There are many children in our society today that experience extremely traumatic and adverse childhood years. During my time with Child Protection I worked with many of these children and came to learn about many of their unique challenges in relation to their capacity to achieve normal developmental milestones, have secure emotional and psychological connections and experience a good quality of overall health.
Children who experience trauma during childhood and specifically those in out of home care are more likely to experience a broad range of chronic health conditions ranging through childhood and into adulthood as well as experience economic insecurity making it significantly harder for these children to obtain appropriate support in relation to their health (Ahrens, K. R., Garrison, M. M., & Courtney, M. E. (2014)).

As a Certified Holistic Health coach who has spent many years working in very high stress, traumatic and reactive environments I feel very passionately about the wellbeing of individuals and staff. I have seen the very direct connections between staff, mothers/parents and individuals who when are experiencing a high level of wellness they can operate at such a superior capacity than when they are depleted, out of balance and only just surviving. Prioritizing wellness in todays culture is a non negotiable and when we ignore it we soon see the flow on affect in our capacity to cope with work, family, life, health and basic life responsibilities.

While working in Child Protection, I held a unique role focused primarily on Permanent Care Assessments, where I developed extensive experience in conducting thorough assessments and analyses. My work centred on evaluating both the needs of children and the capacity of carers to support a permanent care case plan. Through this process, I gained a deep understanding of the critical importance of conducting these assessments with foresight, depth, and a child-centred approach.
A Permanent Care Assessment is more than just an evaluation – it is a pivotal opportunity to shape the foundation of a child's future. That foundation can either perpetuate trauma, provide healing and stability, or exist somewhere in between. Given the profound impact of these decisions, it is essential that practitioners approach assessments with intention, expertise, and a deep awareness of their lasting consequences.
At The Nourished Foundation, we are committed to conducting comprehensive and thoughtful Permanent Care Assessments. Our approach ensures open communication, experienced practitioners, and a meticulous review process, all aimed at securing the best possible future for these vulnerable children. By entrusting us with this responsibility, you are ensuring that each child has the best chance at a strong, stable, and nurturing foundation for the years ahead.
Twice a year The Nourished Foundation takes up to 4 families through a 12 week program focusing on empowering and educating around the key contributors to gut, behaviour and immune health in children. The information is relevant to all members of the family but will focus on the precious developmental years of childhood and understanding the deep importance of foundational nourishment from a holistic perspective.
This program will include a one-on-one session with parents at the commencement and the end of the program to establish the families unique needs and to finalize and summarize the education and growth.
Every second there are trillions of chemical reactions and interactions that occur in our amazing bodies. These interactions are reliant on and mediated by our basic nutritional choices and without age appropriate knowledge and empowerment around these... choices our children are not supported to thrive in the context of their environment.
For our children to thrive, we first must educate ourselves and deepen our understanding of the links, the connections and the powerful impact of our daily choices. This program will run through various topics including blood sugar and behaviour, nutritional deficiencies, environmental toxins, screen time and the power of nature, brain health and mental health, peaceful home environments, artificial colours, flavors and additives, neuroprotective foods, explaining the links between all these things and childhood development and wellbeing.

My name is Angela Jones, Certified Holistic Health Coach and Mother of 4 beautiful children all under 10. With a degree in Psychology, I spent 3 years running programs with the TAC and VIC Police in schools across Victoria targeting peer pressure, healthy behaviours and road safety. This was followed by 10 years extensive experience with the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing as a Senior Child Protection Practitioner. I feel very passionate about the root cause approach to healing, establishing a nourished foundation in childhood and that we have an abundance of tools to support ours and our children health naturally.
I truly believe that if our foundation is supported, our bodies are nourished, we are connected and balanced, it is then that we can thrive. This foundational health is so vital for our precious children through their fundamental development years and I believe all children deserve to be supported and empowered to thrive.
Our holistic approach recognises the complexities and challenges that occur within trauma environments and provides support through a lens that considers the whole child, their family, their communities and very importantly, their experiences.
Supporting and understanding childhood immunity from a holistic approach means that you are strengthening your child’s body from its very roots, having long term impact on their overall health.
