Recommended resources can offer you a huge wealth of information. When a friend or family member or someone you trust recommends a particular book, online source or solution to your problem or concern, you are far more likely to take a look at it or try it than spend endless hours searching by yourself.
Below I list some of the World’s most inspiring and leading experts in food, health and wellness. Their books, sites and insight have helped me further my studies, and my own personal journey, and I believe they will yours.

PRODUCTS
Dr Bronner
I have been using Dr Bronner bar soaps for many years now and love all of the scents. Their products are made from pure vegetable oils, are free from synthetic detergents, are biodegradable, eco-friendly and fair trade.
Dr Bronner’s Baby Mild pure, unscented, organic bar soap is a good first addition to your baby or young child’s routine.
EatWell
Founder, Sarah Kerr offers a range of unique products for children, that include those that help mothers feed their families better. I particularly love and recommend to clients the Yumbox (stylish, leak-free lunch box),
Lunch Punch (cutters to make sandwiches more desirable and fun) and My Squeeze the reusable, eco-friendly silicone food storage and pouch.
Hylands
Since 1903 Hyland’s has been trusted for generations to provide safe, effective, homeopathic medicines for the entire family. Found on Amazon and in health outlets the entire range is impressive. Our family can’t live without the children’s Cold and Cough (day and night) formulas and the Earache Drops.
Lucy Bee .
Your one stop online shop for ‘natures perfect ingredients’. Also available in some health food shops and supermarkets Lucy Bee products include organic coconut oil, coconut cream, coconut sugar, salts, spice mixes and super-food powders.
Matys
Made by Maty’s mum when medicines didn’t work for her baby girl, the all natural, safe and affordable products are beautifully presented and really work. Matys Chest Rub with its heavenly scent is used by the young and old in our home, bringing cold relief quickly.
Trukid
My friends and I agree that the Sunny Days 30 SPF+ sunscreen performs really well for our children, even those with sensitive skin.
Weleda
Love, love, love all their mother and baby products, but particularly beneficial for my boys skin (and recommended to so many of my clients) is Baby Calendula Oil which you can use on damp skin every morning or evening after the bath or shower.
