Tune in to PART 2 of Meaghan’s conversation with Kristy Wilson! They dive deeper into the benefits of craniosacral therapy (CST) for newborns, as well as the role of CST in supporting mental health. Kristy shares her experiences helping babies with various issues, such as a baby who exhibited back arching, poor tongue function, and oral aversions after a traumatic birth. Through CST sessions, the baby's tightness and discomfort gradually improved, leading to significant changes in their overall well-being. She also emphasizes the importance of touch and bonding between parents and babies. Through CST sessions, parents have the opportunity to observe and learn how to touch their baby in ways that promote relaxation. From newborn development to postpartum care, tune in and learn the many ways craniosacral therapy can positively impact the lives of babies and their families!
