Reflexology and Reiki
for Children
(ages 0-12)
The benefits of Reiki and reflexology are not limited to adults. These gentle, supportive services can offer calming, nervous system regulation, and comfort for infants and children in age-appropriate ways. With a background in Early Childhood Education, professional experience supporting children of varying ages and needs, and lived experience as a mother, I approach each child as the unique individual they are.
I also bring both personal and professional experience supporting neurodivergent children, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, FASD & anxiety, as well as children who may have experienced trauma or other overwhelming life experiences. While I am not a counsellor or therapist, I strive to offer a calm, supportive space where children feel seen, respected and safe.
Sessions are intentionally child-led and adapted to each child's age, comfort and individual needs. Appointments are typically 30-45 minutes and may also include simple ways parents can continue supportive care at home with their infants or children.
Parents are welcome to remain in the treatment room during sessions, though they are equally welcome to step out if preferred.
Reflexology for Children
Reflexology can be a gentle and supportive option for infants and children, just as it is for adults. Because it is non-invasive, calming, and adaptable to each child's comfort level, many children find relaxation calming and easy to receive.
Parents often seek children's reflexology to support digestive comfort (including colic, constipation or upset stomachs), teething pain, sleep challenges, stress or anxiety, immune support, cold and sinus discomfort, bedwetting concerns, and overall relaxation and well-being.
"My son has severe autism and we have found that reflexology does work very well for relaxation and emotional regulation. The thing is I found it hard to find someone with experience with children with special needs. I take my son to Sarah Taylor Wellness"

Reiki for Children
Reiki can be a gentle and supportive experience for children of all ages, from newborns through childhood.
Reiki may be offered through gentle hands-on touch, hands hovering above the body, or a combination of both, depending on the child's comfort and how the session naturally unfolds.
Reiki is guided by energy and spiritual consciousness, making it a gentle modality that can be offered safely across all ages.
Reiki is not an exchange of personal energy between practitioner and client, but rather a gentle channeling of universal life force energy.
I explain Reiki to children in an age-appropriate way that helps them feel comfortable, safe, and connected to the experience.
Parents often seek Reiki for children to support relaxation, irregular sleep patterns, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, and helping children feel lighter, calmer, and more grounded.
