Pediatric Massage
Many parents enjoy the benefits of regular appointments with their TCM practitioner. It often surprises them to learn that the same healing modalities can be applied to their children with great success. In fact, healing and resilience is an area where infants, kids, and teens out-pace their adult counterparts. Anyone can observe the energy and robustness with which children’s bodies and minds develop. It is the same with how a child’s body responds to TCM.

Treatments also include pediatric massage called tuina which is something parents can learn to do at home. Guasha is yet another modality which can circulate qi and blood and support homeostasis.

Finally, I would like to stress the fact that my strength as a practitioner lies in my ability to assess each patient in a way that takes into account their unique disposition and situation. I personalize treatments and make lifestyle recommendations which best suit the individual to set them up for optimal health.
I do offer a free 15-minute phone consult should you have any questions or concerns you would like addressed before making an appointment.
Yours in health, Caroline
