Shonishin paediatric acupuncture
Shonishin (Japanese paediatric acupuncture) is a unique type of non-needle acupuncture designed especially for the treatment of babies and children. It has been practised in Japan for over 250 years.
In recognition of the fact that babies and children do not like needles, Shonishin uses painless, non-invasive techniques such as tapping, stroking and rubbing with different tools to stimulate the meridians and acupuncture points to bring about balance in the child's vital energy (Qi) and strengthen their constitution. It is a very gentle but very effective approach and has a strong therapeutic effect.
Victoria has studied Shonishin with Stephen Birch, a leader in the field of paediatric acupuncture. Please contact Victoria to discuss how Shonishin could benefit your child.
