Cranial Sacral for Babies:

Babies can have much to share with us about what it was like for them to make their epic journey into life. Cranial Sacral healing supports integration through deep listening, empathy and very gentle touch, allowing baby to tell her story and release what is held in her system.

This healing work helps if your baby is:

Fussy or colicky
Having digestive issues
Crying a lot or crying inconsolably (this is trauma crying)
Having feeding or sleeping issues
Unable to settle
Uncomfortable in his/her body
Suffering from stress or trauma
Grieving a loss (prenatal bereavement, separation after birth, twin loss, etc.)
Unable to relax and rest deeply
Disconnected (not attaching fully, not present in their eyes/body)
Challenged by a stressful womb or birth experience (cesarean section, induction, other medical interventions, long or short labor, etc.)

When infants get help early they are supported to reach their full potential and are able to meet life feeling integrated and embodied, with a fully functional nervous system.

Home visits are available for newborns in the Santa Rosa and Sebastopol areas or if mom is incapacitated and unable to come to my office. Call me to discuss this option.

If you are unable to pay for a session within my sliding scale Sweet Pea once-monthly by-donation/free Cranial Sacral clinic is in Santa Rosa, CA. Go to my forms page and fill out the appointment sign-up sheet (which includes the clinic dates) and the child intake form.

There are also monthly free baby clinics alternately in Oakland and San Francisco. Contact Holly Edson craniosacralnurse@gmail.com for information and appointments.

Cranial Sacral for Children:

Helps children with:

Unwinding tension, stress and anxiety
Connecting their body-system to its inherent health
Slowing down
Sleep issues
An unsettled nervous system (unable to be calm and/or rest deeply)
Unresolved issues held in his/her body-system
Hyperactivity – (A revved or anxious nervous system can keep them continually active and unable to let down. This can sometimes be caused by Pitocin, and by womb and birth imprints)
Feeling ungrounded and off-center (banging into objects, not finding their feet, scattered energy)
Aches and pains
Difficult or stressful womb or birth experiences – (If there has been high stress or trauma during this period go to the Womb & Birth Play for Children page)

Depending on the age of the child and their ability to lay on the massage table for treatment, I may combine the Cranial Sacral healing session with play. Play is the natural organic language of children. After a few sessions, more active and wiggly children may be calm enough to lie on the table for longer periods of time.

Cranial Sacral for Adults:

Helps with:

Deep relaxation
Aches and pains
Unwinding tension, anxiety and stress
Imprints held in the body that cause discomfort or pain
Bringing your nervous system to a calm regulated state (shifting away from anxiety and mind loops, etc.)
Unresolved issues held in the body-system
Hyperactivity
Feeling ungrounded and off-center
Connecting your body-system to its inherent health
Self-care and maintenance

A Baby's Story:
For the first two months of our son's life all he did was nurse, sleep, and scream. Our journey to conceiving, pregnancy, and the birth were all very stressful, and our son was clearly affected by all of the stress and trauma. We tried everything! I watched other mom’s with their babies calm in their arms, and felt so terrible that our son was suffering, and not at peace. It was affecting my health, my relationship with my husband, and my ability to bond with my son; he never had a quiet alert moment and was distressed around the clock. Our midwife referred us to Karen, and everything changed! Karen was able to tune in to aspects of pre-conception, pregnancy, and birth that had affected our son, and support him to process, express, and release his emotions. Her gentle bodywork helped unwind the tension in his body. It was difficult to witness his emotions and feel unable to comfort him, and it was exactly what he needed. He expressed all of his fear, anger, and grief, just like adults need to express things that they experience. Our baby literally transformed overnight after the first appointment; and for the next week did not cry at all! We continued so that he could express, and release, other experiences and emotions, and to this day have a happy and delightful baby! We could not be more grateful for Karen’s work; the safe and loving space she provides for healing, her expertise at sensing what a baby needs to release, and her facilitation of the process.

Description

Cranial Sacral is very gentle, non-invasive, fully clothed, hands-on healing that focuses on your central nervous system, energy and fluid bodies to enhance the health in your system. During a session I may combine Cranial-Sacral healing with my understanding and experience of womb and birth imprinting (Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology), Energy Healing and Developmental Attachment to enhance your, and your family’s, healing experience.

Please call me if you have questions or for a free telephone consult about working with me.

Thank you again and again for all of your support during our precious prenatal time. You helped us create a safe and cozy nest for our little one, and for all of us. Our work with you set the stage for our baby to thrive. She is so content and joyful! Our 12 year old daughter also benefited from your parenting support, as we transitioned into our new family, and moved towards our birth.
