The Acorn Children’s Clinic, located in the heart of the Ashdown Forest in Sussex, is dedicated to providing complementary therapy to children from families of all incomes, including those in financial hardship.
Our mission is supported by part-funding from the National Lottery, allowing us to offer lower-cost treatments to families in need.
Alongside children and families, we also treat pregnant and post-natal women. Whoever we are treating, we always do so holistically to help restore, maintain and support physical and emotional health and wellbeing.
“A clinic where discounted rates are offered, enabling everyone to have access to a holistic approach to children’s health. This is something very rare and really wonderful.”
Gentle and Non-Invasive Treatments
Osteopathy for babies and children is a safe treatment that uses subtle hands-on techniques to release tension, improve mobility, and optimise bodily functions. Our experienced paediatric osteopaths use methods such as cranial osteopathy to support your child’s health.
Ancient Practices for Modern Healing
Acupuncture involves inserting hair-thin needles into specific points to restore harmony in the body. For sensitive children, we offer non-needle techniques such as Paediatric Tui Na, Moxibustion, Shonishin, and gentle massage with essential oils.
This much needed project is well supported and gained part funding from the National Lottery, making treatment accessible to all. This allows us to offer lower-cost treatments on a sliding scale to those families in financial need, and to those families who could not afford longer term treatments if needed.
In order to keep the Acorn Children’s Clinic running, we rely on families paying the higher fee where financially possible. Your contribution, along with our part-funding, helps the clinic to continue to offer our services and to support children from families in financial hardship within our community.

Paediatric & Cranial Osteopathy
"My son was having constant tension headaches which was affecting his ability to study and making him unhappy being in pain a lot of the time. He was also suffering from a lot of exam stress. The treatment was made him aware of his posture which was terrible and putting stress onto his neck - once he understood this he was able to make a change, and once his spine was realigned his headaches have reduced dramatically. The treatment also helps him to relax and helps with his mental stress"
"Rebecca has a wonderful way of relating to children of all ages. She immediately made my teenage son feel comfortable and relaxed. She took what he said seriously, responding specifically to questions & concerns, and offering gentle lifestyle advice in a very comfortable way alongside treatment."
"Highly qualified and experienced practitioners, treating children with special care and attention."
"The osteopathy has been excellent for both myself as an expectant and then post partum mother and for my newborn and now 10 month old baby. We are so grateful for this clinic "
"My son really thrived on the 1-1 time and the listening ear as well as the treatment itself. In the days after he was catching himself doing some of the negative behaviour and implementing ways to be kinder to himself."
