WHAT TO EXPECT
For Infants / Children / Adolescents
At your child’s first session, I will spend a significant amount of time speaking with you about your child’s life, including health history and daily rhythms. For young children, it is always possible to be held by a caregiver, receive nourishment through food or nursing, or move around the room with toys. Your child, regardless of age, is not expected (or encouraged) to be still as I adapt the treatment to their needs in the moment.
Release of emotions or change in behavior can be a natural part of the process indicating a change for your child or adolescent. Treatments are very gentle; seldom does the pressure used exceed five grams (the weight of a nickel). Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapy treatments are given while a child is fully clothed and comfortable within the environment with their caregiver in close proximity.
After a treatment, some children, especially babies, may feel the need to sleep. Regardless the age of your child or adolescent,it is recommended for you both to allow time to integrate the work before the next activity of your day. This may look like going for a walk together, being at home for quiet time, etc.
If you have further questions / concerns about how to make your child’s visit most comfortable, I am always happy to speak with you via phone and email.
For Adults
At your first appointment, I invite you to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to our session to give yourself an opportunity to slow down and create space for comfort and relaxation in the therapeutic environment. I will begin by speaking with you about your present health conditions including any history of accidents, illnesses, pregnancy, etc.
During the session, clients may choose between receiving Cranio-Sacral or Biodynamic Massage, a blend of CST with therapeutic massage. You may remain fully clothed for CST treatments or be sufficiently draped for massage therapy. Your comfort is very important to the treatment process, and I invite you to make specific requests so that I may be fully supportive to your well-being. Please reach out to me with any questions / considerations you may have.
