Biodynamic craniosacral therapy for babies (& mums)

Biodynamic craniosacral therapy for babies

What to expect:

Younger babies are often treated while being held by a parent. Treatment can be given during breastfeeding or bottle feeding and sometimes, with mobile babies, on the floor. Jenny uses her sensitivity to closely observe a baby’s body language, making eye contact and using a refined felt sense and touch to tune into subtle rhythms within the body to facilitate healing. It is non-manipulative. Throughout Jenny will follow your baby’s impulses and encourage you to do so too. Most babies find it to be relaxing and smile throughout. Though some babies will use the opportunity to express emotions related to their early experiences – see this memory crying article for more info. It is permission-based – led by your child. For best results, mothers usually need to receive cranio treatment too – see below for more info on mum and bub treatments. Babies with food sensitivities may not respond as well to treatment.

After a session: Changes that occur in the body following the treatment tend to take a few days to integrate, some babies may be unsettled for 24 hours, others will sleep longer than usual. This is normal. It is also common for the feeling of peace and well being to spill over to the parents during and after the session.

Mum and bub sessions

Mums and babies nervous systems coregulate so it’s a good idea for mothers (or fathers) to get treatment too. This will rebalance both nervous systems, supporting mothers to integrate their own birth experience and boosting baby’s healing response to the therapy. See this article for more info

What to expect:

Ideally mum would receive treatment first but flexibility is required when working with babies. Sometimes the baby will not respond to the treatment until mum has some treatment first. Sessions revolve around the mood of the baby. If baby is asleep – mum can have treatment first. If baby is awake, cranio treatment may settle baby to sleep so mum can have treatment afterwards. Sometimes mum and baby are on the treatment table together. It can be helpful to have another caregiver around to care for the baby while mum receives treatment, especially with older babies.
