What's So Great About The Holistic Kid's Clinic?

Twelve kids explain…

I learned your body has batteries, electricity and switches. I learned this from Dr. Newman. He put a battery on my jaw. I wasn’t even, but when he put the battery on my jaw, I was even. It did not hurt. It was fun. Another time, Michele did craniosacral on me. She put her hands on my head. She felt the blood rushing up my spine and in my head. She held it and then she rocked it back and forth a little. It’s relaxing. I liked it.
~Alyeska, age 9

It’s great!!! I came into the clinic feeling sick, tired and tense, but when they had all worked on me and by the time they were done, I felt all relaxed and full of energy. It was a great feeling! I love this place!
P.S. The people are great fun and friendly!
~Alisha, age 14

I like all the doctors, especially Audrey and Ty. I would like to thank everyone, like Lorrie.
~Veronica, age 9

I learned how to kiss a moose standing on one toe while swimming in hair jell, plus eating cake with a fox.
~Jordan, age 11

Oh my goodness, what an improvement! When I got my back adjusted, I felt like a feather. My posture has improved a great deal. I have also learned a lot more about my body. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks!
~Sarah-Joy, age 14

I like coming here because they make me feel comfortable and I love the back massages. We come here about every month and made me more flexible from popping bones.
~Christina, age 11

One thing I like to say is that they help me clear my asthma symptoms. Thank you.
~Brenhon, age 10

It helps me with growing pains and injuries. The people are nice.
~Cyle, age 13

This is a great and wonderful place. It’s helped me with my problem. I have been cleared for allergies and other things. I’m very thankful for Kid’s Clinic.
~Emily, age 10

Before I started coming to the Kid’s Clinic, I spent a lot of time sick from different flu and colds. Also, several years ago I fractured my ankle and a couple years after I fell and hurt my knee. I limped a lot because my ankle was so weak that I sprained it a lot. Since coming to the clinic, I have been sick less and my leg has gotten a lot stronger. After a couple months, I was able to run for the first time in years.
~Leana, age 14

Since I started Kid’s Clinic, I’ve had less overall exhaustion. I’ve been able to do more exercising. Most recently I went biking, and made fairly good time on the trip. Usually after such an excursion, I would be exhausted. The Kid’s Clinic allowed me to do exercises such as this because I was no longer spending my energy trying to recover from various pains such as vertebrae out of place and overall tension.
~Cory, age 16

I think more kids should come to this clinic, because it really helps us. Some kids are afraid of doctors so they don’t want to come, but you should. I went into lots of treatments and learned what is good and bad for me. So now I can stay healthy. The “Kid’s Clinic” helped my body a lot!
~Kirin, age 10

What Do Parents Say?
There continues to be vast improvements in the overall health of my 10-month-old son, Jack. The kinesiologist determined that his formula wasn’t agreeing with him. The cranial-sacral release performed by the massage therapist always results in a calmer temperament. And the energy work has eliminated his shakiness. (All problems existed from birth until eliminated by the volunteers at the Kid’s Clinic.)

On our first visit, we found out our daughter is allergic to sugars. She seemed to enjoy the visit and treatment did not scare her at all. Everyone here is so nice and personable! We will be back!

This is something, as a society, that we cannot afford to be without. Our children need this kind of care, but parents need this type of clinic so that we can become educated about it also.
~Paula

I like the wide array of alternative holistic services available to help treat the young patients. It is done in a very loving and caring environment. You can feel the positive energy flow when you enter the clinic. You can see and feel a positive difference in the children when they come out of the different appointments. My own kids do much better, and we can see positive changes after their sessions.
~Randy

The way the different healing methods work together is wonderful. They complement each other to heal all of the children at all levels. Our children are more relaxed and less stressed. The healing has really helped them.
