Children & Teens
Kids Love Acupuncture and Natural Medicine
Holistic Medicine has safely helped children for thousands of years.
It is a gentle and effective treatment method appropriate for the prevention of acute and chronic conditions. Holistic Pediatric healthcare is an important part of keeping our children strong in body, mind and spirit.
Needle-Free for Children
When treating children, various modalities can be used until they are ready to try acupuncture, including Colorpuncture (a non-invasive style of using colored lights to stimulate acupuncture points), electro pointer (painless stimulation device that is used instead of needles, Japanese style non-insertive acupuncture techniques, cupping, moxa, essential oils, shiatsu (a massage technique), reflexology, herbal therapy and diet therapy.
Discover the benefits of our many needle-free options.
Children benefit from the curative and holistic nature of Natural Medicine. Most often we see children’s vitality and spirit blossom more quickly than we had hoped for, bringing a balanced nature to their lives.
“Working with kids and teens has become a joy for me! I so enjoy engaging with kids to help them feel empowered in their bodies and emotions. As a parent of teens myself, I understand the need for support and at times having another adult work with our kids helps reduce the pressure they feel around communication and the need to feel like a young adult, and then at the next moment having the need to feel nurtured and supported like a young child. My treatments are supportive, bringing humor and clarity and resolve to what they show up with.”
