Working with the little ones
I am trained and passionate about working with newborns and children. Gentle myofascial and craniosacral techniques help to release tension in the cranium, organs, and musculoskeletal structures to make it easier for a baby to move, eat, sleep, and play with ease. As part of this work, I love teaching parents how to massage and soothe their baby outside of our sessions.
Pediatric bodywork can be helpful for:
-breastfeeding issues
-abdominal distress
-labor + birth trauma
-falls + impacts
-trouble sleeping
-cranial nerve function
-chronic illness
-guiding healthy alignment patterns
-behavioral problems or sensory disorders
This work is done fully clothed with a parent present, and the child can move freely throughout the session. The sessions are prorated and generally run from 30-60 minutes depending on the age and comfort of the child.
Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage is essential for new moms. The adjustments to motherhood come with an often overlooked recovery process in the body that can feel overwhelming. Massage (and PT in some cases) is a supportive resource during those first 6 weeks of healing and can help with hormone regulation, better sleep, improved breastfeeding, reduced swelling, and reduced anxiety and depression. Massage can also help to balance pelvic rotation and promote scar tissue healing. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again, while honoring the recovery process after 9 months of hard work with a brand new baby to care for.
I can combine working on parent and baby in one session- infants generally receive up to 30 minutes of work, and the rest of the session is focused on the parent while monitoring and staying present to the needs of the child. We can work together to adjust anything in the room in order to make it work for you.
