Child Health Information Classes

Would you like to be more confident managing your children's health at home? Would you like to know more about the symptoms children experience? As local parents ourselves we understand how much conflicting & often confusing health information is out there for families.

Adam is a children’s doctor who has worked in A&Es & paediatric units around London over the last decade, and sees many parents who feel unsure about what's fact or opinion.

Anna is a doula working with new parents, and is constantly amazed at how little information we are given when sent home to look after little humans!

Together we discuss some of the big topics in paediatric medicine, learning through evidence & research why & how things happen in children's bodies. We keep it informative & as jargon free as possible to equip & empower you in a practical way. We'll help you understand what symptoms mean, how to manage them at home and when to seek a medical opinion. If you’re expecting your first, you're a new parent, or have older children - this class is for you!

What we cover:

  • Fevers - why they happen, when to worry, how to treat
  • Coughs and colds
  • Rashes - what is worrying, what looks bad but is fine, and why
  • Respiratory conditions - asthma, croup, wheeze etc.
  • Vomiting and sickness - how to manage at home and when to be concerned
  • Choking, gagging, and what to do
  • Cuts, bruises, head injuries - how to treat and when to get medical support
  • Plenty more, with plenty of time for questions and clarifications from a paediatrician!

New dates for this course have not been scheduled yet, but please contact Anna using the form below if you are interested.

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times... Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate. But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body. From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term. At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for. Needles in, stress out. Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February. Find out more and book via our bio.

Wow, a very generous donation from author Sofia Bothwell, a collection of her books focused on how addiction can manifest. Sofia is holding a workshop, Healing the Eating Habit, at Moon on Saturday 28th February, where she'll explore the underlying causes of overeating, the emotional issues that can cause us to eat when full and the importance of raising self-acceptance. We'll be learning more about this session in an upcoming Instagram Live (18th Feb), so you can find out more then, as well as via a link in our bio ('What's On in February'). Also, a reminder to check out our library next time you're at Moon.

Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing response we've had to our plea for donations towards the Women Supporting Women Fund. Thank you to all these lovely folk who donated in January. Thanks to you, eight women were able to access the support they wanted from Moon Women's Health. However, unfortunately the waiting list continues to grow and is three months long at the moment. Therefore, when you're booking a session at Moon and would like to support your community, please tick the box to add an additional £3 - it all adds up! You can find more details about the fund, and donate directly via our bio.

Happy Imbolc to you all. The mid-point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox - with our backs to the cold and our faces in the sun. Today we honour the Goddess Bridgid, who had so powerful a hold on the celtic imagination, the Catholics had to make her into a Saint. She is a Goddess of fire, healing and birth, who leads us towards Spring. Enjoy your Sunday 🌱
