Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy

     Infant and newborn pediatric craniosacral therapy sessions are
offered as home visits with new parents.

Infant craniosacral therapy promotes bonding and attachment for new families, and helps relax baby. Research has shown that baby massage settles the nervous system of most babies, and promotes weight gain. Touch is vital to babies, and can help relieve the symptoms of colic, torticolis and nursing challenges. It can promote better sleep and sensory awareness, too. Infant massage also has many benefits for parents.

A baby’s cranium is made to shift and mold during birth. Sometimes, the process can be hard on babies. Most difficulties during birth and the prenatal period can resolve when the child comes into relationship with their parents after birth. However, sometimes a little more help is needed.

Baby bodywork sessions often take three-six sessions, and children take between 6 and 10 sessions before you see results. Home visits available for newborns and special circumstances!
