In 2020 Jennifer also starting seeing adult clients who were experiencing chronic aches, pains, depressions, anxieties, PTSD and more. Jen combines her CranioSacral Therapy skills and special training in Dynamic Body Balancing to release restrictions in the whole body system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system and autonomic nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more.

Infant & Newborn CST
Offering House Calls in the immediate postpartum, as well as In Office Newborn and Infant CST and Myofascial Release.
We most often treat babies post their challenging or intense birth stories, like long labors with long pushing phases, fast, quick births from start to finish, misalignment at birth - such as a “sunny side up” baby (occiput posterior presentation) or other presentations like breech & more, as well as babies post surgical birth. These babies tend to display to their parents varying communications that they need hands on therapy, such as seeming uncomfortable- not wanting to lay on their back, or clearly not liking being handled, refusal to breastfeed, inability to latch without on/off repetitions, other breastfeeding trouble like wounded nipples, breast preference, gagging and choking while feeding, sleep troubles, “colic”, lack of consistent stools, obvious misalignment of the physical body - often resulting in flat heads, torticolis, plageocephaly etc., and more.

Prenatal CST
Growing a baby is a huge experience, both mentally and physically. Your body changes its entire formation to adapt to your baby, and it even grows and entire organ alongside this person! CST & MFR during pregnancy can help assist the freedom of movement and adaptation to the process of childbearing and childbirth. It is a big experience when you are a first time mother, and the body shifts back and forth each time you have a subsequent pregnancy! Amazing. But you can feel it, can’t you?
We recommend Prenatal CST to all women who are preparing their bodies for birth at any time, and especially to assist things like: sciatica, sleep troubles, high stress pregnancies, high risk pregnancies, women pregnant after previous birth trauma & well as women post traumatic birth, breech presentation of baby or other positional concerns, women preparing for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), women who have experienced sexual assault and are preparing for birth, teeth grinding, and for any aches and pains.
