Meet Our Favorite Pediatric Functional Medicine Practice: Little Lanterns Pediatrics
PLEASE NOTE: LITTLE LANTERNS IS A PRACTICE THAT WE TRUST TO REFER OUR SMALLER PATIENTS TO FOR FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE.
LITTLE LANTERNS IS NOT THE SAME PRACTICE AS THE WELLNESS EFFECT.
Welcome!
At Little Lanterns, we care for children from birth through age 18 across the full spectrum of health concerns—whether acute, chronic, developmental, emotional, or energetic. Families often come to us when they’ve been dismissed, overwhelmed, or told everything looks “normal” but their intuition says otherwise.
We also welcome families who want to stay ahead of the curve—seeking support for vaccine preparation, immune resilience, developmental milestones, or long-term vitality before issues arise.
If it affects your child’s health, development, behavior, mood, or energy—we walk families through it. With functional lab testing, personalized protocols, and a lens of generational wellness, we help children heal deeply and grow into who they’re meant to be.
