What I offer

When CST can help

Craniosacral therapy (baby bodywork) can be helpful for a baby who seems uncomfortable in their body, has colic, torticollis, or an uneven head shape. It can also support digestion for babies with reflux, frequent spitting up, or bowel movements that are few and far between.

CST can also help when feeding is hard. Your baby may have trouble getting a deep latch, favor one breast over the other, or hold tension in their jaw. Babies who've recently had a frenotomy often benefit as well.

What to expect

At our first visit, I'll want to hear the story of your pregnancy and birth, and what you've noticed about your baby so far. Then I'll spend a little time just watching how your baby holds and uses their body.

My touch is very light. I'm feeling for areas where your baby is holding tension, and I work gently to help those areas release.

If you're nursing, watching a feed can tell me a lot. And if your baby wants to eat during the session, that's just fine. I can keep working while they nurse.

Some babies settle right in and drift off. Others let me know they've had enough, and I honor that. I listen closely and only do what the baby is welcoming.

Craniosacral Therapy is:

A Reiki or Craniosacral Therapy Session

Sessions at Hummingbird House are calm, cozy, and unhurried. The room is candlelit, and optional essential oils are available if that feels supportive to you.

When you arrive, we'll settle in together. For first sessions we'll spend a little more time connecting — talking about your hopes for our work, your history, and anything you'd like me to know. In ongoing sessions, we'll check in about how you and your body have been since we last met. We can talk as much or as little as feels right. There is no agenda here, only presence.

When you're ready, I'll invite you to lie down fully clothed on the table. I offer a heated table, bolsters, pillows, blankets, hot packs, and an eye cover — whatever helps you feel most comfortable.

Once you're settled, you can simply rest. Most people find themselves drifting into a restful place between waking and sleep — and if you drift off completely, that is more than welcome. This work happens at a body and nervous system level.

After our session, if you would like, we'll take a few minutes to reconnect and talk about what came up.

Reiki is:

• gentle and non-invasive
• offered fully clothed
• not tied to a diagnosis or condition
• a complement to your existing health care and healing practices

Rather than treating a specific symptom, Reiki works with your whole system — creating the conditions for rest, regulation, and repair. Reiki is not a religion. It is a gentle healing practice that can support anyone.

How Reiki Can Help

Reiki supports your whole being and is especially helpful for:

• Stress and overwhelm
• Physical tension or discomfort
• Sleep difficulties
• Emotional balance
• Fatigue or burnout
• Life transitions
• Grief and loss
• Overall well-being

This may be for you if…

• You are longing for a calming space to rest.
• You feel overwhelmed or depleted.
• You are moving through grief or a life transition.
• You care for others and rarely have time for yourself.
• Your body holds tension or has trouble sleeping.
• You are seeking clarity, balance, or reconnection.
• You want time where nothing is required of you.

A Session

Sessions are offered in the cozy space at Hummingbird House, or online from wherever you are.

When you arrive, tea or coffee is waiting. We'll settle in together and I'll light a candle to mark the beginning of our time — a small ritual of intention, a signal that this time is set apart.

From there, the session is yours. There is no agenda to follow, nothing to prepare, and nothing to perform. I will listen deeply — to what you're saying, to what's stirring beneath the words, to what your body and soul may be trying to tell you. Whatever comes up is welcome here. Through gentle questions and unhurried silence, we'll follow what feels most alive in what you're bringing.

This is a practice of deep listening — to yourself, and to whatever you sense is moving in and through your life.

Sessions are typically one hour and offered once or twice a month — whatever feels most supportive to you.
