I help ALL children lead their best life. When kids feel good, everything gets better - behavior, learning, emotional regulation and social interactions. I use a wide variety of mainly needless techniques to address underlying imbalances in the body to help kids to be the best version of themselves. I treat a wide variety of chronic medical, developmental and feeding difficulties.

FAQs

What can pediatric acupuncture help?

Most things! Chinese medicine is a complete system of medicine. Examples of conditions treated:
allergies
anxiety
asthma
attention difficulties
behavior regulation
colds/flus
depression
developmental delay
digestive problems
dyspraxia and other movement difficulties
Emotional regulation
feeding difficulties
pain
Plagiocephaly- flat head
Sensory integration
Neurological conditions such as concussion, CP, post stroke or seizure, TBI

Does it hurt?

No. Treatment is child driven. Treatment is always about communicating with the child and working with their preferences. If they don't like something, I don't do it. Chinese Massage is my first choice of treatment, but I also use magnets, acupressure, low level laser, microcurrent, physiotape, shonishin (Japanese needleless technique) and brushing. Children generally really like their treatments and home programs.

How long does it take?

Evaluations are generally 1hour. Follow up sessions are generally 30-45min. For minor acute issues like colds/flu, 1 session and a home program might be enough. For chronic conditions, generally I recommend 5 sessions to get an idea or how children respond to treatment. For feeding and complex needs, treatment might be 6-12months.
