Craniosacral Therapy for Babies, Mums-to-be and New Mums

CST can help all stages of pregnancy and postpartum. It is particularly beneficial for babies who have experienced trauma during the birthing process. Treatments for expectant, new mums and babies are safe, comfortable and relaxing.

Often when a baby has issues such as irritability, colic, trouble sleeping or feeding difficulties, the cause can be traced back to trauma and shock experienced during childbirth.

CST is a gentle, effective treatment for newborns that can rebalance the nervous system whilst easing and releasing restrictions that have been caused by compressive forces during labour and birth.

Craniosacral therapy is perfect for babies and children as the touch is very gentle and there is no need for clothing to be removed. 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.

Craniosacral therapy can help a woman’s body gently adjust to the many changes created by pregnancy, it can also help prepare her body for labour in a calm and supported way.

CST can help with morning sickness, fatigue, pubic symphysis pain, back pain, a low immune system and many other symptoms felt during all stages of pregnancy. Treatment can also help with hormonal balance, improve energy levels and ease stress and tension - helping prepare the mother for birth.

After the birth, treatment can also aid in the mother’s postnatal recovery and help re-align her body. It’s safe to come for treatment at any time during pregnancy and postpartum.

New babies are especially sensitive to how their mothers are feeling in the weeks following birth. If you are feeling well, they are more likely to feel calm and settled. 

  • “Suna’s gentle and nurturing nature is a gift when it comes to Craniosacral Therapy, and if you’re pregnant – even more so, as both you and baby feel held with respect and softness. Suna helped me with releasing some pain in my hips and pelvic area and we reached a very deep place of relaxation and softening, which was just what my weary, pregnant body needed! Thank you Suna for being so trustworthy and professional.”
