Product Description

This unique first book shows, through pictures and step-by-step instructions, how to give a baby or small child a full craniosacral treatment. The authors approach babies as conscious beings who endure enormous stress during the birth process. They show how CS therapy can help restore the correct alignments in babies' bodies, freeing them to grow and attain their maximum potential without hindrance. The book focuses on what a trained CS therapist can do to remove the blockages that often arise during birth. It addresses both hands-on techniques and awareness of how to interact with a baby and what responses and effects to expect. Based on the authors’ extensive experience, this guide can also be used by parents or caregivers interested in knowing what babies need in order to be whole and healthy, and how to prevent problems — including hyperactivity and ADD — that could become serious and require medication later in life.

Customer Reviews

Not really helpful
Pictures and words do not really clarify the steps of the treatment he gives the baby client. It doesn't really help to go deeper in treating craniosacrally babies and children.

Add this book to your library!
This book is beautiful! The text, the pictures, the authors have captured the very essence of a craniosacral session. Their thoughts, intentions and flow of a session are easily followed but at the same time you feel as if you are watching such a private moment. Not very technical, assumes you already have that background and if you do you are completely in the moment with them. If you don't have a long background with CST, you'll still LOVE this book. It speaks to your mind, heart and soul about craniosacral therapy as it unfolds. Felt honored to read and now own this book.
