Early Support Makes a Lasting Difference

Childhood and adolescence are seasons of rapid growth and learning — times when nutrition, habits, and environment can have a powerful influence on a child’s overall well-being.

I help parents understand how everyday food and lifestyle choices can nurture focus, calm, and confidence during these key developmental years.

My goal is to equip families with simple, practical tools that complement existing therapies and help children reach their fullest potential — one gentle step at a time.

 

 

NICE TO MEET YOU!

Hello and welcome! I'm Natsayi Dunira, a dedicated Registered Naturopathic Nutritionist with a heartfelt focus on supporting children with complex autism. My journey into naturopathic nutrition began with a simple belief: the correct protocols and strategies can transform our children's physical health and improve their mental and emotional well-being. I have seen first-hand the power of nutrition with my son and many other clients I have worked with over the years. I hope you got to read my son's journey and our success stories.

 My approach is grounded in empathy, science, and a deep respect for each child's individuality. I believe in working closely with families, educators, and healthcare providers to create a supportive network around each child. Together, we explore the power of naturopathic nutrition, making small, sustainable changes that lead to lasting improvements.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I’m Natsayi Dunira, a Holistic Registered Naturopathic Nutritionist with a special interest in brain and behavioural nutrition. I specialise in supporting children with developmental, behavioural, and learning challenges — including those on the autism spectrum.

My approach blends naturopathic wisdom with modern nutritional science to create gentle, practical plans tailored to each child’s unique needs. I believe in using natural, holistic methods to nurture balance, focus, and wellbeing.

Through education and guidance, I empower families with the knowledge and tools to better understand their child’s needs, create calm through nutrition and lifestyle changes, and support their long-term growth and potential.

Why Nutrition?

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Let food be thy medicine.”

I believe food has the power to influence how we think, feel, and function — especially for children with behavioural, learning, or developmental challenges, including autism.

Using the latest nutritional science and functional-medicine principles, I design tailored nutrition and lifestyle plans that support healthy brain function, balanced energy, and emotional wellbeing.

Each plan is individualised, focusing on strengthening the body’s natural ability to restore balance and thrive.

Optimise Brain Health

A naturopathic nutritional approach can play an important role in supporting brain development and function — especially when combined with lifestyle strategies that encourage neuroplasticity.

For many families, this holistic framework brings noticeable improvements in focus, learning, and daily wellbeing, offering renewed hope and confidence on their child’s journey.

We worked with Natsay; when it was rough, my son was very aggressive, and as he grew older, it was difficult to follow any protocol with him. Natsayi was kind and empathetic; sometimes, I would panic out of exhaustion, and she would repeat the instructions until I understood what I needed to do. We found alternative treatments that helped relax my son—his favourite was the Epsom foot baths. Sleep got better, and aggression disappeared. I cannot recommend her enough.

We have seen many practitioners over the years for my son, and when we finally consulted with Natsayi, it all made sense why we had not seen gains before, as not many emphasized the diet. She reviewed all lab results, and we agreed on a plan for him. Within three months, we saw some amazing gains; one that stood out was constipation disappeared as this was his biggest issue. My son is doing well and is now in a school where he Is thriving. We remain on the diet and a few supplements to support him.

My son was 5 when we first saw Natsayi, we really did not know what autism was and what was the reason my son was making the noises he was making. We implemented the diet which was very difficult for us. But Natsayi encouraged us to do stay on the diet as a family. We are so happy that we did, our whole family is doing well. My son has started talking. Because of our limited finances we cannot do much but what we are doing is giving us good results, he is sleeping well, plays with other children and he is no longer constipated.

Who can we help? 


I work with families raising children with complex developmental, behavioural, and learning needs — including autism.

Many of the children I support experience challenges such as sensory sensitivities, selective eating, anxiety, or difficulty with focus and communication. My role is to guide parents in understanding what may be driving these struggles and how nutrition and lifestyle support can bring more calm, balance, and connection into daily life.
