A clear plan and guidance for a family with two children.
Rootin' for Poopin'™ · Private Mentorship for Families
Still dealing with constipation, withholding, or accidents— after trying everything?
You’ve followed the advice. Tried the routines. Maybe things improved—until they didn’t. And you’re left asking the same question: Why is my child still stuck?
The missing piece may not be another product or another rule. It may be understanding how the pieces fit together for your child.

Does this sound familiar?
You're not looking for another tip. You're looking for a way forward.
01 / CONSTIPATION
Still relying on a bowel routine
You've followed the plan, but regular, comfortable bowel movements still feel out of reach.
02 / WITHHOLDING
Fear takes over
Clenching, hiding, stiffening, or avoiding the toilet when the urge comes.
03 / ACCIDENTS
The underwear struggles continue
Leaks, streaks, or accidents that affect your child's confidence and daily life.
04 / OVERWHELM
Too many disconnected answers
You've collected advice from everywhere and still don't know what to focus on first.
The WellieWay difference
It's not about adding more. It's about understanding what connects.
Medical treatment can be an important part of constipation care. Our role is to help families translate the bigger picture into practical, individualized changes at home.
What families often experience
One recommendation for food. Another for bowel movements. Another for bathroom habits. Another for behavior.
Each may have a purpose, but families can be left trying to figure out how everything fits together in everyday life.
It's exhausting to be the one connecting all the dots.
Our Conditions-First Method™
We consider the child's history, nourishment, daily rhythms, movement, environment, nervous system, and toileting patterns together.
Then we help parents implement an individualized approach, observe what changes, and adjust the home strategy as appropriate.
No mandatory supplement stack. No blanket restrictive diet. No one-size-fits-all protocol.
Our goal is to help your child work toward
comfortable, confident bowel habits—and help
you feel supported through the process.
What private mentorship actually means
You don’t need another checklist. You need someone who can help you make sense of your child’s story.
A chart can help with a routine. A supplement can be one tool. Neither can review years of history, connect daily patterns, or help you decide what to change when your child gets stuck again. That’s where private mentorship comes in.
01 / UNDERSTAND
We learn your child's story
We review the history, what you've already tried, current patterns, and the everyday challenges affecting your family.
02 / CONNECT
We build an individualized roadmap
We identify practical areas to address at home and organize the next steps into a plan your family can work with.
03 / SUPPORT
We guide the implementation
We help you observe patterns, make adjustments, and develop confidence in the process rather than trying to figure everything out alone.
Support for parents. Tools for kids.
Your child needs support, too—not another bathroom battle.
We make space for the child in the process, with playful WellieWonders characters and practical tools that support body awareness, participation, and everyday habits. You receive guidance on how to use the resources for your family—not just a stack of worksheets.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE GUIDANCE
Hi, I’m Nicole!
I’m a mom, the founder of WellieWay, and the person you’ll actually be working with.
Over the past several years, I’ve worked with hundreds of families dealing with childhood constipation, withholding, accidents, and the exhaustion of trying one thing after another.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Most parents don’t need another thing to try. They need help figuring out what they’re missing.
That’s why I created Rootin’ for Poopin’. I kept seeing families handed another recommendation, another product, or another routine—then left to piece it all together themselves.
I wanted something different. Not a generic checklist or a program where you’re left wondering what to do next. Personalized guidance from someone who gets to know your child, helps connect the pieces, and works alongside you as you make changes at home.
And because kids are part of this journey, too, we’ve created playful WellieWonders tools that help them get involved.
My hope is simple: a child who feels more comfortable and confident in their body, and a family that can spend less time worrying about poop and more time living.
If we work together, you’ll be working directly with me.

How much longer do you want to keep wondering what you’re missing?
You’ve already tried so much. If constipation, withholding, or accidents are still shaping your family’s days, tell us what’s been happening. We’ll review your child’s history and determine whether Rootin’ for Poopin’ private mentorship is a fit. You don’t have to piece everything together alone.
