A mother brings her son to my practice because he has been incredibly tired lately. He is a very sensitive and extremely bright boy., so I decide to use Shonishin. This is a needle-free acupuncture treatment for children that is a very gentle technique using rounded instruments.
Because I expect this technique will help him relax more, I ask his mother to stand on his other side in order to teach her what to do so that she can use it at home.

They both enjoy this treatment. Her son reminds her that she used to massage him all the time and that he had liked it so much. She looks at him and says, “I think I’ve lost track of you a little lately.”
The way they look at each other with such happiness really moves me.
