Babies

Although my primary focus is moms, sometimes it’s impossible to separate a mom’s health and her baby’s. They are part of a joined dyad, physically, mentally and emotionally. So I do also have some offerings for babies and kids!

As a mom, I want the best for my kids and to provide them with the safest and most effective solutions to their health issues–I’m sure every parent would say the same thing! And some parents get nervous with the typical Western medicine solutions, wondering how safe they truly are for their children. 

That’s why I make sure my offerings are safe, gentle, and without any known side effects. They are the exact same solutions I use in my own home on a regular basis, that I trust for the health of my children.

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy 

Craniosacral fascial therapy is a combination of craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. It is helpful for everyone but especially essential for babies. Fascia (connective tissue) easily gets damaged in utero, during birth, and in traumas postpartum like accidents, medical procedures, and even emotional distress. This tightens the area, which restricts circulation, movement, and function. Even in a birth that is smooth and seems uneventful, damage to the fascia may have happened in utero or unseen during the birth process. It doesn’t unwind on its own and needs bodywork to release.

During the hour session, baby lies fully clothed on a massage table. The pressure of the fascia release is very gentle, lighter than a massage, with some lifting of body areas. There is no adjustment, rubbing, or manipulation like in massage or chiropractic care.
