Craniosacral Therapy with Infants

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive form of bodywork rooted in Osteopathic Medicine. It focuses on encouraging the natural movement and balance of the body. When trauma disrupts this movement—whether from birth or other challenges—the body may struggle to function at its best.

For infants, CST is about tuning into the body’s innate intelligence and gently supporting it to work as intended. The birth process can exert significant forces on a baby’s body, and post-birth can bring its own set of challenges for both baby and family. From conception through delivery, there are many opportunities for physical and emotional patterns to form in response to trauma. CST helps release these patterns before they become ingrained.

Having worked with both infants and adults, I’ve witnessed how transformative this therapy can be for babies. Changes that might take multiple sessions in adults often happen for infants in just one session. Addressing these imbalances early allows babies to grow and thrive without carrying unresolved patterns from their earliest experiences.
