Paediatric home visits · Johannesburg
Gentle, whole-child care, brought to your home.
Welcome to PeachyPaeds— unhurried, gentle, comprehensive paediatric care based in Craighall Park. We come to your child, so they feel safe and supported in their own cosy space.
Our healing philosophy
The whole-child, gentle-care difference.
At PeachyPaeds, paediatric medicine is as much about warmth and environment as it is about clinical diagnostics. A child's body heals best when their nervous system is fully at ease.
By moving clinical practice out of rigid facilities and onto the cosy playmats of Craighall Park, we build deep trust. Your little ones don't see intimidating strangers in white coats — just friendly guests helping them feel better.

Why choose home visits?
Healthcare that fits your family's routine.
Comfort of your own home
No scary hospital corridors, foreign smells, or high tables. We examine your child on their own rug, bed, or in your lap — where they are happiest.
Protected from clinic germs
Keep fragile newborn immune systems and sick toddlers safe. Skip waiting rooms packed with circulating coughs, colds, and flu.
Unrushed, dedicated time
Consultations are unhurried. We take time to chat, answer sleep or feeding questions, and observe natural play milestones.
Direct context audits
Being in your home lets us review the actual cot layout, nursery ventilation, and developmental toys for practical, hands-on guidance.
Meet your paediatrician
Passionate medicine, in plain kid terms.

Dr. Larissa Lala-Mohan
Founder & principal paediatrician
“Healing is personal. It shouldn't feel scary or rushed.”
As a mother of two and a specialist paediatrician living and practising in Craighall Park, Dr. Larissa Lala-Mohan saw how stressful clinic and hospital visits could be for delicate young minds. She founded PeachyPaeds to restore the lost art of the gentle house call.
She brings clinical expertise, registered private-practice guidelines, and a warm diagnostic toy-box right onto your carpet — thorough physicals that fit your baby's calm schedule.

We're proud to serve families across Craighall Park and the Johannesburg northern suburbs. Here's why parents trust us with their home callouts.
“Dr. Larissa Lala-Mohan made our newborn checks a dream! No packing up bags, no waiting in cold clinics with germy air. Leo stayed comfortable on our nursery play rug, and Larissa took so much unhurried time to support my breastfeeding latch.”
Jessica Thompson
Parent of Baby Leo · Craighall Park
“Tshepo always screams at normal doctor offices. But with PeachyPaeds, he actually thought Dr. Larissa Lala-Mohan was a family friend visiting with fantastic new musical toys! He smiled during his entire chest and ear physical. Absolutely unmatched experience.”
Lerato Kubheka
Parent of Tshepo · Parkhurst
“Having direct WhatsApp access to Dr. Larissa Lala-Mohan after our home callout was a lifesaver. When Clara spiked a minor fever the next morning, a quick chat confirmed she was doing fine and we didn't need to rush to the emergency room. Truly unhurried, whole-family care.”
James & Nina Drummond
Parent of Clara · Dunkeld
“Such an exceptional private paediatric service. Zero travel fees in Craighall / Saxonwold, and the medical invoice was emailed directly to us for automatic Discovery medical aid claim reimbursement. Seamless admin and gentle healing combined.”
Mariam Asmal
Parent of Sophia · Saxonwold
“Highly recommend Dr. Larissa Lala-Mohan to any northern suburbs mothers! She doesn't just inspect physicals, she gave us incredible developmental guidance on toddler sleep habits, safety proofing our cot space, and introducing whole foods. We are peachy perfect!”
