What is Paediatric Tuina?

At Stillpoint Osteopaths, we’re lucky to offer Paediatric Tuina massage with our fully qualified practitioner Jay Xi.

Paediatric Tuina is a gentle, oil-free massage using light, rhythmic movements on specific points of the hands, arms, legs, tummy and back. Sessions are short and child-led (5–20 minutes).

It may help support:
• sleep regulation
• digestion
• immune & respiratory health
• overall development

Curious if Paediatric Tuina could help your child?

Call Stillpoint Osteopaths to find out more.

Does your baby breastfeed better on one side than the other?

Many babies develop a preference for one breast, and there can be several reasons why.
Sometimes it’s because turning their head fully to one side feels uncomfortable, or there may be tension through the neck, chest, or ribs that makes lying on one side harder.

You might notice:
• Fussiness or squirming on one side
• Pulling on and off the breast
• Ni**le discomfort or damage on one side only
• Less milk production on the less-preferred side

These preferences can sometimes be linked to tension or strain in your baby’s body (and occasionally yours too) following birth.

If feeding feels stressful, or your baby isn’t gaining weight as expected, a gentle osteopathic assessment may help identify areas of tension and support more comfortable feeding for both of you.

Call Stillpoint Osteopaths today for an assessment today.

What does Mindful Healthcare mean to you?

‘Mindful Healthcare’ is Stillpoint Osteopaths brand statement and guiding principle.

For many of our patients, it means being seen and held as a whole person from the very beginning of their care. Body, mind, and Inner Wellbeing.
For their practitioners to be genuinely present and non-judgmental in their approach to their care. Openness, patience, and acceptance.
That we listen to their entire story and to know that we carry that full picture with us, with compassion.
That it dictates our hands on approach and the therapeutic space we create for them.

Many patients tell us they notice a sense of ease that extends beyond the area of concern a settling of the nervous system, more space in the body, and a deeper feeling of regulation and balance.

If you’ve had a positive experience with Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, how would you describe it?

We’d love to hear your experience.

How do I know if my baby’s head can turn comfortably both ways?

Babies may have a head turning preference and it’s more common than many parents realise. A few signs to look for include:

• During tummy time, your baby tends to turn their head more to one side
• When sleeping on their back, their head usually rests facing the same direction
• Feeding feels easier on one breast compared to the other

Why does this matter?

Comfortable head and neck movement supports feeding, head shape, positioning, and your baby’s overall ease.

If you’ve noticed any of these patterns, a trained paediatric osteopath can gently assess your baby and support healthy movement early on.

If you’re unsure — it’s always okay to have it checked

Olivia has a genuine love of learning and a deep curiosity for the nuances of osteopathy. She continually invests in expanding her skills, particularly in women’s health and paediatric care, seeking out advanced training each year with some of the most respected cranial osteopaths across Australia and New Zealand. This commitment allows her to refine her palpatory skills and bring ever greater depth and precision to her treatments.

During her time at Stillpoint, Olivia has grown enormously not just as a clinician, but as a compassionate and thoughtful practitioner. She has become a true asset to our clinic and to the community of patients she supports.

What truly shapes Olivia’s approach to care is her own health journey. Her studies in psychology, combined with her personal research into endometriosis related pain, have given her a deeper understanding of the physical and emotional layers of healing. This insight informs how she listens, assesses, and tailors care making a meaningful difference for those she works with.

As her mentor, I am incredibly proud of the practitioner Olivia has become and will continue to support her as she supports you on your health care journey.

Becoming a new parent involves a period of connection and learning how your baby communicates.

Crying, body movements such as arching, or pulling on and off the breast are all forms of communication. Your baby may be hungry, overtired, uncomfortable, or in pain. They don’t have words, but through close connection you begin to understand what their signals are telling you.

Learning to read these cues helps you recognise whether something is simply a phase of development, or whether it’s something that needs checking and support.

If you’re unsure, you don’t have to work it out alone. At Stillpoint Osteopaths, we take your observations and concerns seriously. Our trusted practitioners will carefully assess your baby, offer treatment when appropriate, or help guide you in the right direction.

Sometimes, as a parent, you just know something isn’t quite right with your baby or child. Maybe they’re struggling with feeding, holding their head to one side, have a head shape that worries you, or haven’t reached their milestones in the way you expected.
These are the moments when our experienced and compassionate osteopathic practitioners at Stillpoint Osteopaths can help. We provide gentle, expert care to support your child’s growth, development, and wellbeing.
