A powerful discovery

After acquiring a BA in Sociology, Meredith Deasley worked in the commercial insurance industry for 10 years. It wasn't until she had two children, both with multiple food sensitivities and allergies, that she came to understand the power of food.

In 1999, Meredith gave birth to her first daughter, Taylor. Within 24 hours of her arrival, Taylor's reactions to foods became apparent. As a newborn, Taylor experienced bouts of projectile vomiting, colic, and constipation. As a toddler, Taylor became extremely constipated, to the point where she was in pain for the better part of 6 months. As a young girl, mood swings began to surface.

As a result of extensive research, Meredith learned that food sensitivities and allergies were the culprits and that Taylor, in fact, had problems with all of the common allergens.

In 2002, Meredith gave birth to her second daughter, Paige. Paige also had food sensitivities! Meredith approached the raising of this child very differently, as a result of her research on nutrition. She also tested what she had learned with Taylor, on Paige, to see if the teachings applied to more than one child. She was thrilled to find that the knowledge she had gained was sound!

Currently, Taylor can eat any food that she wants to without any major repercussions. In addition, Meredith has two extremely healthy and happy children. When Taylor has a cold, she has the sniffles or a cough for a day and then it's over. Neither daughter has ever had an infection or been prescribed drugs. Meredith needs no further proof of the power of food.

Benefitting others

Meredith's major focus has been on "food" since 1999. She is a Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner (R.N.C.P.), graduating from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN) in Richmond Hill, Ontario with Certificate of Merit. She specializes in pediatric nutrition. She has recently finished writing a book that will assist parents in tackling food sensitivities / allergies and help them heal their children.

Today, Meredith owns The Resourceful Mother, a company whose major function is to help other parents detect, manage and eliminate reactions to food. She regularly conducts seminars at Prenatal Plus Parenting Centre, community centres, schools, CSNN and out of her home. She teaches pediatric nutrition to future nutritionists at CSNN. Meredith also meets with parents on an individual basis, teaching them how to do things differently than the majority, in order to raise the healthiest, happiest, and most wholesome children possible. There has never been a family that The Resourceful Mother could not help.
