Nancy Bixbee is an R.N. who began her nurs­ing career at Children’s Hos­pi­tal in Boston. After work­ing for 30 years as an oper­at­ing room nurse, she real­ized her per­sonal pas­sion is in holis­tic health care for chil­dren. The chal­lenges of rais­ing three chil­dren with dif­fer­ing learn­ing abil­i­ties led her to study energy med­i­cine. First with flower essences study­ing with David Dal­ton, founder of Delta Gar­dens and then train­ing with Linda Pat­ter­son for cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in Aro­mather­apy at her Eclec­tic Insti­tute of Aro­mather­apy and Herbal Studies.

Con­tin­u­ing her search for a pro­gram that spe­cial­ized in work­ing with chil­dren expe­ri­enc­ing learn­ing dif­fi­cul­ties she trained at Sun­bridge Col­lege in New York learn­ing the tech­niques of The Extra Les­son. This unique approach to assist­ing child devel­op­ment incor­po­rates move­ment, draw­ing and paint­ing exer­cises to address imbal­ances in learn­ing and emo­tional growth.

Her inter­est in work­ing with chil­dren led her to school nurse posi­tions first at the Wal­dorf School in Lex­ing­ton, MA and more recently at Stoner­idge Chil­drens Montes­sori School in Bev­erly, MA. How­ever, she felt drawn to work with chil­dren on an indi­vid­ual basis and started A Bal­anced Child where she incor­po­rates all these modal­i­ties in indi­vid­u­al­ized sessions.

With Nancy’s med­ical pedi­atric expe­ri­ence and train­ing in holis­tic ther­a­pies she offers an inno­v­a­tive approach to holis­tic child devel­op­ment. Nancy worked with Cameron Sesto at Stoner­idge Chil­drens Montes­sori School where they devel­oped extra art ses­sions for chil­dren with learn­ing difficulties.
