Kinesiology for Kids
I have my diploma in children’s service with over 20 years in the field. I am a mothers to 3 beautiful children aged 7, 10 and 17. My experience working with children helps me to connect with your child which allows them to feel safe and nurtured to be able to relax and feel at ease in our sessions.
Every session is different and flows with what the child may need on the day. Before the session I will send you an email that has a brief questioner just to give me an idea of the support you both may need on the day of the session.
Some session I may start by chatting to the child directly if they are comfortable to tell me what is going on in their life at this time.
I can chat to the parent/guardian of the child about certain issues you would like to work on during the session or over a few sessions.
I always explain to the child before the session how a session works and what they can expect during the session. I’ll let them know that we will just have a chat and then they can lay on the massage table, I’ll move their arm up and down to chat to their body (sub-conscious) and find and clear the stress to help them feel better.
I have different ways of connecting with each child based on their needs and use various therapy aids and techniques to help them to verbalise their worries and issues.
I explain and show them some of the tools that might test up such as crystal they may need to hold, oils to smell, pretty cards to look at or some clearing sprays I may spray above them.
Parents are welcome to stay in the room, wait outside the room or go for a walk and grab a coffee at the local cafe.
Babies
Babies can have their energy balanced this often is helpful for feeding, sleeping, or food issues, this is done through testing the mums arm whilst holding the baby or having them lay on you whilst you are on the table. If it’s not possible to have the baby in the session we can use the mother as a surrogate.
Toddlers
School age 5-10 years
Children that are in the 5-10yr age bracket are generally very happy to come for a treatment session and chat to me about how they are feeling. Through the use of my various tools and techniques I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable place for them to share their stress and help feel better again. In the majority of these sessions the parent/guardian is present and will help contribute to the session where they see fit. With a lot of my clients in this age bracket, as soon as they have been for a few sessions and are comfortable with me they will ask to see me on their own and their parent/guardian will wait outside and just join us at the end to see what homework/remedies are required.
Older children 10-17 years
When it comes to sessions for older children/teenagers it is really up to them how they would like the session to run. The majority of my clients in this age bracket will arrive with their parent/guardian and then want their session to be private and ask for it to be alone. Sometimes the parent/guardian will stay for the first part of the session whilst we are talking through everything going on, and then when it’s time to hop on the massage table and test up what is needed for a balance they will exit the room to give their child privacy and space to share one on one.
