Birth and Trauma
How we are born can set a pattern for our lives. Unresolved difficulties from development in the womb, from birth and infancy can be the root cause of physical and emotional problems in later life. Medical interventions during pregnancy and birth are some time essential to save lives, for mother and baby, but may also contribute to physical and emotional distress for both. Fortunately babies are very robust and are ‘designed’ to self regulate and heal. They just need a little help at times. However, if you feel at all concerned about your baby’s health you should always seek medical help from your doctor. Craniosacral Therapy should complement any other treatments you choose for your child not replace them.
Children and Treatment
We all can struggle with stress, children included. Starting and coping with school, moving school, handling exams, dealing with family dynamics are all potentially difficult and stressful.
Children can get overwhelmed and start to lose the capacity to cope, to self regulate. The calm relaxing effect of a treatment can be really beneficial for children.
