Gentle, nurturing support for your baby's earliest days and months
Infant Care
Supporting Your Baby's Health and Comfort
Birth is an intense physical experience for babies, and sometimes they need a little extra support to release tension and settle into life outside the womb. Using an exceptionally gentle touch—no more than the weight of a coin—craniosacral therapy can help your baby feel more comfortable, settled, and content.
Feeding Support
Breast or bottle feeding difficulties
Comfort & Settling
Colic, reflux, and excessive crying
Sleep & Rest
Sleep difficulties and unsettled babies
Birth Recovery
Tension from forceps, ventouse, c-section, or tongue tie
What to Expect in a Session
Gentle & Flexible
Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes. Your baby can be held in your arms, lie on the treatment table next to you, or even feed during treatment.
Understanding Your Baby
I'll ask about your pregnancy, birth, and any concerns. This helps me understand your baby's unique experience and provide the most appropriate treatment.
Natural Responses
Babies often become very relaxed and may fall asleep. Some become more alert and engaged. Both responses are perfectly normal and beneficial.
Pricing
The initial session includes a full consultation about pregnancy, birth, and feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after birth can I bring my baby?
You can bring your baby as soon as you feel ready to leave the house. Some parents come within the first few days, while others wait a few weeks. There's no 'right' time—whenever you feel your baby needs support is the right time.
Is it safe for newborns?
Yes, craniosacral therapy is extremely gentle and safe for newborns. The touch I use is incredibly light and babies often find it soothing and calming.
Can I feed my baby during the session?
Absolutely. In fact, working with babies while they're feeding can be particularly effective. Bring whatever you need to keep your baby comfortable.
What if my baby cries during treatment?
If your baby becomes unsettled, we'll take a break. Your baby's comfort is the priority. Some babies do release tension through crying, which is a normal response, but we'll always respect what your baby needs.
How many sessions will we need?
This varies. Some babies show improvement after just one session, particularly with issues like feeding difficulties. Others benefit from 2-4 sessions. Babies with more complex birth experiences may need a few more. We'll discuss your baby's individual needs.
Can craniosacral therapy help with tongue tie?
Yes, I work with babies both before and after tongue tie release. Treatment can help release compensatory tension in the jaw, neck, and head, supporting better feeding.
