For children aged 3 months to 17 years. Dr Katie Molloy (TCM) is an experienced practitioner providing a gentle, natural treatment for the wide variety of common conditions kids present with. From coughs & colds, to persistent tummy issues, to trouble sleeping, to reducing stress in teenagers, and many things in between, Katie has your child covered. Having a young one of her own, means she's mastered the art of making treatments as gentle, easy and even fun as possible!

Fine, tiny needles (the width of 2 hairs) are gently inserted into the surface of the skin on a specially chosen Acupuncture point and immediately pulled out for kids aged 3 months to 7 years.

Kids aged 7- 12 years have them retained for 5-10 mins, always with the option to pull them out earlier if needed.

Kids aged 13 - 17 years have them retained for 5-10 mins, always with the option to pull them out earlier if needed.

- Additional gentle treats may be recommended for your child's symptoms and will only be done if you are happy to go ahead. These can include:

- Gentle cupping may be recommended on children over 1. Cups will only be on for a few seconds then removed for children under 5 and may be on for up to 10 mins on kids 5+ years.

-Gentle Gua sha with a spoon to clear heat or reduce pain (very light touch on younger infants).

-Some gentle massage and acupressure along the meridians.

- Herbs may be recommended. Our practitioners are nationally trained & registered Herbalists, including for pediatric care.

Cycle Health is a big focus in our clinic and what we're seeing recently is that teens/kids are getting their Periods earlier and the symptoms are more painful to deal with. This is where we come in! Acupuncture can be supportive in establishing a healthy Menstrual Cycle, especially early on.

Our experienced practitioners provide a natural, gentle treatment for teenagers to work with their Hormonal Health, and having young ones of their own, they have you covered!

Our lovely practitioners can work with young teens/kids by giving them the knowledge to understand their cycle and support any pain or discomfort they may be feeling as well as balancing hormones for a better future cycles.

Treatment includes Acupuncture (very fine pins, the width of 2 hairs) into specific points, lifestyle advice, diet advice, cupping (if needed) and potentially herbs and supplements.
Any treatment can be paused or stopped if there's any discomfort.
