About the practice

Warm, evidence-based paediatric care.

Little Miracles Paediatric Practice was founded by Dr Chiara Sewnarain to create a welcoming environment where families feel heard, supported and respected.

Our approach

Little Miracles Paediatric Practice is committed to creating a welcoming environment where families feel heard, supported, and respected. Dr. Sewnarain believes that excellent healthcare extends beyond diagnosis and treatment—it is about building relationships, trust, and confidence with every family she serves.

A guiding principle throughout her life and career is: “Service to humanity is service to God.” This philosophy shapes her approach to medicine, inspiring her to serve every child with kindness, empathy, and professionalism.

Parent education

Outside of clinical practice, Dr Sewnarain is passionate about parent education and community engagement. Through educational initiatives and social media, she strives to make reliable paediatric information accessible to all families.

She is also a strong advocate for preventative healthcare and believes that informed parents are empowered parents.

A genuine advocate in your child’s corner.

Dr. Sewnarain consults from Little Miracles Paediatric Practice at Johannesburg Surgical Hospital, providing specialist paediatric care from birth through adolescence.

Known for her warm and approachable nature, Dr. Sewnarain is guided by the belief that every child deserves not only excellent medical care, but also kindness, patience, and a genuine advocate in their corner. Her goal is to partner with families to help every child grow, thrive, and reach their fullest potential.
