Craniosacral Therapy For Babies
Welcome to Craniosacral Therapy for Babies!
As a licensed pediatric Occupational Therapist and trained Craniosacral Therapist, I specialize in helping infants through gentle, light touch, non-invasive techniques that enhance the function of the craniosacral system. This therapy can alleviate issues like colic, sleep disturbances, reflux, digestive issues, nursing difficulties, and developmental delays in babies by releasing tensions from birth and in utero, promoting better sleep, feeding, comfort, and overall well-being.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a super-gentle, safe, hands-on approach that uses the lightest touch—like the weight of a nickel—to help your little one release any subtle tension their tiny body might be holding. These tensions can come from the birth process, how they were positioned in the womb, or just the everyday stresses of being a newborn. By softly listening to and supporting your baby’s natural rhythms, CST helps their nervous system relax, making it easier for them to feed and latch comfortably, digest more peacefully, sleep more soundly, move freely, and feel overall calmer and happier. Sessions are done fully clothed, right in your arms or on the table, and most babies find them incredibly soothing—many even drift off to sleep!

How Craniosacral Therapy can help babies
Taking a proactive approach with Craniosacral can prevent the need for therapy later on which can save time and money. The earlier these issues are addressed the quicker and easier the results. A happier baby is a happier home.
Craniosacral Therapy is recommended for a mother during pregnancy for optimal comfort and positioning for mom and baby. It is also recommended for mother and baby soon after birth to help restore everything back to balance in a gentle and peaceful way for mom and baby.
