Pediatric acupuncture for babies, children, and teens.

Every child is different, and we meet each one exactly where they are. Some children are completely at ease with acupuncture — even at a young age — and do beautifully with the very thin needles we use, placed and removed in a moment so they can keep right on wiggling and playing. Others would rather skip needles altogether, and for them we have a whole gentle toolkit: shonishin (a Japanese, non-insertive technique), light acupressure and massage, soft gua sha, and warming moxa to calm, balance, and strengthen a child's system. Safe, child-friendly herbs often continue the care gently at home.

Our pediatric sessions are a full hour. A child's treatment itself is usually short — little ones respond quickly — but the hour gives us room to do more. We'll often treat you, the parent, in the same visit, and we always take time to talk through Chinese dietary therapy and the small lifestyle changes that support your child's health between visits.

We use this medicine to help with:

• Sleep trouble, restlessness, and nightmares

• Digestion — colic, reflux, tummy aches, and constipation

• Frequent colds, ear infections, and low immunity

• Allergies, asthma, and lingering coughs

• Eczema and skin irritation

• Anxiety, big feelings, and focus

• Growing pains and sports strains

• Bedwetting and teething

Most of all, we want your child to feel safe — a calm, playful space, at a pace they set. Many little ones who arrive nervous leave smiling and asking to come back.
