Nutrition
Nutrition during a child’s first 1000 days set him up for life. It can determine how tall he’ll grow, how intelligent he will be, how strong his bones are and lower his risk for future illnesses like diabetes and obesity. This important time starts in pregnancy, and continues until they are 2 years of age, way after first foods are introduced. This is why it is so important that mum eats well during pregnancy and breastfeeding. And that we offer our little ones a healthy, balanced diet once they start to eat. We are here to help guide you through these times and help you choose the best foods for you and your child. Even on those days when only chocolate can provide the answer.

Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy studies the movement of tissues and structure of the body. Pregnancy is accompanied by a series of physical changes, structural, hormonal and emotional that can alter the physiology of the expectant mother, sometimes making childbirth painful and complex. An osteopath can check for proper alignment to ensure an easier labour and delivery as well as help induce labour without the use of pharmaceuticals when necessary.
Psychiatry / Counseling
Psychiatry and counseling with professionals who have special knowledge and experience of the challenges facing expat families, cleft lip and palate issues and non traditional family structures.
Addiction counseling
Substance abuse disorders such as alcoholism or drug addiction, and behavioral disorders, including gambling and internet addictions, only get worse if left untreated or addressed by an addiction specialist. Unfortunately, expats and expat youths are especially vulnerable due to the lack of social support, travel demands and stressors in work place or school. Lack of knowledge of resources and where to get help further compound the difficulties when dealing with addictions. Specialists in the field addictions and behavioral disorders help English-speaking and expat individuals and families with the expert resources, treatment options and residential and outpatient treatment services throughout Italy and Europe.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be used in many situations including a non pharmaciutical option to bring on labor.
