WHO WE TREAT

BABIES

I treat unsettled babies, new-born and toddlers for various reasons to help settle and make them more comfortable to be able to feed and sleep and digest their food more comfortably. I use very gentle techniques to help unwind any tensions in a baby’s body from positions they may find themselves within the womb and help them to relax from their delivery and life thereafter outside of the womb.

With a gentle, hands on approach we can assess your baby with feeding difficulties, if they are unsettled / unhappy babies or have having sleep disturbances

common issues treated
