Pediatrics
Holistic Healing for Little Ones
Safe, gentle acupuncture tailored for children’s unique needs
Children deserve to thrive, too. Our pediatric acupuncture service provides a nurturing, supportive environment where kids can experience the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine for overall well-being, focus, and neuro-regulation.

What to Expect:
Pediatric sessions are 60 minutes long
Pediatric acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, improve focus, and support self-awareness. Each 60-minute session incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine practices including cupping, gua sha, and acupressure that help children learn to regulate their emotions and develop a greater awareness of self-care, building a foundation for lifelong health.
How can I help my child feel comfortable during their appointment?
At Prickly Pear Acupuncture & Wellness, we work as a team—parents, kids, and practitioners—to create a safe, positive experience for your child. Here’s how we can make their appointments stress-free and successful:
​
-
Build Trust Together: As parents and practitioners, we know the importance of creating a safe and welcoming environment. During the first few appointments, we take time to explain each step, answer questions, and ensure your child feels comfortable. Your reassurance at home and during the session helps build trust and ease.
-
Foster Familiarity: Kids thrive on routines and repetition. Bringing comfort items like a favorite toy or blanket and encouraging regular visits allows your child to feel secure, regulate their nervous system, and know what to expect.
-
Celebrate Positive Sensations: Children intuitively recognize when something feels good and works for them. Together, we encourage them to share their feelings during treatment, empowering them to feel involved and confident in the process.
​
With your support and our gentle, personalized approach, we create a team effort to ensure your child’s journey toward wellness is a positive and empowering one.
Support your child’s journey to health. Book a pediatric acupuncture session today for holistic care that grows with them.
"We are so thankful to share our chosen area of expertise with everyone, especially with the many kids we treat and teach to be empowered in their health and wellness journeys! Kids can use Chinese medicine for emotional issues, lingering coughs, sleep, and pretty much anything else adults get treated for!"
