About Dr. Masson
Dr. Leila Masson is a paediatrician and public health specialist interested in disease prevention through healthy nutrition and life style. Her goal is to help her two sons and her husband – and all her patients – to live in optimal health.
She is also a lactation consultant and helps many families to start their children out on the perfect diet by supporting breastfeeding.
Dr. Masson provides biomedical treatment for children on the autistic spectrum, a wholistic approach to behaviour and learning challenges, as well as assessment and treatment of children with allergies and other paediatric health problems. Dr. Masson’s aim is to treat the whole child, not just the symptom, and to support the family on their path to better health.
