Baby, Infant and Children Skin Care Package
If you and your child are in this perpetual merry-go-round then it is time to start again from the ground up.
The first appearance of a skin condition in babies, infants, and children often leads to confusion. What is the rash that has appeared? Is it contagious? Will it pass? A quick Google search, or WhatsApp message to family members, tends to provide a swift diagnosis.
Irritable rashes like eczema can pass in time, but when the irritation grows for your child, and the frustration builds that the over-the-counter creams just are not working, it can drive parents insane with worry.
Late-night Googling to uncover what can sooth your child’s rash or the wailing cries from the nursery as your baby struggles to sleep from the discomfort put you and the family in a sense of desperation.
Trips to the GP result in a stronger cream to try and the merry-go-round begins. GP visit, stronger cream, referral, dermatologist, even stronger cream…the rash remains, your child is still in discomfort, and your stress levels are reaching breaking point.
Naturopathic medicine is a model of healthcare that strives to understand what is causing the ailment, remove obstacles to cure, and work with the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
If you and your child are in this perpetual merry-go-round then it is time to start again from the ground up.
What skin condition is your child experiencing?
The eczema your child is experiencing is typically called either ‘atopic dermatitis’ or ‘contact dermatitis’.
Atopic dermatitis is a very itchy, red, dry, scaly patch on the skin that can also become inflamed, wet, and oozy. You can spot them on the cheeks and around the mouth, behind the ears or on the scalp, and on arms and legs. You may have heard it can be an inherited gene, but there will usually be a trigger that creates the reaction. This can be caused by:
Allergies like dust mites, pollen, grasses, mould, and pet dander.
Sensitive reactions to mealtimes, often when new foods are introduced to babies.
Contact dermatitis is the more common eczema condition found in babies and children. Folds of skin can appear behind the ears, on the neck, legs, and arms, where moisture gets trapped and irritates the skin. It can also be caused by a reaction to body care products, laundry products, or other environmental toxins or pollutants.
Even if you don’t have a diagnosis, skin is not just skin deep.
Rather than spending another long night on Google, I have a compatibility report that I have included as part of my skincare package. This non-intrusive test helps you to identify over 600 different bathrooms, laundry & kitchen products, as well as common foods, which could be causing the adverse reaction to your child’s skin.
What’s Included?
In this package we get to work right away to identify the allergies causing your child’s skincare condition.
I will also provide a skincare treatment product to relieve the symptoms for your child. This will be a natural product to rejuvenate and maintain healthy skin that can be used anywhere on the body. It uses the pawpaw fruit, the skin's natural friend, which is packed full of vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes.
Each cream comes with a month’s supply. You can order an extra supply each month if you require.

Have you tried pawpaw cream, calamine, steroid cream?
Eczema is an allergic response by the immune system and if not properly treated, it can become more severe and lead to other immune reactions. Children who develop either atopic dermatitis or contact dermatitis often develop other allergies such as hay fever, food sensitivities, or even asthma
Topical steroid cream treats the symptoms and not the cause. The creams can often drive the skin condition deeper and the steroids themselves can pass through into the bloodstream. They have the potential for a wide range of side effects, including skin thinning and it is a short-term treatment that isn’t foolproof.
Firstly, because it only suppresses inflammation, the causes of eczema remain unchanged. This usually means that eczema patients need to undergo several rounds of treatment. Typically, each recurring cycle of eczema is worse than the previous one. Often the default setting by GPs and dermatologists is to just keep on increasing the dosage. This is not doing anything to treat the actual cause, but instead the prolonging of medical treatment which has no real benefit to the child in the long run.
So, when the creams don’t work it becomes a frustrating cycle of consultations and stronger creams without any progress.
Many skin-care conditions are brought on by allergens your baby or child has been exposed to. Naturopaths like myself look to understand the cause of health concerns while working with the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Rather than spending another long night on Google, I have a compatibility report that I have included as part of my skincare package. This non-intrusive report helps you to identify over 500 different bathroom, laundry & kitchen products, as well as common foods, which could be causing an adverse reaction to your child’s skin.
I also provide a simple hair test which is incredibly easy to do for your child. By taking a sample of hair and posting it back to me, we can stop the exhausting merry-go-round that you are on and understand what is causing the skincare condition.
How tiring is it to look on Google and try an elimination diet over, and over, again?
The ever-changing shopping lists, hard-to-find ingredients, and new recipes cause frequent headaches, with little sign of progress in your child’s skincare condition.
We can cut straight to the chase with a simple hair test. Whatever the cause is, rather than worrying yourself sick trying to figure out which diet to try or what different conditioner to use, we can get to the heart of the problem in one fell swoop.
My Story
You are probably wondering who I am and why I am doing this, so let me share some personal details with you.
My name is Shonelle Siegmann, and I am a Perth Naturopath based in Wellard, Western Australia. I enjoy working with singles and couples to conceive a baby naturally.
I also assist with reproductive health in women and men, as well as working with families to identify and support the body to heal.
I am all about helping my clients achieve their health goals, providing them with realistic advice which is very effective for a wide array of health conditions and lifestyle concerns.
Becoming a naturopath was a life-changing decision for me, and in my postpartum with my son, I soon discovered that it is not just a career but a way of life. I have some infertility issues, a long history of menstrual and stress. It took a few months to fall pregnant with my son so in my post-partum, I looked at my genetics and found out I have methylation issues such as MTHFR and PEMT). My second pregnancy, ended in a sudden miscarriage and in my third pregnancy had hyperemesis gravidarum again which is debilitating. I had breastfeeding issues and noticed my son’s skin was rashy when eating things like tomatoes and his digestive system would react with fruits like oranges and dairy as well as grain-based products.
Instead of trying everything your friends or family did, you deserve it to actually make parenthood a little simpler, we are often met with varying opinions, unsolicited advice, late nights and odd health conditions you’ve never dealt with before and unhappy child with irritated skin.
In this package, I have simplified it as you are likely like me, tired and over it and your child showing clear signs that something isn’t right.
This is a skincare package that understands what is causing your child’s skincare ailment. Eczema is a skin-care disorder that has numerous causes and so each child needs to be treated in a holistic manner but even if you don’t have a diagnosis, skin is not just skin deep.
That’s why it’s so important to undertake biocompatibility testing and understand which toxins could be in your home that’s causing the reaction. Once we understand what is causing the skin reaction, we can take a closer look at recipes and diet information that works best for you and your child.
I know it’s been a hard journey for you so far, and you are probably at your wit’s end. But the solution isn’t to keep on applying steroid creams or over-the-counter medicine as it’s only treating the symptoms, not the cause.
My skincare package is your first step back to normality.
