World Breastfeeding Week is about feeding with love and intention. Whether you breastfeed, pump, bottle-feed, or combo-feed, we honor your journey. CST is here to support whatever path you take.

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🍼Bottle-feeding families, we see you! Craniosacral therapy supports optimal oral development regardless of how your baby feeds. Did you know IBCLCs can help with bottle feeding too?

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🤝
It’s not just about the mouth. Babies feed with their whole body! If there’s tension in the spine, pelvis, or diaphragm, feeding can be a struggle. CST unwinds these areas so feeding flows better.

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🪴
Sometimes what looks like a latch issue is actually a body tension issue. Cranial compression from birth or tongue/lip tie can interfere with function. CST gently helps restore balance.

World Breastfeeding Week 2025! 🙌
We love collaborating with lactation consultants! When CST and IBCLC care work together, we can help address latch issues, oral restrictions, and feeding stress from a root level.

World Breastfeeding Week 2025!🤱
Breast/chestfeeding shouldn’t hurt! Craniosacral therapy helps release tension in baby’s jaw, neck, and cranial bones, often leading to a deeper, more comfortable latch.

Coming to Baltimore this September! Both a virtual AND in-person training. I did my training 11 years ago with Center for Babywearing Studies and thrilled to have them come to my community and teach new educators- we need more!

Three days ago we released the two newest blog posts on the Nourish and Align website! The first blog is about a guest post written by a parent who generously shares her personal story of healing after a traumatic birth. In this honest reflection she speaks about how craniosacral therapy supported her recovery and helped her reconnect with her body and her baby. It’s a powerful story, and I’m honored to hold space for her words. A big thank you to Sarah

In the second blog, I’m sharing more about how CST works and why it can be such a meaningful support for both birth parents and infants during the postpartum period. Whether you’re in it yourself or supporting someone who is, these posts were created with care and compassion. I hope they’re helpful. I hope you enjoy these reads and please pass them along to anyone who might need them 💖

🎉I’m so excited to share my journey with you in a recent blog interview! From my first experience with babywearing back in 2003 to becoming a trained babywearing educator, it’s been an incredible adventure.

👶🏽My passion for babywearing has grown as my family has, and it’s led me to pursue certifications in both babywearing education and craniosacral therapy, all in hopes of helping families feel more connected and supported in their parenting journey.

🤱🏻In the interview, I talk about the functional benefits of babywearing, not just as a transportation tool, but as a way to support your baby’s physical development and emotional well-being.

✨ Ready to read the full story? ✨ Head to the blog post to dive deeper into my journey, learn about how babywearing can support your baby’s growth, and how I’ve integrated these practices into my work as a lactation consultant and craniosacral therapist.

🦷✨ The Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy with Braces ✨🦷
•
Did you know that craniosacral therapy (CST) can help your child after getting braces? 🦷 My 4th had a positive experience getting hers on earlier this year at . Braces straighten teeth, but while doing so they can also create tension in the jaw, face, and nervous system. Here’s how CST can support your child’s healing journey:
🌟 Release Tension: Braces can create tightness in the jaw and cranial bones. CST helps gently release that tension for smoother movement and comfort.
🌟 Support Jaw Alignment: CST promotes better jaw alignment, reducing the risk of long-term issues like TMJ dysfunction and improving overall bite.
🌟 Reduce Headaches & Facial Pain: CST alleviates tension that can lead to headaches, migraines, and facial discomfort.
🌟 Balance the Nervous System: CST promotes relaxation and stress relief, helping your child feel more comfortable throughout their orthodontic journey.
🌟 Improve Posture: Braces can sometimes affect posture. CST restores balance to the body, supporting better alignment and movement.
🌟 Enhance Emotional Well-Being: Orthodontic treatment can be stressful. CST helps release emotional tension, making the whole process more relaxing for your child.
Whether your child just got braces or had them for a while, craniosacral therapy can make a big difference in their overall comfort and health. 👐✨
