About Jade Kids
Jade Kids is dedicated to supporting children’s health, healing, and well-being through the nature-based principles of Chinese Medicine. By combining pediatric treatments, education, and experiences in nature, Jade Kids nurtures the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being of children.
Founded on the belief that every child deserves access to care, Jade Kids strives to make its services available to families regardless of their ability to pay.
Our Evolution
Jade Kids began with the vision of Judi Terrill, a Colorado-licensed acupuncturist who founded Jade Woman de LaLonde, Inc. in 2011. Guided by the wisdom of nature and the ancient principles of Chinese Medicine, Judi developed a Five Element Program focused on supporting children's physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.
From 2013 to 2023, Jade Woman de LaLonde provided pediatric clinics throughout the Denver metro area. The clinics were consolidated in 2023 to a single location in Lakewood, Colorado, now known as the Jade Kids Pediatric Clinic. Along with this transition came a new public identity: Jade Kids.
Judi also facilitated classes and clinics for students and practitioners interested in specializing in pediatric care through this unique approach to Chinese Medicine.
In addition to the clinic, Jade Kids offers Nature Outing events that invite children and their families to experience and explore their individual elements in nature.
Founded as a Colorado non-profit corporation and recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Jade Woman de LaLonde, Inc. is dedicated to treating children using the nature-based principles of Chinese Medicine to support their health, healing, and well-being with a commitment to making care accessible to every child.
