GENTLE & EFFECTIVE BODYWORK 
Bodywork with newborns, infants and children has a profound and immediate effect on their overall wellness, including improvements in latch, digestion, sleep and weight gain. Working with the fascia in newborns and children can help to undo the negative effects of poor positioning in utero, birth trauma, exposure to drugs, toxins and infections, and invasive procedures or emotionally traumatic events. Bodywork also improves the results from other procedures such as lip and tongue revisions, the use of helmets for plagiocephaly, and surgery. Working with the fascia, also called the connective tissue, of babies is gentle and effective, relaxing both the baby and their parents. As a mother and former birth doula, I have many techniques for calming babies to make the treatments even more pleasurable for the baby, and I can speak to a variety of topics that new families encounter from their birth experience to lactation and baby carriers! 

How Craniosacral Fascial Therapy and Bodywork for your baby can help:

Everyone wants their babies to be as happy, healthy, strong, and smart as they can be. Craniosacral Therapy (CFT) can help support these goals in numerous ways. CFT has been found to optimize the function of the brain and spinal cord, creates a "structural immunity: for active and growing children, and significantly decreases the incidence of at least 15 diseases. 

If your baby is experiencing any of the following, Craniosacral Fascial Therapy can help:
  • restlessness and fussiness
  • molding of the cranial bones
  • inconsolable crying
  • torticollis
  • difficulty with sleeping
  • digestive problems
  • difficulty with nursing
  • colic
  • respiratory problems
  • structural problems after assisted delivery
  • imbalance in baby’s structure or movements
  • bonding and attachment issues

Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy is a gentle healing modality that provides patients with a freely moving brain, spinal cord and fascial web, all critical to optimal health. Dr. Barry Gillespie, the founder of this therapy, also created the Baby Brain Score and discovered the Infant-Driven Movement concept and resulting therapeutic techniques for babies.
“When a child is born, its sense-organs are brought in contact with the outer world. The waves of sound, heat, and light beat upon its feeble body, its sensitive nerve fibres quiver, the muscles contract and relax in obedience: a gasp, a breath, and in this act a marvelous little engine, of inconceivable delicacy and complexity of construction, unlike any on earth, is hitched to the wheel-work of the Universe.”
--Nikola Tesla
