Why Create Whole Child Wellness?

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Pediatric Nurse pursuing her Family Nurse Practitioner degree, we (Kylie and Annie) bring together unique yet complementary perspectives on children's health and development. We have been best friends since we were 5 years old. Experiencing life together and creating memories every step of the way. Since graduating college (where we were roommates) and going on to graduate school, we developed a shared passion for non-toxic living and whole-child wellness. This sparked a natural partnership that bridges behavioral science with functional medicine.

We created this blog because we've seen firsthand how environmental factors, behavioral support, and holistic health practices work together to help children truly flourish. Through our combined experience in schools, homes, and healthcare settings, as well as personal experience, we've discovered that lasting positive change happens when we address both behavior and overall wellness as interconnected pieces of the same puzzle.

With this blog, we'll share evidence-based strategies, practical non-toxic living solutions, and holistic approaches that support children's development across all environments. Our goal is to share resources and empower families with the knowledge and tools they need to create healthier, happier homes where children can thrive.

Join us as we explore the intersection of behavioral health, functional medicine, and non-toxic living - because we believe every child deserves an environment that supports their whole well-being.
