Lorna McInnes

Hi, my name is Lorna.

My passion is in helping infants, children and women to become healthier, happier and kicking their developmental, educational, independence, health & wellbeing or personal life goals through counselling, life coaching and holistic wellbeing.

 

My forte is in supporting others with ASD, ADHD, anxiety, MTHFR, digestive disorders, allergy, intolerance, thyroid and auto immune challenges.

 

On my own colourful journey I have learned and experienced first hand how inter-related these disorders are, the influence nutrition, gut health and toxins have on them and the overwhelm that can occur without the guidance and support of a practitioner who "gets it".

Yes, I also have had my own challenges living with my ASD and ADHD and I strongly believe in the importance of individualised early intervention plans to include connection, nutrition, self awareness, practical strategies and support for each unique child, individual and family to move forward, feel empowered and improve their lives.

 

My mission is to help children and individuals decrease their toxic load and increase their nutrition, to cleanse and nourish their body and brain, and to help them learn new life skills and reach new goals, one step at a time.

​

I do understand the many challenges and strengths of being a child or woman with ASD/ ADHD, chronic anxiety and trauma, how confusing and soul destroying it can be and how exhausting it is to continually mask and fit in, when we cant even get our basic needs in order. Yes,  "high functioning" can be a very contradictory and painful label to stand up to. Sometimes it's just plain insulting, especially when it comes to getting support or even a diagnosis. I feel very strongly about advocating for us so called  " high functioners" and have decided to restructure my business to share exactly what works for myself and my previous  clients, especially since there is very limited funding, never mind understanding or knowledge to support our needs. I always explain it to people as having a full time job to do, before we even get to work or school. 

I had no support really growing up in Scotland and luckily my path from age 6 when I knew I was "different" led me on a never ending journey of gathering information, working on being a good person and Im very grateful that it led me to " now". I truly believe that, given the right strategies and supports, everyone can create the life they want to live and be the person they choose to be. If I did it, so can you my friend.

​​

Privately, you can choose what you would like me to help you or your child with.

These include counselling, naturopathic consultations or natural health and wellbeing coaching for general health, diet, immunity, intolerance, gut health, ASD/ADHD/anxiety .

Testing may be organised to gather more information, on DNA, MTHFR, Methylation, OAT, allergy and intolerance, Microbiome , Parasitology, Thyroid panels, Neurotransmitters, Histamine, Oxylates, Pyrolles and others, relevant to the patients signs and symptom.

​

NDIS participants- Im sorry, naturopathy and the above testing is not covered by NDIS funding but please chat with your Support Coordinator, LAC, ECEI person about my other services that you are interested in and let me know which areas they would like  me to help you with..... and I will, wholeheartedly.

NDIS worker orientation certificate, First Aid/CPR/Anaphylaxis/Asthma training, Covid-19 training, Blue card, Police check, Yellow card, QLD license. I have 13 years of experience in Autism and education/inclusion support and early intervention (DECS NT, HCWA & NDIS) and 20 years in naturopathy and bio-individual nutrition. I've trained with experts like Dr. Attwood and completed various certifications, including Bioceuticals DNA training. Although I qualified previously for NDIS registration based on my quals and experience, I dropped my registration and in order to reregister I need ACA membership so am currently completing a Diploma in Counselling with the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors and am a student member of the Australian Counselling Association. I have previously developed innovative holistic therapy programs and have successfully supported thousands of clients with this approach.

Hope you enjoy my website!   Please “like” and "share" 'til your hearts content. 

I look forward to being able to guide and support your child, self or family on your journey of discovery, recovery and more discovery and offer free 15 min introductory phone consultations. Contact me through my website to ask about my services and find out if Im the right person to help you. If not, I will guide you to someone who can.
