Helping Kids Thrive with Root-Cause Medicine
Root-cause pediatric care for whole-child wellness.
At Nesting Pediatrics, we believe that every child deserves to thrive—not just get by. Our pediatric functional medicine approach focuses on root causes, not just symptoms, to help children grow into their healthiest, happiest selves. We take the time to understand each child’s unique story, prioritizing prevention, healing, and long-term wellness rather than quick fixes.
We also believe in parent autonomy, and work with you to help you make the best decisions for your child.
We blend science-backed functional medicine with compassionate, thorough care, giving families the tools and knowledge they need to support their child’s vitality, balance, and growth. Our goal is to empower children and their families with personalized care that nurtures health from the inside out.

Developmental Concerns

Our Approach
At Nesting Pediatrics, we take a different path—one that sees the whole child, not just the symptoms.
Our root-cause, functional medicine approach is built on curiosity, compassion, and connection. We start by listening closely to each child’s story, understanding the physical, emotional, and environmental factors that may be contributing to their health concerns.
Whole-child assessment
A Whole Child Assessment (WCA) is a screening tool used to identify potential risks to a child's well-being, focusing on their overall development and well-being, not just academic achievement.
Root-cause diagnostics
Root-cause diagnostics, or root cause analysis (RCA), is a systematic approach to identifying the underlying reasons for a problem or system failure.
Family empowerment
the process of helping families develop the knowledge, skills, and resources to manage their child's health and well-being, ultimately improving their quality of life.
Ongoing support
providing emotional stability, establishing healthy routines, and fostering a positive parent-child relationship.

Loretta partners closely with families and caregivers, fostering connection and trust. Whether she is integrating mindfulness into a care plan, supporting a child through emotional distress, or addressing complex developmental needs, her work is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practice, and the belief that every child has the potential to thrive.
