Pediatric CranioSacral Therapy

As an advanced practitioner of CranioSacral Therapy with pediatric training, I’ve been blessed with an adorable deluge of little ones, some of them as young as 2 weeks old!  What a joy to help a brand new human get a healthy start on life!

​

Where are all these babies coming from?  Well, I started considering pediatrics after many of my clients and colleagues requested this service for their own little ones.  And then, women with high-risk pregnancies started to come for treatment, and wanted to plan in advance for the needs of their babies. I’d resisted for years because I’m not a mom myself. I didn’t feel qualified, but people who knew that about me just kept on asking, so…here we are!  Much to my delight, I felt right at home in the CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics class, especially when the highly skilled instructor told us that she herself isn’t a mom.  In that class, we learned important information about the developing brain and skull of a baby, which necessitates very specific modifications of the CranioSacral therapy techniques used on older children and adults.  In addition to the class prerequisite of being advanced CranioSacral Therapy practitioners, we also received hands-on, supervised, clinical experience treating babies and small children, while also treating and supporting the needs of their parents and siblings….at the same time.  Delightful chaos to say the least, and amazing practice for the realities of life in my treatment room.
