Gently guiding babies and kids through development so they can thrive and shine

 

Pediatric Care

Our approach to pediatric care draws on many effective, holistic techniques to prevent common childhood ailments and gently guide your child through their development so that they can thrive and shine.

We try to meet each child wherever they may be and ensure that they are comfortable and relaxed during treatment. Depending on the age, temperament, and constitution of your child we may use a variety of treatment modalities. We offer painless needle-free treatment options and specialized pediatric herbal formulas.

Alternatives to traditional acupuncture include a specialized pediatric acupuncture system called Shonishin, using non-inserted needles, as well as cupping, gua sha, bodywork, massage, and lasers. Pediatric Herbal formulas are safe and made just for kids. We can also address any changes to diet or lifestyle that may be helpful. Older kids often benefit from adding a bit of mindfulness and meditation to our sessions as well. We work collaboratively with pediatricians to expand the range of gentle, holistic health care options to keep kids healthy.
