Infant Cranial Sacral Therapy
Infant Cranial Sacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release tension in a baby’s body—supporting digestion, sleep, nervous system regulation, airway, and overall comfort, especially after birth. Cranial sacral therapy is often combined with myofascial stretches and focused connective tissue work to help the body unwind more fully and allow the CST to be even more effective.
Infant Cranial Sacral Therapy at Studio 400 in West Portland, Oregon.
Hi, I’m Mandee. I began using Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) on my own babies to improve sleep, support their airway health, create more comfort in their little bodies and ease general tension between sessions with local providers. My teacher, Lori Hendrickson, encouraged me to continue practicing on other babies as I worked on my second child throughout infancy, and she is my inspiration behind this work!
Come see me for Infant Craniosacral Therapy on Portland’s Westside, near Beaverton, at my Pilates studio, Studio 400. I offer paid appointments as well as community sliding scale appointments to keep it accessible.
CST supports the nervous system by releasing restrictions in the cranial bones and fascia. It can help with colic, support feeding and sleep, and ease tension.
What makes my approach unique is that I also teach you, the parent, how to use these calming techniques at home—empowering you to support your baby’s comfort, build confidence, and strengthen your connection to support healthy development in those early months. If you’d like, I’ll show you some simple CST techniques during your babies session that you can do at home to support your baby between sessions—creating deeper results, more connection, and confidence in caring for your little one.
Let’s get your baby feeling their best.
