Did you know this? 🤯

A newborn’s skull isn’t one solid piece.
It’s made up of multiple bones, connected by flexible sutures and the soft spots that we’re all super aware of when we’re holding a newborn. This allows the head to mold during birth and gives the brain room to grow rapidly in the first year of life.

It also means a baby’s system is *incredibly* adaptable.

When we use craniosacral therapy with infants, we’re not “forcing” anything or trying to change anatomy.
We’re working with a nervous system and skeletal system that are designed to respond gently to support.

That’s why babies often respond quickly:
• tension from birth can soften
• asymmetries can improve
• feeding and comfort can shift

This work is subtle, quiet, and respectful of both the baby and the new mom.
It’s about listening with trained hands and supporting what the baby’s body is already trying to do.

If your baby feels tense, uncomfortable, or just “not quite settled,” there may be a reason.

You DON’T have to wait it out.
and you don’t have to wonder if it’s “enough” to ask.

If you want support with this in the Portland, OR, area, we’re here.

UPDATED: As we close the chapter on 2025 and step into a new year, January invites us to keep hibernating and looking inward. The days are just beginning to stretch longer and lighter, and with that comes a renewed sense of self, clarity, and possibility. We’re continuing to move slowly, gather in community, and support one another during this tender season of early parenthood.

Why postpartum care isn’t a luxury (And What It Actually Is)

Postpartum care is often treated like an add-on instead of essential support. In this episode, we talk about what postpartum care really is, why it matters, and how it can change the way families heal and transition after birth. We also look at rest, nourishment, cultural expectations, and what it means to be held during one of the most intense seasons of life đź’›

If you’ve ever rocked a baby at 2 AM and wondered why it works, here’s the answer: your instincts are backed by neuroscience 👶✨

Rocking doesn’t just feel soothing. Research shows it actually synchronizes brain waves, supports deeper sleep, activates the vestibular system, and signals safety to the nervous system. Babies aren’t being spoiled when we rock them. They’re being regulated in the way their biology expects.

Rocking is not a bad habit. It’s a sensory tool. And it’s one humans have used across cultures for thousands of years.

Back to work after baby: Navigating Identity, Guilt, and the Myth of Balance

In this episode, I talk with Sarah Malin, a career coach who supports parents as they return to work after maternity leave. We unpack identity shifts, guilt, boundaries, and the tension of being both a parent and a professional in workplaces not designed for caregiving. Sarah coaches virtually across the U.S. and offers a complimentary 90 minute session through Livelihood Coaching 💻🌿
