Stacey N. Reinke is a Pediatric Pulmonologist based in Joondalup, WA, Australia. She works with babies, children, and families who need support with breathing and lung health, especially when problems start early in life.
In her day-to-day work, Stacey looks after kids with conditions like asthma and asthma in children. Asthma can come and go, and it often changes with seasons, colds, exercise, or allergies. Stacey helps families understand what is happening and what to watch for, so care feels more manageable at home.
Stacey also has a focus on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). This is a lung condition that can affect some babies, particularly those who needed extra help with breathing right after birth. It can be a worrying diagnosis for parents, and it often means follow-up and practical planning as the child grows.
Alongside BPD, Stacey works with children who have a history of asphyxia neonatorum. This means the baby faced a lack of oxygen around the time of birth. When this happens, health needs can be more complex, and breathing issues may be part of the bigger picture.
Appointments can be emotional, even when you’ve been through it before. Stacey’s approach stays calm and grounded. She pays attention to how symptoms show up in real life, like nighttime cough, breathing effort, or how a child copes during play. Over time, that helps build a clear plan for monitoring and treatment.
Because paediatric breathing care is not one-size-fits-all, care often includes thinking about how a child is developing, what triggers make symptoms worse, and what supports are most helpful for day-to-day life. In many cases, small changes can make a big difference, especially when families know what to do when symptoms flare up.
Stacey is also familiar with the long-term side of lung health. Kids don’t stay the same, and neither do their breathing patterns. So the focus stays on supporting steady improvement, with check-ins that fit the child’s stage of growth.
Stacey works in Joondalup and cares for local families in WA who are looking for a specialist in children’s lung health. If you’re dealing with asthma, BPD, or breathing concerns after a difficult start to life, she aims to make the next steps clear and easier to handle.
