don’t have the support of grandparents and aunties and uncles that they used to have.

We provide weekend, lunch, and evening classes, like 

 

  •       Infant massage 
  •       Family nutrition
  •       Aromatherapy/Essential oils
  •       Holistic care of a sick child
  •       Prenatal care
