BECAUSE BABIES NEED SOME (MOTHER)LOVIN' TOO

CST is a gentle form of bodywork that helps to identify and treat common
​but challenging issues that a baby may experience.
Treatment is especially helpful for babies who are:
  • having difficulties feeding
  • showing signs of or being treated for reflux
  • favouring one side while feeding, sleeping or during tummy time
  • having difficulties sleeping or linking sleep cycles
  • experiencing excessive gassiness or stomach issues
  • showing signs of colic/unexplained fussiness
  • recovering from birth (instrumental deliveries, cesareans, induction, prolonged or precipitous birth, resuscitation, intubation, separation from birther, malposition during labour, etc.)
  • hitting milestones such as rolling, crawling or sitting up without assistance

Treatment information
When I arrive at your home, I will begin with a health history for the birther and an intake about pregnancy, birth and life with baby. Then I begin assessment and treatment however baby is most comfortable -- either in your arms, in my arms or on a safe, flat surface. The CST session may include intra-oral work, especially if there are any feeding issues. Shifts will begin to happen during treatment but will continue to happen well after I leave, so I will provide you with home-care exercises to help support that process. Babies benefit most from 2-3 sessions, and I recommend the first 45 minute follow-up treatment 3-7 days after our initial appointment.

Booking information
The best time to book your baby in for treatment is:
  • As soon after birth as possible
  • As soon as you notice any of the signs or symptoms listed above
  • Before and after a tongue tie release (ideally 3-4 days before and 1-2 days after)
Full payment is required upon booking, and cancellations must be made at least 4 hours in advance of appointment for full refund. If cancellations are made less than 4 hours before appointment time, 75% will be refunded. Services are not covered under extended benefits or insurance.
