Craniosacral Therapy for Children and Babies

From the moment of conception, a child’s life is a whirlwind of change and development. These many changes bring along their own challenges and it can be helpful to have a range of supportive “tools” to address the issues. Craniosacral Therapy is one such tool and is ideal for babies and children since the touch is extremely gentle and there is no need for clothing to be removed. I respond to what I feel in a client’s body, so that a person of any age can be said to direct the session. This is vitally important when working with a child who may understandably have little control over some aspects of their life and wellbeing. Craniosacral Therapy enables them to begin the important process of being aware of, and responsible for, their own physical and emotional health. If a baby or child has had a stressful birth, Craniosacral Therapy can help relieve associated tensions and symptoms – perhaps enabling them to relax and enjoy life for the first time. It is not necessary for words to be used to convey how the treatment is being experienced, so it is ideal for babies and children with no, or limited, speech.
