Treating children on land as well as in the water and allowing family members to swim near the treatment area gives the clinic a safe and comfortable feeling environment for the keiki.
Five year old Koa has had two land and three water treatments in six months. His parents attribute his fairly aggressive behavior changing to quite sweet and gentle to his treatments. Mom had just recieved a treatment when this photo was taken. Interesting light over her head (crown chakra).
Treated at 3 days after birth, this little girl was not nursing. An adjustment of her maxilla (upper teeth), which were rotated inward at her birth, took a couple of minutes. Evaluation the next day showed normal placement of the bones. She also nursed a total of four and a half hours that day.
Although the baby's head felt similar to a water balloon during the initial treatment, subsequent evaluation at one month of age determined that the mouth was in balance. No further feeding problems were encountered.

Thousands have been treated.
No child has ever been charged. No criteria. Just be a child.
Stress in children takes a multitude of forms.
Environmental stress. Postural stress. Muscular stress. Nervous stress. Stress from, TV, video games, noise pollution, sports, peers and school. We have seen an increased stress level across the board in children coming to our clinics since 911. Even television and video games create stress.
Family stress is addressed. Sometimes it becomes obvious you cannot treat an individual child without treating various members of the family. Financial stress, political unsurety, terrorism, families have a lot to handle these days. Sibling rivalry has long been a fact of life. Children who abuse thier brothers, sisters, cousins, neighbors and sometimes themselves could use some help. Craniosacral and Aquacranial therapies ease the traumas of living. Families become gentler, less aggressive with each other and themselves.
Families that have material wealth and security face other stress issues. Demands are sometimes greater to perform. Families that have very ill children suffer the stress of thinking that every day may be the last. It takes away the ability to ever relax.
Sometimes a different perspective can be seen during family therapy and swimming near cetaceans.
