Infant Craniosacral Therapy
Birth, breastfeeding, bonding, and learning how to move are natural processes. Sometimes, outside forces such as birth interventions, challenges with feeding, stress in the family unit, or too much time spent in containers can interrupt the natural flow of baby's development. Tension patterns can arise as baby creates alternate ways of getting it's needs met. This is intelligent, but not always efficient. Craniosacral therapy can help shift these tension patterns in a gentle, non-invasive way, guiding your baby back to it's original blueprint for health. Additionally, Craniosacral therapy helps support nervous system regulation in the baby/mom dyad. Since baby and mom are still quite connected, the resilience of Mom's nervous system greatly affects baby.
What to expect:
Each infant session includes gentle stretches to release stuck fascia coupled with the attuned touch of Craniosacral therapy. Sessions are baby-led, and can happen whether baby is awake, asleep, or feeding. Following a baby's natural rhythm ensures that the treatment feels easeful and safe for both baby and parents. Parents are supported to continue this work at home for best results. Integrating simple stretches into baby's daily routine, helps their body "remember" the work that was set in motion during their session.
