Cranial Sacral Therapy
What is your baby telling you?
Your baby is a sweet spirit that uses different body language and vocal cues to communicate. I often hear mothers concerned that their baby is uncomfortable or in pain being told "they are just a difficult baby, lazy, or they will grow out of it." Your baby is telling us how they feel, what is wrong! I'm here to listen with you.
Cranial sacral therapy is a gentle massage for your baby that can assist in removing restrictions and restore natural body alignment and comfort. I will listen to you and your baby to find a comfortable position using a gentle touch. You will often find me working on your baby while rocking or on the floor doing tummy time with your little one, helping them understand their own bodies and assist with their long term development.

Testimonials
“Working with Rachel has been one of the most helpful things in early postpartum. She provides so much insight & helps make sure my breastfeeding journey is off to a strong start. Even as a second time mom it was so reassuring to have her check my babies latch & ensure they were transferring milk effectively. Positioning tips etc. are hugely beneficial as well!
Rachel did cranial sacral therapy on both of my girls & I saw a huge difference in latch & comfort when nursing. Particularly my second baby had a very tight upper lip when she was born, so much it was making her nose appear crooked! Rachel did the body work & we literally watched her upper lip relax, her nose change & even the shape of her head adjust….it was amazing! Afterwards she was latching more evenly on both sides while feeding. I’d highly recommend her help here!”

"I was referred to Rachel by my daughter’s physical therapist because she was having increased difficulty nursing and breastfeeding due to a tongue tie. From the very first visit I knew we were in the best hands. She combined her deep knowledge with the most gentle, encouraging approach, and within just two sessions we were successfully breastfeeding, something I wasn’t sure would even be possible! Her cranial sacral techniques worked wonders, and she was always there to troubleshoot whenever new challenges came up.
What stood out most was how genuinely she cared, checking in on us after our appointments, making sure we were still doing well, and offering guidance whenever we needed it. Rachel made me feel completely supported and comfortable during a time that can feel so overwhelming. I am endlessly grateful for her help and could not recommend her enough to any parent on their feeding journey or anyone considering cranial sacral therapy for their little one."

"........Her knowledge and experience is impressive and extremely valuable. She has tons of connections in the field that helped me find connect with other professionals that together allowed for us to successfully get my son to nurse without having his tongue tie clipped/lasered. In addition to doing some chiropractic work and seeing a pediatric dentist (all recommended by Rachel) I worked with Rachel to meet my goal of solely nursing. Seeing the dentist was to have the tongue tie lasered which I chose not to do especially after taking Rachel’s suggestion and doing cranial sacral body work with him."
