PEDIATRIC/TEEN

Children are very adaptable and resilient, but they also have little protection against many of life’s stressors.

• Most traumas experienced while we are at a young age can become buried deeply within the body and mind, hidden for years and years
• Children who are struggling to understand and cope with these traumas need very supportive, nurturing, holistic care to help them experience and to learn to trust their internal “voice” to thrive
• As a teen and trying to understand where they “fit” into their ever-changing world which is greatly affected by hormones, social pressures, changes within family dynamics (just to name a few), can be one of the most stressful and difficult life stages a person moves through. This can also be a time when the love/hate they have for their bodies are in immense conflict based on internal and external influences. Although they are told, “This phase of your life will pass”, to a teen who “hears” these words, the message can easily be frustrating – because they live in the “now!”
• Despite the above listed (and unlisted) childhood traumas and teen years challenges, there really is a way in which they can be supported to be more confident and happy, to embrace living in the moment and to help reduce emotional and physical pain.

The PEDIATRIC/TEEN Wellness programs, their duration, type, and frequency of sessions are individually designed to meet the needs of each child/teen.

These include:

• Interview with parents
• Interview with the child/teen
• Bodywork and set-up plan
• Mindset meditation recordings
• Yoga exercises

Client Review:

Sallie T. – July ’18

“Guacira did Watsu with our disabled daughter. She made our daughter feel at ease in the water, so much so she relaxed and slept on and off while getting a gentle water massage. Guacira is kind, gentle, and has an innate ability to read her clients well.”
