Pediatrics: Treating Newborns to Teenagers

Stresses of today’s modern world can tend to create a child living in a heightened stress, which can cause the body to excrete excessive Cortisol and disrupt their sleep patterns. Lack of sleep adds to their inability to calm, focus and be present, and can cause a vicious cycle. This overwhelm on the body can lead to high levels of anxiety, preventing them from functioning at a level they find acceptable.

Linda’s soft touch and techniques gently down regulate the nervous system, calm the body and restore balance. Helping kids feel more comfortable and safe in their bodies is a great passion of hers.

Children tend to feel calmer, can focus easier, and are better able to deal with stressful transitions. Restoring equilibrium in the body also helps make children less accident-prone or clumsy, because they are not “off-balance” anymore.

Parents of Linda’s patients often notice that their children are more relaxed, can focus better in school, and have an easier time with transitions after craniosacral therapy sessions with Linda.

Many are astounded to see their hyperactive or tense child relax or even fall asleep during the session.

Since a child is still developing, the central nervous system is especially receptive to craniosacral therapy.

Many parents see benefits from a single session -- from greater focus and calmness to better sensory integration. Additional sessions strengthen and integrate these outcomes, producing long lasting results.

Infants

Newborn babies can face a number of stressful challenges on their journey into this world. Craniosacral therapy is so gentle, it can be used right from birth.

Linda's sessions are ideal for babies having trouble:

• Breastfeeding

• Tongue tie

• Sleeping problems

• Colic

• Digestive issues

• Torticollis

• Babies that don't being on their tummies

• Sessions during times of motor development milestones are also ideal as it assists them in integrating new movement patterns.

Linda’s light touch facilitates the unwinding of areas of compression and misalignment in your baby, encouraging the release of stress and associated emotions. There is no stretching or pressure -- the movement is from deep within with the baby doing the releasing at subtle, yet profound levels.

Children and Adolescents

Linda is known for her special connection with the children she works with. Gentle and non-invasive, craniosacral therapy is effective in ways children can intuitively recognize.

She believes in the importance of developing trust, and empowering children to become cooperative participants in their healing process by teaching them tools to calm themselves, relieve pain and feel safe. Linda also incorporates elements of sensory integration, guided imagery, and imaginative play, and storytelling to help calm and focus children during sessions.

An important part of her work is helping  children  with sensory processing disorders feel organized and calm in their bodies.

She also works with many children to help  ease transitions through developmental stages in life (kindergarten to 1st grade, 9 and 12 year change, adolescence, etc.). Her work helps support and nourish children through these critical stages.

Teens

Growing up can be hard. So many changes emotionally, physically and socially. Linda works with adolescents & teens for all sorts of emotional, behavioral and physical problems that can create undue stress and anxiety on their systems, lowering their immune function, increasing anxiety and affecting school performance and participation in life.

The somatic therapies Linda offers can help compensate for some of these problems. She has many teens that she sees several times a year for “tuneups” to helps ease the stress and demands school can bring to their systems, allowing them to tackle their workloads without being overwhelmed. It shouldn’t be stressful to be a teenager - Linda can help bring ease to these challenging years.
