GENTLE TECHNIQUES. BIG, LASTING RESULTS
How Pediatric Acupuncture Works
Unlike adult acupuncture, pediatric treatments focus on comfort, connection, and stimulation of the body’s natural healing response without fear or pain. We may use:
Acupressure
Soft rollers, tuning forks, and magnets gently stimulate key points without puncturing the skin—perfect for infants, toddlers, and sensitive children.
Very Tiny Needles
Ultra-fine needles are gently tapped or quickly inserted for just a few seconds. Most children barely notice, and often even laugh through treatments!
Shonishin
A specialized, needle-free Japanese technique using soft tools to tap and brush along meridians—balancing energy and promoting relaxation.
Auricular Acupuncture
Tiny seeds or magnets placed on the ear’s acupoints help regulate emotions, sleep patterns, digestion, and more—all with a gentle touch.

We move at your child’s pace, explaining each step with kindness and respect so they feel safe, heard, and confident.
