The FIRST Year of Being an Infant Craniosacral Therapist with Melanie Alcobendas


Listen Later

Change can be scary - especially when it comes to making a career change and trying something totally different. This is exactly what Melanie Alcobendas did, and I’m excited to have her talk more about this on the podcast today!


In this episode, Melanie is sharing more about her journey working as a registered massage therapist for 20 years, to becoming an infant craniosacral therapist. Melanie admits that she originally didn’t even know about infant craniosacral therapy, let alone understand why babies would even need this kind of treatment. We talk more about the amazing benefits of being an infant craniosacral therapist, as well as challenges and growing pains that come along with it (especially when you’re first starting out). 


Since working as an infant craniosacral therapist for 1 year now, Melanie gets to see firsthand the powerful results that craniosacral therapy can provide for babies and their families. This type of work is very root cause focused, and she loves providing special care that will give babies a fresh start from the beginning. Melanie and I are both passionate about this incredible, life-changing work that is continuing to make a positive impact in the world!
