Did you know that the way a baby enters the world can influence the tension we see in their little bodies?

Babies born via traveling through the birth canal may have different opportunities for movement and pressure than babies born via c-section. Because of this, some babies may present with areas of tension or restrictions that are worth paying attention to.

This does NOT mean every C-section baby will have tension, or that vaginally born babies won't. Every birth and every baby is different!

What matters most is recognizing when a baby may be uncomfortable, having difficulty with movement, struggling with feeding, or showing signs of tension throughout their body.

As a baby bodyworker, my goal isn't to label a birth as good or bad. It's to look at the whole baby, understand their individual needs, and help support comfortable movement and function.

And remember, a C-section is not a failure, and no birth story needs to come with guilt. Every baby deserves compassionate and individualized care, no matter how they entered the world.

I truly believe in working alongside other professionals who can look at different pieces of the puzzle and help baby feel their best. Chiropractors, physical therapists, myofunctional therapists, dentists, and other providers can all bring something valuable to the table.

No one provider can do it all! In fact, I think that’s the beauty of collaborative care. When we communicate, refer when appropriate, and stay focused on what is best for baby, we can help families feel more supported and give baby the care they deserve.

But I also know that finding a great team of providers isn’t always easy, especially when you live in a rural area. Sometimes the right support is hours away, or there simply aren’t providers nearby who offer the kind of care your baby needs. That’s one of the reasons I’m now offering virtual sessions. 💻

While hands-on care is wonderful when it’s accessible, virtual sessions can give me the opportunity to connect with families who may not otherwise have access to this kind of guidance and helping parents learn movements, stretches, positioning, and ways to support their baby at home is the goal. Your location shouldn’t have to determine whether your baby gets support.

I’m so grateful to be part of a growing community of providers who believe in collaboration over competition and in surrounding babies and their families with the care they need.

Sometimes releasing the tension is just the first step.

Babies who have spent a lot of time holding tension may have learned to move their bodies in very specific ways because those movements were the ones that felt safest or most comfortable.

So when we finally help reduce that tension, they may not automatically know what to do with all that new freedom. Their body is more comfortable, but their brain still needs to make the connection:

✨ “I can move this way.”
✨ “This position feels good.”
✨ “I don’t have to protect myself here.”
✨ “My body is safe to explore.”

Sometimes we can help by gently and slowly moving their bodies into positions they haven’t freely explored yet. We’re giving their brain an opportunity to experience the movement without the discomfort that may have been there before.
It’s not about forcing a movement or making a baby “do” something before they’re ready. It’s about gently showing their nervous system what is possible now that their body has more freedom.
Sometimes the body needs a little help teaching the brain that it’s okay to move.

A TEAM UPDATE

Some of you have gotten to know my daughter, Cailynn, over the last several months. Her working alongside me was always meant to be temporary while she figured out what was next, and I’m so excited to share that she has officially landed a full-time job as a teacher’s assistant! Along with online college classes she will be plenty busy!

Cailynn’s last day with me will be tomorrow, October 7th, and I am SO grateful she was willing to step in and fill the gap when I needed an extra set of hands. She has been such a help, and I’m going to miss having her by my side!

God is so good and the day Cailynn accepted her new position, I got a text from this gal asking if I'd be interested in interviewing her. Faithful does He provide and He knew exactly who to send my way.

Please welcome Kayley! She is joining me because she is genuinely interested in learning this work and becoming more familiar with working with babies and their bodies. You may see her in the treatment room from time to time as she learns and gains experience. I’m really excited to have her here and to have someone who is eager to learn this work alongside me! She will be with me in office on Monday's and Wednesday's.

Heads-up for my clients: Kayley will officially start October 22nd, so for the next couple of weeks it will be just me. That means things may move a little slower than usual, so I’m asking for a little extra patience and grace during this transition.

So, thank you, Cailynn, for jumping in when I needed you. And welcome, Kayley I'm excited for you to start!

🚩 One thing that makes me pause: when a breastfeeding mom is immediately told to start eliminating foods before we look at anything else.

Newborn life is already A LOT. You’re recovering, sleep-deprived, learning your baby, trying to keep up with feeding… and then suddenly you’re given a long list of foods you “can’t” eat. 😵‍💫

Yes, sometimes food sensitivities or intolerances absolutely play a role. But they aren’t always the answer.

