Paediatric Acu-treatments
I am passionate about paediatric acupuncture and my sessions are more than just treatments - they are educational opportunities. Each session is designed to empower parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills to support their child's health through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
For those who prefer needle-free options, I offer effective alternatives, including cupping, moxibustion, and acupressure. These techniques are not only used in treatment but also taught to parents and caregivers, enabling them to continue fostering their child’s well-being at home. My goal is to provide gentle, effective care while equipping families with lasting tools for health and healing.
What to expect
Before I meet you and your child in person we will have a phone consultation of around 30 minutes at no extra cost. Here we will discuss your child's main complaint and I will ask about all aspects of their health such as sleep, appetite and much more.
All sessions are child-led and no treatment modality will be used without their consent. I will show them all my tools and techniques, demonstrating on myself or on you (if willing!) and together we'll work on figuring out a treatment plan that they find enjoyable.
The needles used - when allowed - are ultra thin and are tapped in no deeper than 2 millimeters. There is usually no sensation at all and no manipulation of the needle as in adult acupuncture. The needles may be immediately removed or stay in for short periods.
I have a wide selection of stick-on tattoos for the brave patient!
