Pregnancy, birth and the postnatal year is a particularly significant time of change and transformation in body, mind and emotions of a mother. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, safe therapy to support mothers during this entire period: encouraging a more comfortable pregnancy and optimal environment for baby, to all aspects of postpartum recovery.
For Babies
During the birth journey: whether natural, assisted or caesarean section babies' bodies experience much movement, squeezing, moulding and shaping and sometimes pulling to be born. Craniosacral therapy is known for its beneficial treatment of babies as they recover from birth, release stresses and tension and helpful for settling babies suffering from poor sleep and restlessness. Craniosacral therapy in the early postpartum period can also prevent some breastfeeding challenges by enhancing baby's tongue thrust, sucking reflex and latch.
The treatment is gentle and non-invasive. Babies can be treated while asleep, or feeding, or cradled in their mother’s arms.
