Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that uses light touch to address areas of tension and support more comfortable movement and function. My approach is based on training through the Upledger Institute and is adapted to the individual needs of each child.

Rather than focusing on a specific diagnosis or how something looks, I focus on function—how the body is moving, coordinating, and working together. Gentle manual techniques may be used to support relaxation, mobility, comfort, and more efficient movement as part of a whole-child approach to care.

Craniosacral therapy provided as a stand-alone service is not currently covered by insurance. Private pay options are available for families who would like to include gentle manual therapy as part of their child’s care.

Gentle manual techniques may be especially helpful as part of care for newborns and young children when physical tension or movement patterns are affecting function. For infants, this may include feeding difficulties, birth-related tension, limited movement, torticollis, or head and facial asymmetry.

When appropriate, manual techniques can be incorporated into feeding therapy to support more comfortable positioning, oral movement, and feeding function. They may also be used as a complementary approach for concerns such as digestive discomfort or difficulty settling and sleeping.

Each session is gentle, individualized, and guided by the child's responses and functional needs.
