Infant Craniosacral Therapy in Portland

Gentle, whole-body support for babies as they grow, move, feed, and settle into life outside the womb.

Kate provides infant craniosacral therapy in central NE Portland for families who notice tension, feeding discomfort, movement preferences, or challenges as their baby reaches new developmental milestones.

Support for your baby’s growing body

Birth, early growth, and the work of learning to feed and move can be a lot for a baby’s body. Craniosacral therapy uses gentle, supportive touch to explore areas of tension and help your baby feel more comfortable and at ease.

Families often seek infant bodywork when they notice:

  • A strong preference for looking or turning to one side

  • Tension in the jaw, neck, shoulders, or body

  • Difficulty getting comfortable during feeding

  • Fussiness, difficulty settling, or discomfort with touch

  • Challenges with tummy time, head turning, or free movement

  • Questions about oral tension, tongue ties, or feeding coordination

  • A desire for support as their baby grows and reaches new movement milestones

Sessions are gentle, baby-led, and adapted to your child’s comfort. Your baby may be held, fed, cuddled, or take a break at any time.

We begin by talking about your pregnancy, birth, feeding experience, and what you have been noticing. Kate then uses light-touch craniosacral techniques to support your baby’s comfort, movement, and nervous-system regulation. You will leave with observations, simple ideas for home, and referrals when another provider may be helpful.
