Craniosacral therapy is suitable for babies from newborn stage

From birth, your baby’s body holds patterns from their journey into the world. Sometimes these show up as feeding difficulties, unsettled sleep, colic, or general discomfort.


Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that helps your baby’s body release tension, supporting them to feel more at ease.


I offer baby-led, responsive CST sessions designed to support your baby’s natural ability to soften, settle, and heal.



What Is Craniosacral Therapy?


CST uses soft, listening touch to work with your baby’s craniosacral system, which connects the head, spine, and nervous system. This quiet, gentle approach encourages the release of tension patterns from birth, feeding, and early development.


Each session is respectful, baby-led, and works with your little one’s pace and needs.



How Can CST Help My Baby?


CST may support babies experiencing:

  • Feeding or latch difficulties

  • Digestive discomfort, colic, or wind

  • Restless sleep or difficulty settling

  • Tension from fast, long, or assisted births

  • General unsettled behaviour or body tightness


Sessions are suitable from newborn onwards and can support both recent and older challenges.


What to Expect in a Session


  • A calm, unhurried atmosphere

  • Baby remains fully clothed

  • Gentle touch, always guided by your baby’s responses

  • You are fully involved and supported throughout


Each session is unique, honouring your baby’s story and natural pace of release.


CST for New Mothers


I also offer CST sessions for mothers, as the benefits to mothers following birth are considerable.


These benefits include:

  • Postpartum tension release

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Headaches, neck and shoulder strain

  • General support for relaxation and recovery after birth


Craniosacral Therapy in My Work


In all my work I am passionate about providing nurturing, responsive support to help babies and families find ease after birth. This led me to train in CST.


I have completed Foundations, Level 1, and Level 2 in craniosacral therapy with Beames CST, specialising in working with babies.


Option to Include in Postpartum Doula Care


Each of my Postpartum Doula Care packages includes the option to provide craniosacral therapy treatments for you and your baby. (additional fees apply)


This is a wonderful opportunity to explore CST and experience the benefits for you both in a safe, calm space.



Book a Standalone CST Treatment


If you don’t require postpartum doula care, but would like to book a CST treatment with me, I will be delighted to help.



Ready to Book?
