COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE FOR CHILDREN

Community Acupuncture really means that multiple children are able to be seen at the same time with an Acupuncturist within the same room.

We have 2 beds in one room carefully positioned with a divider between them, a seat for one adult guardian and each bed is accompanied by one specialised Paediatric Acupuncturist who attends carefully to only one child at a time. This means prices can be set lower, developing more inclusivity while two children can receive 1:1 care with a practitioner.

Care is attentive and child focused while developing community relationships. Children and families are able to engage with one another while recieveing gentle Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine based health support.

The community style practice gives children confidence to see other children receiving Acupuncture treatments and further normalising ancient practices such as Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and herbal medicine.

While for some, Acupuncture for children is new concept traditionally in China all children including babies would receive Acupuncture and have done for thousands of years.

At Little Jewels we believe a treatment for a child can make for a life of greater health, vitality and happiness to come.

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy appointments for children are available for acute or chronic related conditions. An acute related appointment will be scheduled for 15mins to give fast relief for the child suffering acute pain, emotion, infection, fever, vomiting, cough earache, conjunctivitis, acute skin conditions and many others.

A health condition of chronic nature involves an initial appointment for 90 minutes. The initial consultation is very thorough and in-depth. We will look at your child's medical and family history, pregnancy and childbirth, and your child's current physical symptoms. We will also talk about your emotional challenges and the stressful situations for the child. We will discuss health goals for your child and changes we can expect with homeopathy.

After the session, Ania will prepare a healing plan for your child and unique healing remedies. These will be ready for you to start within a few days. Homeopathic remedies create healing ripples in the body that remove emotional and physical patterns to get your child back into balance.

When you book a session, we will send you a questionnaire. Please fill it in and bring it with you or send it to Ania.

Homeopathic remedies taste nice making them easy to take for children. They are coming in the form of little white pillules which kids love or liquid remedy, which are easy to take.

YOGA THERAPY (ages 15+)

Yoga Therapy is a combination of individualised Yogic practices, postures and even meditation based tools which empower your child to improve their condition through self-action. To cultivate an attitude which enables them to engage in life with stability in mind and emotions, and which restores balance to the body.

This multidimensional approach identifies and recognises the interrelationship between the gross level of the physical body and the subtle layers that lie beyond, which effect energy levels, mood, thoughts, behaviour and relationships. It is a structured process (typically requiring 3, one-on-one sessions) resulting in a specifically tailored daily practice to implement, which actively supports agreed positive health outcome(s). No background in Yoga is required, however a keen interest to creating new habits, is essential.

ACUTONICS

Acutonics is a health modality that uses finely attuned tuning forks that behold healing planetary frequency. Each tuning fork has an exquisite sound that is like nothing else. They are peaceful, angelic and deeply relaxing.

We use only the highest quality tuning forks and apply their tones to meridians and Acupuncture points in a systematic way to maintain a therapeutic treatment for each individual child. Our highly trained Acutonics practitioner, will apply specific frequencies to specific points to balance and sooth any disharmony in the body.

Children benefit from Acutonics specifically for relaxation and nervous system related conditions. As well as digestive conditions, ear nose and throat conditions, pain, sleep conditions, restlessness, hyperactive mind, ancestral or past life interference. A child consultation lasts for 1 hour and follow up consultations are available for shorter 45 minute appointments.

CRANIOSACRAL

In the first years of a baby’s life the skull is still forming. During child birth the skull naturally experiences compression and during a long labour or with forceps or any additional birth trauma we may see the baby or child experience challenging implications later in life.

This can show up as difficulty settling, difficulty nursing, sleeping and later in life this can show up as behavioural difficulties and learning difficulties, as well as physiological alignment issues. The best time to be able to help is during the first 7 years of life.

Our Craniosacral therapist Alani Klein will meet you and your child, very softly apply hands on key areas of the neck, skull and pelvis to bring about gentle alignment.
