Craniosacral Therapy for School-Age Kids in Portland
Gentle, child-led bodywork for kids who carry a lot in their bodies.
Gentle, fully clothed bodywork for kids who carry a lot in their bodies.
School-age children are growing fast and navigating busy days, big feelings, learning, friendships, sports, screens, and new expectations. Sometimes that can show up as body tension, headaches, restless sleep, overwhelm, or difficulty settling.
Kate offers gentle craniosacral therapy in Portland for children—especially ages 5–12—who could use a calm, supportive space to rest and reconnect with their bodies.
Is this a fit for my child?
Parents often bring their child in when they notice:
Body tensionFrequent tension in the jaw, neck, shoulders, or body
Big transitionsA child who seems easily overwhelmed by busy days or big transitions
HeadachesHeadaches or discomfort after school, sports, or screen time
Sensory needsSensory sensitivity or a need for extra support with body awareness
Trouble winding downDifficulty winding down, resting, or sleeping comfortably
Stress/OverwhelmStress around school, friendships, family changes, or new routines
Craniosacral therapy is not about changing who your child is. It offers quiet, gentle support for their body to settle and for them to feel more at ease.
What does a session cost?
School-age craniosacral therapy sessions cost:
$180 for the initial 60 minute visit
$65 for 30 minute follow up visits
How often will my child need to come in?
Every child and family is different. Some families book a single session for support during a particular transition, while others choose to return periodically for ongoing care.
After your child’s first session, we can talk about what you noticed, your goals, and whether another visit would feel useful.
A gentle complement to your child’s care team
Craniosacral therapy can be a supportive addition alongside pediatric, mental-health, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and other care. If Kate believes another provider would be helpful, she will let you know and help you think through next steps.
A calm space for growing kids
Appointments take place in Kate’s central NE Portland office. If you are unsure whether craniosacral therapy is right for your child, begin with a free 15-minute phone consultation.
