Pediatric Reflexology

We love our pediatric clients! Amy has worked with children from newborns only minutes old to college students leaving "the nest." Babies, toddlers and children up to 9 or 10 years of age are typically suited to a half hour of Reflexology, older children will often request a full hour of Reflexology.

Sessions always focus on the child as a whole person and the Reflexologist will work reflexes associated with every part, organ and gland. These gentle techniques induce relaxation, support the child right where he is at, and can be a powerful balancing tool when the body is showing signs of imbalance.

Reflexology and Babies

Sessions can be given in a car seat, while mom is breastfeeding, in mom's lap, or in a stroller. We get creative!

Parents have brought their infants in for general wellness, including:

Colic
Reflux, constipation and other digestive complaints
Teething
Feeding issues (sometimes paired with a session for mom to help with lactation and bonding)
Sleep

We're keen to show parents/caregivers how to work on baby's feet, hands and ears to keep the benefits going at home.

Reflexology and Toddlers

Our most active clients love to plop down on the rug and play with our blocks and toys while they receive their session.

Parents like to bring their toddlers in for sessions to help with:

Bedwetting
Eating problems
Digestive complaints
Ear infections
Viral infections

School & Development

Some children don't measure up the same to others and this can be a cause of great stress for parents and the child.

We've seen school aged children diagnosed with:

Developmental disorders
Learning disorders
Behavioral disorders
Anxiety disorders

Teaching Children Self-Care

Reflexology lends itself beautifully to a modality many children can replicate at home. Some of our clients have been applying self-help Reflexology to their own feet, hands and ears since they were 24 months old!

In a fast-paced society some parents feel it is important to instill relaxation and stress coping tools early on in a child's life so he can manage stressors as he ages.

Preteens & Adolescents

Teenagers love their Reflexology sessions, and their parents can see the difference!

Teens come in for Reflexology to help cope with:

Acne
Body image
Sports
Exams and heavy curriculum loads
Social life
Autoimmune disorders
Depression and self-harm
High stress - divorce, loss
Autism and learning disorders
Hormone imbalances

Office Policies for Minors

It is a delight to work with our younger audiences! We can accommodate infants through teens but simply ask that all children under the age of 18 be accompanied by his/her parent or legal guardian at ALL times.

Our office is family friendly - we have a collection of toys and DVDs appropriate for young children. Infants in arms and car seats are welcome in the treatment room. Children without an appointment will need a guardian in attendance during your session. We do not provide childcare.
