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 releases, the use of helmets for plagiocephaly, and surgery. Working with the fascia, also called the connective tissue, 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 parents, and I can speak to a variety of topics that new families encounter from their birth experience to lactation and baby carriers!

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.

“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.”
