Pediatrics

Oriental Medicine and Homeopathy are both very safe and effective treatment modalities for children and infants. Treating children with these natural therapies can not only benefit their health today, but also build a strong foundation for their future health and wellbeing.

Some of the most common conditions treated include:

  • coughs
  • allergies
  • fever
  • asthma
  • ADD and ADHD
  • bed wetting
  • digestive disorders
  • colic
  • sleep disorders
  • failure to thrive
  • pediatric pain
  • symptoms associated with Autistic Spectrum Disorder

Pediatric Acupuncture

Pediatric acupuncture is gentle, effective, and subtle, and is very different from the style of acupuncture typically used on adults. The most effective form of pediatric acupuncture is a style known as Shonishin which developed over 400 years ago in Japan. The treatment consists of pressing, rubbing, tapping, or light scraping of the skin to provide a gentle stimulation.  In many cases a needle is not inserted at all but is instead lightly touched to the skin. Generally there is simply no need to insert a needle because children are so full of energy that they react very quickly to the stimulus in a very positive way.

Pediatric acupuncture treatment is in essence a form of bodywork that utilizes specialized Shonishin tools to balance the child’s energy and stimulate acupuncture points. Since this is non-invasive and non-threatening to the child, the children often enjoy their treatments and look forward to future treatments.
Other treatment modalities used with children include massage, herbal supplements, and dietary recommendations.

Pediatric Homeopathy

Homeopathic medicine is safe, effective, and gentle; a perfect choice for your child or infant. Homeopathy can raise the immunity of your children to help deal with illness throughout their childhood. It can also help prevent illness and give support through difficult periods of their life. With Homeopathy, children’s health can improve and chronic conditions often clear up completely and never come back. It is safe with no harmful side effects. Homeopathy cures by looking at the whole individual and can be effective in unexpected ways.

Of all of the people in my life, I feel most seen and supported by Elizabeth. She listens to, intuits, and understands her clients at a very deep spiritual, physical, as well as psychological level.  Elizabeth has supported me in listening to and following my own intuition and inner knowing, and has helped me become more whole, present and well. Her work is powerful, profoundly helpful, and healing. She has had extensive training in many different healing modalities, as well as meditation and spiritual study, and she brings all of this experience to her patients and teachings in very accessible ways.  She is a very grounded, down to earth and relatable human who practices and implements all of the techniques she uses to support her clients in her roles as a powerful healer, spiritual teacher and mother.  Elizabeth has been my primary support for recovering from multiple chronic physical issues, as well as through divorce and family of origin issues, and has helped me learn how to better ground and nourish myself in all my roles at home and at work. She nourishes my psychological and spiritual growth and continues to support my life in many profound and unexpected ways. I consider Elizabeth to be one of my greatest teachers.
