Craniosacral Therapy for Babies
Gentle support for feeding, sleep, and settling, helping your baby feel more comfortable and at ease
Supporting the body and nervous system with gentle, thoughtful care that works alongside medical treatment when needed
A gentle approach that works with your baby’s body
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with your baby’s nervous system.
Using light, careful touch, it supports the body to release tension that may have built up during pregnancy, birth, or early development.
Rather than forcing change, this approach allows your baby’s body to settle and regulate in its own time.
It is calm, non invasive, and always guided by your baby.
Supporting your baby to feel more settled and comfortable
Many babies experience tension in the early weeks and months, even when everything appears normal.
This can show up as:
- Feeding difficulties or latch issues
- Poor or disrupted sleep
Colic, reflux, or unsettled behaviour - Tongue tie related tension (before or after release)
- Repeated ear or throat infections
- Glue ear
Birth strain or trauma
This work helps by supporting the nervous system to settle, allowing your baby to feel more comfortable, regulated, and able to function more easily.
A calm, baby-led experience
Sessions are calm, quiet, and completely led by your baby. Your baby will usually remain fully clothed and can be held, fed, or comforted at any point during the session. Gentle touch is used to listen to the body and support areas of tension to release. There is no force or manipulation. Many parents notice their baby becoming more settled, relaxed, or comfortable both during and after sessions.
Support when something doesn’t feel quite right
If something doesn’t feel quite right, even if you cannot fully explain it, that is often enough reason to explore support.
You may feel:
- Something is being missed
- Your baby is uncomfortable but you are unsure why
- You have tried different approaches without clear progress
This work is about understanding what your baby’s body may be holding, and supporting it gently.

Introducing myself
Hi I'm Lisa and I'm a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist.
Our digestive systems starts right at the top - our tongue. Any disruption along this digestive system impacts how we are able to digest anything. Furthermore, if we digest food that we are unaware we're intolerant to or allergic to, or suffer from IBS, Crohns disease or other digestive diagnoses, our gut-brain connection is disrupted, our microbiome is disturbed and our liver which processes nutrients and vitamins etc is impacted. Add on daily stress or periods of stress, and our stress response between our brain-gut system (our enteric nervous system) often brings other unpleasant digestive symptoms. Craniosacral therapy aims to help us rebalance our digestive system using light-touch, to release patterns of tension in our connective tissues and unwind restrictions to support and restore more natural movement and function.
