bodywork.
Health is found in our ability to move! Digestion, development, healing, and growth, all require movement to occur optimally. Particularly after birth, babies and moms tend to have some tight sticky spots in their fascia that can interfere with function all around, making postpartum harder than it needs to be. Enter Bodywork!
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands on treatment that uses light pressure to relieve tension in the soft tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This modality is perfect for tender new moms and babies, but also dads, teens, and even athletes!
Bodywork for Babies brings gentle fascial work to craniosacral therapy, encouraging the body to release tension from every part of the system without force.
If you and/or your baby experienced or are dealing with any of the following, you would both likely benefit from bodywork:
Cesarean births
Very long or very fast vaginal births
Inability to latch or causing damage to mom’s nipples with the latch
Traumatic body experiences like NICU stays or circumcision
Tongue ties, both to avoid and to heal from releases
For babies with reflux, colic, constipation, rashes, torticollis, or poor weight gain
A baby who is not meeting their developmental milestones
Head shape concerns
Babies who has been breech in utero
Choking, gulping, or squeaking while drinking, breast or bottles
Babies who cannot take a bottle
And much more!
