Feeding a baby is a skilful and often challenging experience for new mothers, who commonly face difficulties such as sleep deprivation, sore nipples, bottle or breast rejection, and stress from late-night feedings.
Inadequate weight gain in infants can arise from various issues. Breastfeeding babies may struggle with latch problems, insufficient milk supply, or ineffective sucking, leading to inadequate calorie intake.
Bottle-fed infants might face weight gain challenges due to incorrect formula preparation or feeding techniques. Additionally, colic, reflux, and other digestive issues can hinder weight gain due to discomfort or feeding aversions.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) provides significant benefits for both mothers and babies. Many mothers report a renewed sense of rhythm, ease, and confidence after just a few sessions.
BCST, combined with simple breathing techniques, enhances relaxation, reduces stress, and supports central nervous system regulation, leading to improved sleep patterns and overall comfort. \
It also enhances oral function and latch, alleviating issues such as wind, reflux, colic, and hiccups, and increasing comfort during feeding. By relieving tension in the baby’s facial muscles, BCST positively affects the vagus nerve’s signalling to the intestines, improving digestion and reducing gas.
These improvements lead to a more effective and comfortable breastfeeding experience, help mitigate common issues, and foster a more harmonious family life and fulfilling breastfeeding journey.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a transformative whole-body approach using light touch to foster a safe, grounded connection. It shifts the body from fight-or-flight to relaxation, releasing restrictions and revitalizing the nervous system and organs. This therapy supports trauma release and promotes overall well-being, honouring the body's intelligence to make necessary adjustments for optimal health.

Heartwarming Experiences from Local Parent
“Our baby was getting agitated when feeding, being fussy with burping, and being unsettled with spurts of hysterical crying. With three sessions, she has helped both her and me. Her feeding is now really good, and we now have a relaxed, well-fed little Bub. Thank you so much, Sandra. I highly recommend her. Truly the baby whisperer. Darcie
"My daughter experienced severe reflux and developed a feeding aversion at the age of six weeks. For the past six months, I have been able to feed her twice a night using formula, thanks to medical help. She has always had a stressed, anxious appearance. I was under a lot of pressure to keep her hydrated and help her gain weight, and every time she refused to drink, I felt like a failure. She had trouble with floor time and was slow to exhibit her gross motor skills.
Following my first session with Sandra, I noticed right away that I was feeling less anxious and more at ease. After my daughter’s session, she slept well and was more content. Feeding her at night was simpler, and she was more at ease. When placed on the floor, she began to move much more, demonstrating improvement in her gross motor skills.
I am so grateful for meeting Sandra and the work she has done for both of us, and I know the benefits will continue into the future.” Bec (a grateful mum)
"Our midwife suggested this therapy to us because our one-week-old son was getting progressively fussier during feedings, had some latching issues, and was becoming difficult to settle.". Feeding was painful and was causing a lot of extra tension in my body. We were both frustrated, which caused extra emotional stress and feelings of helplessness.
Sandra was able to help me drop back into my body and settle my nervous system, which made settling my son easier. She was also able to relieve a lot of tension in my shoulders and jaw. We had a feeding session during the treatment, and with the touch that she used, my son was able to latch easily almost immediately.
Over the next few days and after the next session, we noticed his bowel movements improving and that he was overall a lot more relaxed. Sandra explained to us that the number of sessions required does depend on the individual. For us, it only took the first session to convince us of the benefits!
Feeding has become enjoyable and a special bonding time between us, something I had hoped for from the beginning. I was so relieved that there was something so gentle to help us on our journey. With the bonus of Sandra being a beautiful therapist who was able to hold space for us in the very early and vulnerable days of parenthood! Our experience was great, and we are so grateful. Thank you, Sandra!! ' Savannah
