Paediatric Acupuncture
Paediatric acupuncture is a time-tested branch of Chinese medicine, developed over thousands of years. It’s designed to support children's health in a gentle and holistic way — recognising that children need treatment tailored to their unique physiology and emotions.
The reality is that, when practised in the right way, acupuncture can be almost painless and is accepted by the vast majority of children.
To further support healing, we may recommend herbal formulas drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine. We proudly use the Suwen Paediatric range — modern, child-safe herbal remedies based on classical formulas, adapted for taste, dosage, and sensitivity.

The Little Hub, based within The Acu Hub, offers specialised Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) care for teenagers.
Our focus is on supporting the unique health needs of young people, from managing stress, improving sleep, and balancing hormones to addressing issues like acne, fatigue, and concentration.
Using gentle, evidence-informed TCM approaches such as acupuncture, acupressure, and herbal support, we help teens feel their best and manage everyday challenges more comfortably.
The Little Hub provides a calm, welcoming space where teenagers can receive professional care in a way that feels safe, respectful, and age-appropriate.
