Craniosacral rhythm, also known as craniosacral motion, is the flow and rhythmic pulsation of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the craniosacral system.

The craniosacral system surrounds, protects, nourishes and cleanses the brain and spinal cord — using CST allows me to optimize the flow of cerebrospinal fluid into and out of the central nervous system, identifying any irregularities or restrictions and restoring balance.

Want to learn more about craniosacral rhythm, and how I use it within my practice? Visit my website for more information, or to book an appointment.

With so much advice out there for new parents, it can be hard to know what truly matters—especially when it comes to newborn sleep.

Here’s a gentle reminder:

✨ It’s biologically normal for babies to want to be held or nursed to sleep. ✨ You are not creating bad habits. You’re responding to your baby’s needs.

If short naps in your arms bring comfort to you and your little one, that is exactly what’s right for you both.

Trust yourself. Tune out the pressure. Soak in the snuggles—they won’t last forever 🤍

When your child sleeps with lips gently closed and tongue elevated resting on the roof of their mouth, it encourages nasal breathing and supports healthy mouth and facial development.

But this optimal oral rest posture doesn’t always happen naturally or right away, and that’s okay! With the right guidance, most little ones can learn to adopt these patterns over time.

Are you looking for further support? I’m here to help—visit my website.

As World Breastfeeding Week 2025 continues, we’re looking deeper into this year’s theme: Invest in Breastfeeding, Invest in the Future, and why it matters for all of us.

Why invest in breastfeeding? Because it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to:
 ✔️ Improve public health ✔️ Strengthen economies ✔️ Support future generations

Breastfeeding doesn’t just nourish, it protects. It provides essential antibodies, reduces the risk of common childhood illnesses, and has long-term health benefits for both babies and mothers.

What can you do?
 🌟 Support the mums in your life — as partners, friends, family, and coworkers.
 🌟 Speak up for policies and workplaces that allow breastfeeding anytime, anywhere.
 🌟 Share the facts, because when we normalize and protect breastfeeding, we’re investing in a healthier future.

It’s officially World Breastfeeding Week 2025 🤍

This year’s theme, “Invest in Breastfeeding, Invest in the Future,” is a powerful reminder that supporting breastfeeding isn’t just about doing what’s right, but it’s one of the smartest investments we can make in global health and development.

Under the banner of WHO’s Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures campaign, WBW shines a spotlight on how we can create a system that empowers women to breastfeed for as long as they choose.

That means: ✨ Investing in skilled breastfeeding counselling ✨ Enforcing the Code on marketing of breast-milk substitutes ✨ Creating supportive environments at home, in healthcare, and in the workplace

Let’s continue to build a future where breastfeeding is protected, supported, and celebrated—for healthier children, stronger families, and thriving societies.

Children are phenomenal in their natural healing capacity, often not pausing before they throw themselves from one crash into the next Band-Aid crisis.

Often I see children because they have pain or an asymmetry that doesn’t resolve. Some examples could be: the child is limping, has one foot turned out or in more than the other, uses one arm much less than the other or keeps their head tilted in a certain way. All are clues that there are some structural issues at hand.

This treatment can be done through or around clothing, and is light, specific and comforting. Here are a few of the issues that can be help by paediatric treatments:

〰 Hip rotations
〰 Constipation
〰 Anxiety
〰 Strains
〰 Torticollis
〰 Plagiocephaly

If you’re looking for more information or guidance on paediatric treatments for your child, reach out to me via my website.

For all of the new faces around here, I thought I would reintroduce myself 👋

I’ve been in practice for over 25 years and I love the human body! It is an amazing network of cells, tubes and fluid that has empowered us to go to the moon, create cell phones and produce stunningly beautiful works of art.

I spend a lot of time studying, testing, touching and moving the body to try to bring it back into balance, to open up the potential for the body’s own innate healing system to shine and bring the body back into harmony.

Better balance for my clients means they have increased opportunities to create a richer life for themselves and the people around them, it means less pain, better functioning immune system and more easily engaging in living, loving and laughing.

I especially love working with children, their healing potential is so untapped and when their world view is restricted by fascial torsions or nerve entrapments, their potential is a little dimmed. Using very gentle work to release restrictions can help them to really shine, as they grow, they can make better choices because they choose from a more open place.

There is so much to learn and so much to be thankful for every day; that we breathe without thought, that we can feel, that we can think, that we can ambulate and make toast. All this because we have cells and tubes and a little spit.

Breastfeeding is about more than just nourishment—it’s movement, learning, and connection ✨

Did you know that babies are not only biologically driven to breastfeed, but that the latching process helps your little one to develop the foundation for movement?

As babies work to latch, they engage and coordinate muscles throughout their body, laying the foundation for future movement and milestones. By supporting (rather than doing all the work for) your baby during feeding, you’re helping them build strength, coordination, and confidence.

Every baby is different, and some need a little more support along the way. If you’re navigating latch challenges or want guidance with breastfeeding, I’m here for you. Visit my website to learn more or reach out 💛

After a c-section, it’s completely normal for the skin around your scar to feel numb, sensitive, or tight—this happens because nerves and tissues were affected during surgery.⁠
⁠
Once your scar has fully healed, gentle scar massage is a great way to reconnect with your body, encourage tissue mobility, and help prevent adhesions or future pelvic pain.⁠
⁠
Here’s how to get started at home:⁠
✨ Begin with using light pressure with your fingers about 2–3 inches away from your scar⁠
✨ Slowly move closer as your comfort increases⁠
✨ Try gentle movements: up/down, side to side, and small circles⁠
⁠
Consistency is key, and listening to your body is everything.⁠
⁠
Have questions about your c-section recovery? I’m here to help. Send me a message or book an appointment.

Do you still do tummy time with your little one?

Even as your baby gets older and is able to sit up independently, tummy time is still incredibly beneficial! It helps continue to build strength, support motor development, and gives them a whole new view of the world around them.

So keep going with the tummy time! Their growing body and curious mind will thank you ✨
