Care for kids, at your door.
Seeing a child at home means familiar surroundings and a parent right beside them. I bring the table, scale everything to the child's size and age, and I recommend a parent stay in the room so what I find and what to do at home is clear.
What a pediatric visit is
I start by talking with you about why you're calling and what you've noticed, then I watch how your child moves, plays, sits or lies and how they hold themselves. Any hands-on work is very light and sized to the child, and with a baby it is lighter still. A parent or legal guardian being there is recommended, not required, so that what I find and what to do at home is clear to everyone. A parent or guardian consents to every visit, and an older child or teen gets a say too, so nothing happens if they say no.
I have formal training in pediatric care, and my malpractice coverage includes children.
Newborns
For newborns, days or even hours old, I gently examine the baby while talking with mom about the birth and any complications, issues, sticky points or after-birth issues that have been noticed. Then I do a neurological exam along with motor reflex and sensation testing, palpate the spine for restrictions, sticky points, tight areas or resistance to move in a specific direction, and perform an adjustment as needed, if needed.
Each visit includes
- A conversation with you about why you're here and what you've noticed
- A look at how your child moves, sits and holds themselves
- Very light hands-on work, sized to the child and explained to you first
- Time to ask whatever you want to ask
- A short written note to keep and to share with your pediatrician

How a visit runs
-
You call or book
Tell me your child's age and why you're calling, along with any diagnoses or medications, and who else is involved in their care.
-
I show up and set up
I bring the table. Clear a patch of floor about the size of a bed and tell me about stairs or parking ahead of time. A favorite blanket or toy is welcome.
-
We talk and I look first
You tell me what's been going on, I watch how your child moves, and I explain what I'm seeing and what I'd do before I touch anything.
-
Gentle hands-on work, only with your okay
Everything is by hand and very light, and I tell you what's coming before it happens. If your child is upset or pulling away, I stop.
-
You get a note
What I saw, what I did, and anything I'd bring up with your pediatrician, written down so you can hand it over.
Alongside your pediatrician
I don't replace your child's pediatrician, and well-child checks and any medical concern stay with them. With your permission I'll share what I saw and did, and if I notice something that should be looked at medically, I'll tell you and ask you to call your pediatrician before we go further. If your child is running a fever, struggling to breathe, unusually sleepy or hurt in a fall, call your pediatrician first, or 911 in an emergency, and book me afterward if it still makes sense.
What I won't promise
Children vary a great deal and so do their responses to care. I don't diagnose or treat childhood illnesses or developmental conditions, and I don't promise that a visit will change a child's health, sleep, feeding or development. You get a gentle visit, a plain explanation of what I did, and no pressure to come back.
Tell me about your child.
Call or book, tell me their age and who else is involved in their care, and I'll confirm a time.
