donation-based kids clinic

In the Full Moon Kids Clinic you can learn about pediatric services and introduce your baby or child to holistic eastern health care in a gentle 10 minute wellness treatment.

Kate Lumsden, licensed acupuncturist, certified ayurvedic practitoner, & mother, offers Japanese non-needle style (Shonishin) wellness treatments to babies and children in the community seasonally around the time of the Full Moon.

Shonishin uses simple tools to gently stimulate acupuncture points and meridians on the surface of the skin to harmonize energy, strengthen the child’s immune system, and calm their nervous system.

This is a great opportunity to keep your child in good health or get your child into better health. If your child has any cold or flu symptoms currently, please reach out to Kate to schedule an initial consultation or wait until they are well to come to the Full Moon Kids Clinic.

Unable to make the Kids Clinic? You’re welcome to book at free 15 minute call to learn more about how Eastern Medicine may fit your health goals for you or your child.

Your time with Kate will include an introduction to pediatric treatment (a fun tour of all Kate’s tools for kids) and a short 7-10 minute treatment. Friendly tools will be used to massage and stimulate certain acupuncture points and meridians. Because this is so gentle most children become very relaxed and enjoy it. The child should wear loose fitting clothes that can be pulled up to access the arms, legs, abdomen, and back.  (Depending on the comfort level of the child, they can choose to remove their shirt and just wear shorts)

Parents and children will get a feel for Kate’s approach and some of the tools she makes use of in her Pediatric Acupuncture practice. These treatments are a wonderful warm up for if you’re considering bringing your child to see Kate for teething, ongoing colds, digestive struggles, or behavioral challenges and more: the child gets to know Kate & the space which makes future treatment even easier & more effective.

Note: The Full Moon Kids Clinic is to promote health in children who are already well. If your child has cold or flu symptoms currently, please refrain from bringing them to the FMKC and schedule an initial consultation instead so that Kate can support your child’s healing with herbal medicine and custom recommendations.
