Craniosacral Therapy for Children
Gentle support for your child's physical and emotional wellbeing

Gentle Support for Growing Children
Children respond beautifully to craniosacral therapy. Using an exceptionally gentle touch, I work with your child's body to release tension, support their nervous system, and help them feel more settled and balanced. The treatment is completely non-invasive and many children find it calming and enjoyable.

What Happens During a Session
Flexible & Gentle
Sessions last 30-45 minutes. Your child can sit, lie down, or even play quietly. I adapt my approach to suit their comfort and personality.
Parents Welcome
You're always welcome to stay. For younger children, I often work with them on your lap. Your child's comfort is most important.
Non-Intrusive
The touch is incredibly gentle. Many children relax deeply or fall asleep. Others chat or play—all perfectly fine.
Pricing
The initial session includes time to discuss your child's health history and needs.
What Parents Say
Helen helped our 6-year-old daughter with anxiety and sleep issues. The transformation has been incredible. Lucy is calmer, sleeping better, and so much happier. We can't thank Helen enough.

Frequently Asked Questions
How young can children be for treatment?
I treat children from birth onwards. The approach I use varies depending on age—newborns and infants receive very gentle treatment, often while feeding or being held by a parent.
Will my child need to lie still?
No. While some children naturally become still and relaxed during treatment, others prefer to move around, chat, or play. I adapt my approach to suit your child's needs and temperament.
How many sessions will we need?
This varies. Some families come for a few sessions to address a specific issue, while others find regular sessions support their child's ongoing wellbeing. We can discuss what might work best after the initial consultation.
Is it safe for children with additional needs?
Craniosacral therapy is very gentle and can be beneficial for children with various additional needs. Please discuss your child's specific situation with me so we can ensure the treatment is appropriate and adapted to their needs.
What should my child wear?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. Your child remains fully clothed throughout the session.
