Mother & Baby Craniosacral Therapy
Nurturing calm, connection, and deep healing for you and your baby - during pregnancy too.
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most profound transitions—beautiful, challenging, and deeply emotional. My work in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) for mothers and babies is grounded in the understanding that early experiences deeply shape our sense of safety, connection, and wellbeing.
With a background as a Health Visitor and a nurse, as well as an MA in Infant Mental Health, I bring a unique depth of understanding to this delicate time. My experience has shown me how vital it is to support both mother and baby (and partners) —not only physically, but emotionally and energetically. Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive way to help you and your baby release tension, regulate the nervous system, and find greater ease in your bodies and in your relationship.
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Mothers?
BCST is a subtle hands-on therapy that listens to the body’s inherent health and rhythms. It is especially supportive for:
Babies experiencing birth trauma or feeding difficulties
Tension or asymmetry in the body (e.g. colic, reflux, unsettled behaviour)
Mothers recovering from a challenging birth or adjusting emotionally and physically
Strengthening the early bonding and attachment process
Or just a general reset
During a session, both you and your baby are supported together. I work respectfully and gently with your baby’s cues, always prioritising comfort and safety. Parents often describe the sessions as calming, deeply validating, and restorative.
How My Background Supports You IN ADDITION TO BCST.
My clinical experience as a Health Visitor means I have worked closely with families during the critical early years, supporting infant development, maternal mental health, and family wellbeing. Studying Infant Health also allows me to bring a psychologically informed approach to therapy—understanding the nuances of early relational patterns, emotional regulation, and the importance of feeling seen and held during these transformative moments.
This combined expertise ensures you are held in a space that is both deeply attuned and clinically informed.
If you’re navigating pregnancy, early parenthood and feel your baby—or you—could benefit from gentle, nurturing support, I’d love to welcome you.
TESTIMONIALS
“We started working with Kate when my son was just a few weeks old. He was a very tense and unsettled baby, also enduring a difficult birth that left him with quite a bit of bruising. I was a first time mom riddled with anxiety, doubt and confusion. After just a few sessions I started noticing such a change in my baby and myself. I went into the whole process so hopeful for my son, that I had no idea the transformation I would have as well. Kate started to become like family, my son would be happy to see her and I immediately felt lighter and assured in her presence. She took the time to create connection and relationship, to make us feel comfortable and well looked after. A very vulnerable and scary time in my life was transformed into a safe, secure and gratifying experience. The knowledge, wisdom and support was endless. I learned so much from her, I’ll continue to carry with me through the rest of my motherhood journey. My son is now very much settled, healthy and absolutely thriving! Forever grateful to Kate and our incredible healing journey!”

I met weekly in the third trimester with Kate for craniosacral therapy and after birth with my daughter Indigo. I had never heard of cranio but when the benefits of creating stillness, relaxation and release in pregnancy were explained to me - it sounded like just what I needed!
Each week I would look forward to a sacred, still time with Kate where she held space for my body and emotions. It is difficult to put into words the profound relaxation I felt in Kate's room and through her touch (so much so I nearly always went into the deepest sleep!). The adjustments that she made in my body meant I always left her room feeling replenished, more in balance and ultimately more open to the week ahead. Her treatment is the perfect antidote to the 'busyness' of body and mind in the weeks before birth. While Kate's work certainly helped me overcome some specific pain and discomforts particularly in my back, I would say that the greatest benefit she afforded me is she helped me tune into my body and respect it's intelligence as well as that of my mind - which I conceptually understood but had never felt before. This is a connection that served to help me achieve the birth I dreamt of as I was able to practice silencing my mind and better listening to my body long before the labour experience.
After birth Kate also visited our home to give me and Indigo cranio therapy. I loved the times when we welcomed her calm yet powerful energy to our space. Just as she had done with me alone - when she performed cranio with my daughter lying on me she afforded us both a shifting sense of stillness, connecting our rhythms it as we breathed and slept together in like a magic trance! It was so beautiful. Kate helped me work through some physical tensions from birth and breast-feeding, and reconnect with my legs after an epidural. Indigo was always more settled after her visits with better nights as Kate worked on releasing tensions from her body from birth.
Last but not least, Kate is the most gentle caring woman who is also deeply expert in mums and babies from her previous life and mum of 3 girls. It would be remiss not to mention how beneficial I found the conversations with her about my pregnancy, birth and baby and her deep and personal support for me throughout the journey.

After experiencing a traumatic birth, both my baby and I were overwhelmed—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My nervous system felt constantly on edge.
From our very first craniosacral therapy session, I felt an incredible shift. Kate’s gentle, intuitive approach helped bring a deep sense of calm and safety to both me and my baby. Our sessions supported not only physical recovery but also emotional healing. We both began to feel more regulated and connected. Kate’s work was a turning point in our postpartum journey. I am deeply grateful for her presence, skill, and the compassionate care she provided during such a vulnerable time.

Kate came to treat my baby and me in the very early days after the birth. She was so warm, gentle and reassuring and really helped soothe both of us. She’s very knowledgable about what could be going on with the baby, and also very much guided by her intuition. When I think about her visits in that special time, she feels like a warm hug - so nourishing!
