Are you and your little one dealing with feeding challenges, suspicion of tongue or lip ties, excess gas, head-turn preferences, head shape concerns, or effects from a traumatic or difficult birth?

With a background in diagnosing adult swallowing disorders and specialized training in infant feeding, I bring a unique approach to my craniosacral therapy practice. I work with babies experiencing a range of concerns, including latching and feeding difficulties, tethered oral tissues, neck stiffness and tension, torticollis, digestive issues, head shape imbalances, and birth-related trauma.
For infants, because feeding involves the whole body, tension or imbalance in one area can often affect a baby’s comfort and efficiency when eating. My goal is to release these tension patterns to support alignment and mobility using gentle craniosacral techniques. When oral function concerns are present, I draw on my expertise to provide customized at-home activities that support feeding comfort and overall development, helping babies find ease and balance in their bodies.
How Craniosacral Can Help
Supporting the physical body: Light-touch manual techniques release restrictions from bones and tissues in the body, allowing for greater ease of mobility and optimized function.
Supporting the nervous system: As restrictions in the tissues of the body and nervous system release, unwind tension patterns and improve function. This helps shift the body away from getting stuck in “fight, flight or freeze” mode, and supports regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
