Most of my clients are newborn babies
brought in by their parents. Some of
them are referrals from Doulas (for which I am grateful to be able to support
more and more mothers (and fathers) and babies.
During this difficult times of Covid19
Circuit Breakers mothers with newborn babies are experiencing challenges day to
day and they remain overwhelmed. I would
like to support you and your babies.
Why Craniosacral?
A baby has to make a number of
twists and turns of his head and neck (and whole body) during birth process. As your baby passes through the birth canal, not only his
head will change positions, the bones in his skull will overlap to enable him
to fit and move through mother’s pelvis.
We may see a normal looking head and a
lovely baby with ten toes and ten fingers.
We do not see how things are inside baby’s head and his body
system. The trauma to baby’s head during birth, especially difficult births
after extended labour or excessive pushing during labour or intensified contractions
from the use of pitosin to restart labour after an epidural, there is a
possibility that baby’s cranial bones are sustaining too much pressure far too
long a time while in the birth canal.
While
baby’s head resumes its normal shape after some time, the cranial bones may remain
overlapped and the cranial nerves that exit the cranial base may get
compromised. This irritates the cranial nerves, impairing their function
and resulting in numerous signs and symptoms, so often observed in newborns,
such as:
- Misshapen head
- Incessant crying
- Breastfeeding issues
- Torticollis
- Colics (digestive difficulties, intestinal cramps,
flatulence)
- Sleep issues
Birth trauma may have lifelong
consequences. Not only babies, parents
too, especially mothers.
Mothers and fathers are overwhelmed, exhausted, experiencing lack of
sleep and feelings of helplessness. There
are many stressors that affect new mothers and new fathers and they too can get
a craniosacral therapy for themselves.
When parents are resourced, calm and focused, babies will feel safe and
calm.
The
good news: CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY can help with no manipulation, no force,
no pressure, no needles and no drugs.
With light gentle hands, this gentle therapy can help your body to RESETthe function of the nervous system, RESTORE a state of balance in the
other systems in your body and allow you to REGAIN health and wellness.
