Craniosacral Therapy
What is craniosacral therapy?
CST works with the fascial tissue within the body. Fascia is the transparent connective tissue over all the muscles, bones and joints. When there’s a torsion (whether caused by birth, injury, or some other reason), it can affect different areas and systems by throwing off the balance and preventing the natural rhythm of the cerebral spinal fluid throughout your body. Craniosacral therapy works to support your body’s journey to it’s natural homeostasis state across all systems of the body.
CST sessions help release, unwind and balance different areas of your body.
CST during pregnancy can help get you more comfortable, create space for baby in the body to find the best position, and a smoother labor and delivery.
CST with infants addresses tension patterns caused by birth trauma, colic, torticollis, oral restrictions/ties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your CST experience?
In September 2021 I completed Dr. Carol's 5 level Dynamic Body Balancing program. I had been incorporating cst for lactation though for a year before that and Spinning Babies since 2017.
What is craniosacral therapy?
Memory is stored in the facia. Due to this, there’s a unique connection between heart and body, especially as it concerns birth and various trauma experiences. CST touches both areas as it’s hard to “fix one and not the other” since for many, it goes hand in hand.
What clients do you accept?
Currently booking for infants and pregnant clients.
How long is a session?
Booking is for 1 hour which includes time for intake discussion, updates, diaper changes, nursing/feeding time and actual therapy. It’s not abnormal for infants to have quicker releases and only 20-30 minutes of therapy time before they are done. We follow their lead for the session and the remainder of the appointment is spent discussing needs to further support infants and their families.
How many sessions will my baby need?
This is a great question and one I get often! Honestly, one size does not fit all so it 100% depends on your baby and what symptoms they are facing and how they respond to the suggested "homework items" and if you're layering it up with other things such as chiropractic care, physical therapy etc. There's no pressure or expectation... schedule as you need!
What is your mask policy?
I wear masks to appointments but I do NOT require clients to mask. However, if you're sick, please let me know so that we can discuss options for your visit/reschedule.
How can I pay?
Birth Twin Cities accepts cash, check, card, HSA/FSA, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App.
