Holistic Pediatric Care for Happy, Healthy Babies and Kids

As a parent, you want your child to be happy and healthy. Songbird’s holistic therapies help young people of all ages thrive, from newborns to toddlers to “big kids” to teens.

If your baby or child is suffering, physically or emotionally, it’s frustrating. You spend a lot of time and effort trying to make it better, but sometimes nobody – not even your pediatrician – seems to have a solution.

I get it — I’m a mom myself! — and I can help. My 100% natural, medication-free pediatric therapies help your child overcome physical or emotional imbalances so they feel great again. I use a gentle but powerful combination of painless techniques; simple nutritional guidance; safe, effective herbal medicine designed for kids; and at-home tools that you can use anywhere, anytime.

I love working with kids and they respond quickly and beautifully to pediatric Chinese medicine. In my clinic, I use a wide range of non-needle tools: acupressure, painless laser, cupping, guasha, and essential oils. Pediatric acupuncture is also available for kids who are open to it.

No matter what, I always respect your child’s boundaries because I want them to feel safe and respected when working with me.

Songbird's safe, effective blend of natural therapies works for all kinds of pediatric issues, including:

Colic in newborns and young babies
Frequent colds/chronic low immunity
Chronic ear infections
Allergies and asthma
Unexplained stomach pain

Frequent loose stool or constipation
Eczema or other stubborn skin rashes
Poor sleep
Frequent crying or tantrums
Anxiety, depression, or other mood issues

Why Songbird's Pediatric Treatments Are So Powerful...

I tap into your child's innate healing power

Babies and kids are growing and developing rapidly. Their bodies are very intelligent, but as they change, they sometimes need support to return to a balanced state. When a child’s body receives the resources it needs, it will naturally shift into a more regulated, healthier state.

I address the root cause

My process includes finding and treating the actual root CAUSE of your child’s issues. Every child is unique, so I never use a cookie cutter approach. Addressing exactly what is going on with them means that these therapies often work when other things did not, and can also prevent issues from coming back in the future.

I keep it simple

I’m a parent myself. I know you’re busy and don’t have time to juggle a million therapies and supplements. My simple solutions can be easily incorporated into most families’ lives.

I give you helpful tools

Parenting is a 24/7 job. You need support all the time, not just when you’re in my office. I’ll teach you simple, effective tools you can use to help your child feel better anytime, anywhere.

I use an all natural approach your pediatrician doesn’t know about

Your pediatrician may have told you that your baby or child might outgrow their problem, or that there aren’t any solutions. But in my experience, most kids respond very well to Songbird’s approach and feel better quickly. When they feel better, you can enjoy your time together!

Here’s How I Help Your Child Thrive

Root Cause Assessment – I’ll assess your child’s personality, health history, and current symptoms to determine their unique constitution and the root cause of their issues.

Needle-Free Nervous System Reset – From your child’s very first session, I’ll use fast-acting needle-free protocols that quickly calm and regulate emotions. Weekly sessions will focus on locking in those changes and nourishing your child’s entire body so that they continue to thrive.

Whole Child Plan of Care – Next, I’ll develop a comprehensive yet simple plan to treat the root cause as well as relieving any symptoms your child is having. Your child’s treatment plan will include one or more of the following tools: stimulation of key acupuncture points, aromatherapy, targeted nutritional recommendations, herbs or supplements, relaxation exercises, and at-home acupressure routines.

“Frazzled Parent” Self-Care Strategies – I know you’re tired and stressed too. Many of the suggestions I make for kids are just as valuable for adults, and doing them together is a great bonding experience. I’ll be sure to let you know what can help you while you’re helping your child.

Ensure Stable, Lasting Results – Once we’ve achieved consistent relief, I’ll gradually reduce the frequency of the treatments to ensure that your child’s results last.

Common Questions & Answers

How do you do acupuncture on a child? My kid is terrified of needles.

Needles aren’t necessary! I offer a variety of easy, needle-free, painless techniques that stimulate key points and have very similar effects to acupuncture. For kids who ARE curious about acupuncture, I use tiny pediatric needles that most kids don’t even feel.

There's no way my child will sit still on a treatment table.

They don’t have to! Kids can be treated anywhere they’re comfortable: on the floor, in a chair, in a parent’s lap. I work with each point or area of the body for just 15-30 seconds at a time. My office is kid-friendly and has books and toys to keep your little one happily occupied during his or her treatment time. Older children receiving acupuncture may rest on the table for 5-15 minutes, if that feels okay for them.

My child is already taking medication, do we have to stop?

Absolutely not. There is no conflict between the therapies I use and use of medications.

My child is in daycare or school, I don't think we can get to regular daytime appointments.

No problem. I understand busy schedules and offer late afternoon and evening appointments to accommodate school and working parents.

Will you make my child stop eating their favorite foods?

I prefer to start by ADDING supportive foods into your child’s diet. Every initial evaluation includes discussion of what your child is eating, including their likes and dislikes. While it is sometimes necessary to reduce or eliminate trigger foods, that’s typically something we discuss after we see the response from other treatment strategies.

How quickly will we see results?

Children respond very quickly to Chinese medicine. While everyone is different, I expect to see some changes within the first 2-6 sessions. At that point, we can determine how many sessions will be needed to lock in results so your child feels fantastic long-term.
