Touch is an important aspect in healing, especially through massage + bodywork.

Her infant practice supports babies through their transition to life outside of the womb, breastfeeding, and growing into strong and healthy infants.
HERBAL COMPRESS THERAPY
A traditional Thai massage technique using a steamed herbal compress (a blend of medicinal herbs compactly wrapped in cotton). Steaming the compress releases the essential oils and active ingredients, invigorating aromatherapeutic benefits in addition to release of the muscles, fascia and tension held in the body. This general health compress blend features bright and nourishing traditional southeast Asian herbs that warm and uplift the senses while also detoxifying the body and softening the tissues. Herbal compresses are our chosen remedy for tight or aching muscles, lingering coughs, menstrual cramps, digestive distress, arthritis and joint injury, scar tissue, lymphatic support, and postpartum recovery. Two herbal compresses will be used during your session and sent home with you with instructions for personal use and storage.

INFANT CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Infant CST is gentle manual therapy for newborns that removes restrictions, stimulates nerves, and helps to balance birth injury and non-injury related concerns many newborn infants experience. CST helps to normalize the baby's central nervous system and improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. This helps to calm and soothe babies and may reduce or eliminate many newborn problems such as colic, latch or feeding problems, irritability, structural birth complications, tongue tie, Cesarean birth effects, and more.

Follow-ups - 30 minutes / $80
MOTHER + INFANT CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Gentle therapy for those pregnant, preparing to give birth, recently postpartum and newborns. CST addresses breastfeeding concerns for mom and baby such as colic, latch or feeding problems, irritability, structural birth complications, tongue tie, Cesarean birth effects, and more. If your newborn or infant is experiencing gas, constipation, torticollis, gastric reflux, unexplained fussiness, flathead, hyper/hypotonia, teething, ear infections or any birth injury, this session can help to address baby’s concerns and address the parent(s) stress and tension as well. Session can be focused solely on baby (in utero or on the outside), on mom and baby together, or both parents and baby - as you adjust into life as a larger family CST can be a gentle facilitator to support those big changes.

Craniosacral therapy will be used to bring harmony to the nervous system and other systems of the body.
