Infants and young children are treated with a gentle, needle free approach yet typically have a fast and positive response. With little ones, my focus is on empowering parents to understand and be able to perform ancient healing techniques on their own infant or young child.I act as your guide in learning light massage, acupressure and other touch therapies that are both specific to the needs of your child and ones that are good for overall health and well being.
These sessions are useful for conditions such as allergies and asthma, cough, ear infections, digestive issues, skin conditions, mood regulation, ADHD & developmental challenges, anxiety and more.
For older children, I do incorporate the smallest hair thin acupuncture needles but can adjust treatment as desired by the patient or parent. Typically, 4-6 needles are placed on the body. Other therapies may include Shonishin which is rhythmic light tapping and massage or gentle cupping.
