Integrative Pediatric & Family Services
in Palo Alto

Comprehensive, development-focused care for children and families — serving Palo Alto, the San Francisco Bay Area,

and telehealth throughout California and Oregon.

​

At the center of this practice is one guiding principle:

Children deserve thoughtful, root-cause investigation — not just symptom management.

​

As a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Tediana Torrens provides integrative pediatric care that combines thorough medical assessment with individualized natural and conventional therapies. Care is collaborative and adjunctive, working alongside your child’s pediatrician and care team.

Below you’ll find the core areas of support offered through the practice.

Pediatric Wellness

Foundational care to support healthy growth, resilient immune systems, and optimal development

For families local to Palo Alto and the Bay Area, in-person visits include comprehensive well-child evaluations and physical exams. Telehealth visits are available throughout California and Oregon for adjunctive pediatric support.

 

Pediatric Wellness includes:

  • Well-child developmental visits

  • Nutrition and growth optimization

  • Digestive concerns

  • Eczema and skin conditions

  • Allergies and immune support

  • Viral infections, rashes and colds

​

Preventive care is about building strong physiologic foundations — supporting the microbiome, immune system, and nervous system during critical developmental windows.

Neurodevelopment & Behavioral Health

Root-cause support for brain development, attention, mood, and behavior

Behavior is often a signal. Neurodevelopmental challenges deserve careful, physiologic investigation.

 

This area includes support for:

  • ADHD and executive function challenges

  • Autism spectrum support

  • Sensory processing concerns

  • Anxiety and mood regulation

  • Behavioral dysregulation

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Tics and neurologic irritability

 

Evaluation may include assessment of inflammation, nutrient status, gut-brain axis health, immune activation, environmental exposures, and nervous system regulation.

Care is collaborative and may involve coordination with pediatricians, therapists, psychiatrists, and educational teams.

Complex Chronic Pediatric Conditions

Methodical, collaborative care for persistent or medically complex concerns

Some children experience chronic or relapsing conditions that require deeper evaluation and expanded care coordination.

​

This area includes:

  • PANS / PANDAS

  • Mold-related illness

  • Chronic infections

  • Immune dysregulation

  • Autoimmune tendencies

  • Persistent gastrointestinal dysfunction

  • Post-viral syndromes

​

Complex cases are approached systematically, evaluating immune function, inflammation, microbiome balance, environmental exposures, and neurologic regulation.

Preconception & Early Foundations

Optimizing health before pregnancy and supporting development in the earliest years

Preconception care focuses on physiologic optimization — not fertility treatment - through the lens of optimal early life health.

​

Through structured assessment and personalized intervention, care may include:

  • Nutrient repletion

  • Metabolic health optimization

  • Hormone balance support

  • Microbiome assessment

  • Inflammation reduction

  • Environmental exposure mitigation

​​

Early foundations influence lifelong health.

Vaccine Counseling & Individualized Planning

Evidence-informed education to support thoughtful decision-making

Families approach vaccines with a range of perspectives and questions.

 

This service provides:

  • A 60-minute in-depth consultation

  • Personalized review of medical and family history

  • Individualized risk-benefit discussion

  • Additional physician time to create a customized vaccination roadmap

 

Vaccines are not administered in-office. Children must maintain a primary care pediatrician for routine immunizations and standard pediatric services. This service supports clarity, collaboration, and informed choice.

Adult Integrative Care

Supporting parents and adult family members in digestive and hormonal health

While pediatrics is the primary focus of the practice, adult family members may be seen for:

  • Digestive disorders and microbiome imbalance

  • Reflux and irritable bowel patterns

  • Perimenopausal and menopausal hormone support

​

Parental health often influences a child’s healing environment.
