Dalian Method for Children and Youth
Child Sessions for ages 7-12
Youth and Young Adult Sessions for ages 13-22
Mada Dalian has created special versions of the Dalian Method for children, youth and young adults.
These much shorter versions of her brilliant system help the young person to very quickly overcome and let go of their upsetting experiences, feelings and insecurities. The Dalian Method process teaches the child or youth how to express and understand what they feel and how to find their own answers inside themselves.
The Dalian Method process is very dynamic and liberating. It uses out loud verbal expression, fun body movement, breathwork and drawing. It guides the young person through a process of quickly finding the cause of whatever has been bothering them.
When the young person finds the cause of their upset feelings, they quickly grow in strength, confidence, happiness, creativity and playfulness and feel a lot of inner freedom and empowerment. Many children report feeling more self-responsible and self-sufficient after their sessions and many have a much easier time regulating emotions and behaviours after the session.
For younger children, the parents (or guardians) are involved in the session for support. Older children, youth and young adults can attend the session on their own, if they prefer.
All sessions are recorded and the audio of the session is sent to you afterwards.
A Dalian Method session can help young people with any issue that is upsetting them including: sleep issues, fear of the dark, fear of being alone, insecurity, anxiety, competition, learning issues, fear of speaking up, bullying, peer issues, identity issues, family, friend and romantic relationship issues, sexual issues, healing from trauma, physical issues such as injury, disease, tummy aches or headaches, or anything else.
The Dalian Method for children is truly ground-breaking and it is my great passion to help children, youth, young adults parents, teachers and other professionals to connect with the extraordinary results.
Book a free consultation and I can explain the process of a child or youth session to you. The Dalian Method works great online. This enables people around the world to easily connect with sessions. In person appointments on Salt Spring Island may be available upon request.
What People Are Saying
“This [Dalian Method] is so much better than counselling because it helps me connect with myself and without myself I don’t have anything. Counselling doesn’t solve anything!”
— Jordan 18
Jandy guided my 13-year-old through the session with deep empathy, skill, and grace. She created a safe, welcoming space where he could explore uncomfortable emotions and shift them quickly. The session was seamless — simple yet profoundly transformative. Jandy’s ability to hold space and support him through the process was truly exceptional.
In just one session, the Dalian Method helped my son access deeper layers of emotion and uncover the underlying beliefs fueling his anger. Through this process, he was able to release those emotions and gain clarity about how he wants to show up in difficult situations. I’m grateful for how quickly the method enabled him to transform his frustration into a sense of strength and empowerment, with lasting results that feel both genuine and profound. Thanks for the session!! Felt simple yet profound.

“At first I was skeptical of the Dalian method for my 7 year old son. He was waking up in the middle of night scared to sleep in his room for the last 3 nights (waking up every night). After the Dalian method he actually slept in his own room the whole night. I was surprised at the bluntness of the suppressed thought he had voiced. It has been a significant reduction of disrupted sleep and he hasn’t been scared to go to bed. Jandy was very good with our son, I would definitely recommend the Dalian method.”
— Clarissa Yap
“I feel way better [after my Dalian Method session]. My focus and responsibility has improved a lot. At school in math class I’ve been focusing more on what I need to learn. At the end I have more of a responsibility to write my stuff in my planner. Also, I am not afraid of the monster anymore at night.”