APPLY FOR A PRIVATE CASE AUDITThis is an application for a paid private mentorship, not an obligation to enroll.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Wondering if this could really be different for your child?
After everything you’ve tried, you deserve clear answers before taking the next step.
We’ve tried everything. How is this different?
Most families who reach out have already
tried a lot. Rather than handing you another
generic checklist, private mentorship looks
at your child’s history and day-to-day patterns
together—food and fluid rhythms, withholding,
bathroom experiences, movement, and the home
environment—and helps you make practical
changes with ongoing guidance.
What if my child is withholding, scared to poop, or only poops in a pull-up?
Those are exactly the kinds of challenges
families bring to Rootin’ for Poopin’.
We look at what’s happening around the
behavior as well as the bowel pattern,
and work toward realistic, child-appropriate
steps. The Case Audit helps determine
whether this support is appropriate
for your child.
My child has accidents or encopresis. Can we still apply?
Yes. Families dealing with stool accidents,
soiling, and long-standing constipation
are welcome to submit a Case Audit.
Because every child’s medical history
is different, we review the details before
deciding whether private mentorship is a fit.
What if we’re already seeing a pediatrician or GI specialist?
You can still apply. Rootin’ for Poopin’
is non-medical education and home
implementation support; it does not
replace your child’s pediatrician or
gastroenterologist. Medical diagnosis,
evaluation, medications, and treatment
decisions stay with your licensed clinician.
Will I have to stop my child’s medication or laxatives?
No. You should not stop or change
prescribed treatment based on this page.
Any medication changes need to be discussed
with your child’s clinician. Our role is to
support the daily routines and conditions
around your child’s bowel health alongside
appropriate medical care.
Is this another supplement program or elimination diet?
No. The approach is built around practical,
individualized changes at home—not a
required supplement stack or blanket
elimination diet. Recommendations depend
on your child’s needs and circumstances.
What do we actually receive with private mentorship?
You receive personalized guidance from
Nicole, help reviewing what’s happening
at home, practical next steps, and ongoing
support as you implement and adjust.
Family resources can include kid-friendly
WellieWonders tools, interactive routines
and charts, and a copy of Built, Not Fixed.
Exact support and resources are explained
before enrollment.
Will I be working directly with Nicole?
Yes. Nicole is the person who leads
the private mentorship and gets to know
your family’s situation. This is not a
self-paced course where you are left
to figure out the next step alone.
Does my child have to participate in calls or use the charts?
No. The work starts with understanding
your child and supporting you as the parent.
The WellieWonders and Daily Wins resources
are optional ways to make routines more
approachable for children when they’re
a good fit.
How long does it take to see progress?
That varies. A child’s history, medical needs,
withholding patterns, and family circumstances
all matter. Some families report changes
sooner than others, but no specific timeline
or outcome can be promised. We focus on
thoughtful, sustainable progress rather
than quick fixes.
My spouse is skeptical. Should we still apply?
Absolutely. It’s reasonable to have questions,
especially after spending time and money
on things that haven’t lasted. The Case Audit
is a chance to share your child’s story and
find out whether the approach makes sense
for your family. If invited to a call, both
decision-makers are welcome to discuss
the fit and commitment.
Is the Case Audit free? Does applying mean I have to enroll?
Submitting the Case Audit is an application,
not a commitment to enroll. Rootin’ for Poopin’
is a paid private mentorship. If your family
appears to be a fit, you’ll be invited to
discuss the support, investment, and next
steps before making a decision.
What happens after I submit the Case Audit?
You’ll tell us about your child’s history
and what you’ve already tried. Nicole reviews
the application. If private mentorship may
be appropriate, you’ll receive an invitation
to speak further. Not every application
leads to an invitation or enrollment.
What if I’m not sure my child is a fit?
You don’t need to figure that out on your own.
Share the situation honestly in the Case Audit,
including any medical concerns and what daily
life looks like right now. We’ll use that
information to assess whether this is the
right kind of support.
You don’t have to know what’s been missing.
You just have to tell us what’s been happening. Share your child’s story and we’ll review whether private mentorship could be a fit for your family.
