Infant/Newborn Craniosacral and Somatic Pre/Perinatal & Birth Trauma Therapies
We can envision and plan out how we’d like a birth to unfold, but in the wild ride that is life, things don’t always go the way we’d hoped. And we can’t always control what interventions are needed to welcome our little ones. Going from a comforting womb into a brightly lit, fast-moving hospital scenario can feel shocking to a newborn’s nervous system.
The perception of experience from an infant’s developing brain is thru a different lens than what our adult brains can understand. New parents already have perfect parenting instincts, but often just need a little extra support.
I’ll work with you and your little one to renegotiate the transition that is the birth experience.
Especially helpful for difficult births
CST and Somatic PPN work is especially helpful for complications from difficult births, i.e., long-labor, fast birth, C-section, cord-wrapping, breach, forceps, pitocin, and epidurals.
Symptoms addressed
Symptoms include trouble latching to the breast, difficulty turning the head to one side, colic, constipation, sinus/ear issues, tongue-tie, etc.
Babies respond well to CST
Babies are resilient, and respond quickly to this work. In most cases, I’ve only needed to see an infant 1-2 times for a specific issue.
2-For-1 “Special”
When moms feel supported, their babies feel a sense of calm and security due to physiological co-regulation. It’s easy to focus all of our attention on a newborn’s needs. But a short-cut to addressing those needs is to provide support for mom. Mom and baby can be on the table together and receive a session simultaneously.
