Here’s a little more from this beautiful session — releasing tension through his neck.

This work can support babies with:

✨ Wind and trapped gas
✨ Reflux
✨ Sleep struggles
✨ Head-turning preferences
✨ General fussiness or discomfort

This is a slightly longer reel than I’d usually share — but it’s such a lovely example of how a baby can release during Cranio-Sacral Therapy 🤍

This session was a home visit, and this little one had been leaning to one side with lots of trapped wind and tension. As his body unwound, he became calmer, straighter, and so much more comfortable.

His lovely mum said:
“Kate was so calm, loving and patient. By the end, my baby was so much more relaxed and happy — she helped him release all his wind and tension.”

You can read her full review on Google — just search “This Kate Stuart” and it will come up at the top 🤍

From December, I’m offering a small number of Friday morning home visits for babies who settle best in their own environment. Link in my bio to book. 🌿

Every baby tells their own story — we just have to listen softly 🤍

Some babies just need a calm pair of hands — and a familiar space.

From December I’m opening up a limited number of Friday morning sessions, where I will offer home visits for young babies within the Hampton Wick, Teddington and Twickenham area.

If your little one struggles with car journeys or you’re still in that precious cocoon phase, I’ll come to you.

Gentle, baby-led craniosacral therapy can help ease:
💧 Reflux or colic
😴 Restlessness or unsettled sleep
🤱 Feeding or latch challenges
🌿 Recovery from birth or tongue-tie

Visits last around 45–60 minutes and are completely tailored to your baby’s pace.

📅 Fridays | Morning appointments only
📍 Hampton Wick / Teddington area
💛 Message me to check availability or ask what to expect from a home visit.

During a Cranio-Sacral Therapy session, clients will sometimes say,

“I can’t feel my arms or legs!”

What they were really feeling was their body finally letting go of the tension it had been holding for years.

When the nervous system begins to soften, sensations can change. Sometimes that feels like lightness, sometimes tingling, sometimes a deep stillness.

It’s not a loss — it’s a sign that the body is releasing, recalibrating, and finding safety again.

This is how the body speaks when it begins to heal. ✨

A beautiful transformation in just 3 sessions ✨

This little 6-month-old girl came to see me with plagiocephaly — a common condition where a baby’s head develops a flat spot or asymmetry.

It can happen when babies spend a lot of time resting on one part of their head, often due to tightness in the neck or shoulders (often linked to birth position or early tension in the body).

Through gentle Cranio-Sacral Therapy sessions, we helped to ease those areas of tightness and restore better balance through her neck, shoulders and cranium.

You can see how beautifully her head shape has rounded out — her whole system feels more relaxed, and she’s moving more freely too. 💛

🌿 Tips for supporting babies with plagiocephaly:
• Encourage regular tummy time to strengthen the neck, shoulders and back
• Offer varied positions for play, feeding and sleeping (supervised)
• Alternate which arm you hold or feed your baby on
• Give your baby plenty of floor time to explore and move freely
• If you notice any tightness, preference to turn one way, or flattening, gentle Cranio-Sacral Therapy can help release those restrictions early on

Every baby’s journey is different, but with early support their amazing ability to adapt and rebalance never fails to inspire me. 💫

Thank you to this lovely mum for sending these gorgeous photos and allowing me to share her baby’s progress. 🤍

Sometimes you can see the moment a baby releases built-up birth tension — a big sigh, a stretch, a softening through their whole little body. 💛

Cranio-Sacral Therapy helps babies unwind the strain from birth, supporting easier feeding, settling, and sleep.

I’m now offering home visits every other Friday morning for newborns and young babies in Hampton Wick, Teddington, Twickenham, Hampton, Hampton Hill, Strawberry Hill, Thames Ditton, and Hampton Court — so your baby can stay relaxed in their own familiar space.

✨ Spaces are limited for these Friday home visits — link in bio to book.

Sometimes a client realises… they don’t actually want to let go of their anxiety.

As the anxiety softens, other emotions often rise — grief, sadness, even old trauma. And while anxiety can feel uncomfortable, it’s also familiar. Facing what lies beneath can feel heavier than the anxiety itself.

This isn’t failure. It’s part of the healing journey. ✨

Cranio-sacral therapy creates a gentle, safe space for your nervous system to process what’s been buried — so you can move through the layers of emotion and begin to heal.❤️

This photo was taken 20 years ago when my daughter was only a few days old. Just me and my tiny girl, curled up together in that first haze of motherhood. I remember being so tired, so in awe, and so full of love I thought my heart might burst. 💖

Today, she turns 20 years old and somehow those long nights and endless feeds turned into years filled with laughter, learning, and growing alongside her. She has taught me more about love, resilience, and what really matters in life than I could ever have imagined back then.

Now, two decades later, I have the privilege of walking alongside other mums and their babies in those very first, tender days. I know how overwhelming and beautiful it can feel all at once — and I am always honoured to hold space for mothers as they find their way. ✨
