Babies come into this world expecting to be held. From the moment they arrive, they seek the warmth, comfort, and security of their caregiver’s arms. Babywearing is a beautiful way to honor that need, and during International Babywearing Week, we get to celebrate just how powerful it can be for both parents and little ones.

Birth trauma can linger in the body and the nervous system long after the birth. These experiences often leave imprints on the nervous system, manifesting as anxiety, overwhelm, difficulty bonding, chronic tension, or even persistent pain. That’s where craniosacral therapy (CST) can play a gentle yet transformative role in the healing journey for both parent and baby.

While my focus has shifted to Craniosacral Therapy (CST), my background as an IBCLC informs every aspect of my approach.
