We love supporting children and teenagers to thrive!
For younger children, Eluvi uses Shonishin - a unique Japanese style of meridian therapy/ acupressure method that supports children to overcome illness and thrive developmentally. Sessions are given on our large futon with mum or dad and are fun and comfortable! We have a number of child patients who ask for this as a birthday present, they enjoy it so much :)
Shonishin - Children's Meridian Therapy
This branch of treatment had been in use in Japan for approx 400 years and is effective in treating a range of conditions such as:
night wetting
colds and immune problems
respiratory conditions
painful muscles & growing pains
disturbed sleep
digestive pain and upset
poor concentration
irregular energy levels
A gentle and highly effective way to support our children as they grow. Gently we stroke along the imbalanced meridians and support or release acu-points as required. This is done using specialised tools made of precious metals that actively interact with and balance a child's developing meridian, (electro-magnetic pathway) system.
The treatments are non-invasive and incredibly calming and balancing for your child's nervous system. We work closely together with you to ensure your precious children are well cared for and in wonderful health.
Teenage Shiatsu Massage
There's no sugar-coating it, teenage years can be really tough! There is so much change unfurling developmentally, emotionally, hormonally, physically, socially, it's no surprise that many young adults find this time challenging or overwhelming.
In our experience, (and validated by research) supportive bodywork can be an immensely safe and beneficial way to help calm the mind and balance the nervous system. Treatments are given fully clothed on a large floor-level futon and we discuss symptoms, methods and preferences gently and respectfully prior to beginning. Parents are of course welcome to call and discuss their child's needs beforehand.
Symptoms that respond especially well to this type of treatment are: - Stress and anxiety - Insomnia - Digestive discomfort (especially related to anxiety) - Growing pains and sporting injuries.
Teens may also simply want to come in and enjoy treatment to support and maintain wellbeing. Feel welcome to book either a big children's (60min) or an adult (90min) session.
