Working with babies, children and in pregnancy

Babies and Children

Craniosacral therapy (CST) can help babies and children by engaging and support the babies’ own natural ability to release and resolve compressive patterns along with resolving any residue shock and trauma from the birth process.  Even in a relatively straight forward birth the experience of traveling from a place where you have been cocooned in a safe warm place for 9 months and arriving in the world can be unsettling. 

​

As well as supporting the release of physical restriction and compression, CST also has an affect on  calming and balancing the nervous system which in turn can support feeding, sleeping and bonding with parents and siblings.  As children grow, craniosacral therapy can support general health and can be used with children with autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and learning difficulties.

For mothers after birth

Treatments can settle and support mothers after birth. 

​

Pregnancy

CST is a safe and gentle choice for pregnant women. And also for women wanting to get pregnant. It can help in the management of stress and settle the nervous system which in turn can support the hormonal system. 

​

Frequency of sessions will depend on the individual and condition being treated.