Sometimes baby is uncomfortable because baby’s body is uncomfortable.

Tension through the jaw, neck, shoulders, diaphragm, belly, or pelvis can affect how a baby feeds, moves, digests, and settles. When we address the tension and look at the whole baby, we can sometimes see significant changes in comfort without mom having to completely reinvent her diet.

Before putting another restriction on an already depleted mama, let’s ask:

What else could be contributing to this baby’s discomfort?

Look at the whole picture. Support the baby. Support the mom. And a good reminder, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.

And honestly… I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I don’t receive money, kickbacks, or anything else for referring babies to other providers. I believe that’s exactly how it should be.

When I refer a baby to a pediatric dentist, orthodontist, physical therapist, myofuntional therapist, occupational therapist, chiropractor, or another provider, you can feel confident that I’m doing so because I genuinely believe that provider or service could benefit your child.

My goal isn’t to keep you in my care just because I can. My goal with babies is to continuously work myself out of a job!

My job isn’t to be the only provider your baby sees. ( 🚩 if your provider isn't willing to refer out) My job is to recognize when they need something outside of my scope and connect you with someone I trust to help fill that gap.

At the end of the day, it’s about doing what’s best for your baby, and I believe together, we can achieve more!

Myofascial therapy and myofunctional therapy are two different approaches, but they can work beautifully together.

Myofascial therapy focuses on the body by addressing tension, restrictions, and movement patterns within connective tissue.

Myofunctional therapy focuses more on function by helping improve how the tongue, lips, jaw, and other oral structures work together for things like breathing, swallowing, chewing, and oral rest posture.

One isn’t necessarily a replacement for the other. In many cases, they can complement each other by addressing both the body and the function.

When the body has restrictions, it can impact function. And when function is changing, the body may need support adapting to those changes.
This is why I love a collaborative approach.

Looking at the whole picture can give babies, kids, and families more support along the way. Different providers bring different pieces to the puzzle, and sometimes those pieces work best when we put them together.

When in-person care is an option, that is ideal. There is something incredibly valuable about being hands-on and feeling what is happening in their little body.

BUT… I also know that in-person care isn’t always accessible.

Maybe you live hours away. Maybe there isn’t a provider near you. Maybe you’re on a long waitlist.
Maybe your provider isn't sending you home with stretches.

That’s where my online sessions come in.

During an online session, I can watch your baby move, talk through what you’re seeing at home, teach you stretches and techniques, answer your questions, and help you feel more confident supporting their body.

Is it the exact same as being together in person? No. And I would never want to pretend that it is.
But if access to hands-on care is limited, you don’t have to feel like you’re on your own.

Online support can help fill in the gaps and give you tools to keep moving forward.

If you’ve been wishing you had someone to guide you through what you’re seeing at home, online sessions may be a great place to start.

This sweet little one spent WEEKS coming to sessions upset. 😭 Big emotions, crying, struggling to get onto the table… sometimes it felt like we were taking one step forward and two steps back. And then one day… it all clicked. 🔑

Now they willingly climb onto the table and are comfortable being here.

Two things I want parents to take away from this:

✨ Regulating a nervous system takes time.
Sometimes the progress is happening beneath the surface long before we can see it. Consistency, safety, trust, and time can make a huge difference.

✨ Please never feel bad or apologize when your baby or toddler cries during a session.
I promise, I am not bothered by their big emotions. I expect them! Crying, resisting, needing breaks, or having a hard time can all be part of the process. My job is to meet them where they are and help their body feel safe enough to eventually get there.

There is no timeline for regulation. No perfect session. And no need to apologize for a little one simply having big feelings.

Sometimes, the biggest progress comes after weeks of what feels like very little progress. 🫶

Mom was incredibly diligent about doing baby’s stretches at home, even when baby wasn’t exactly thrilled about them. 😅 And that consistency made a HUGE difference in just one week.

Our time together in a session is important, but what you do at home between sessions is where so much of the magic happens. The stretches help support the healing process, maintain mobility, and help prevent those tissues from tightening back up.

And yes… sometimes baby is going to be fussy. Sometimes they are going to cry. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re hurting them or doing something wrong.

And if you’re doing the stretches every day but not seeing a dramatic change yet, don’t be discouraged. Every baby and every body heals differently. Some babies show changes quickly, while others need more time and consistency. Keep showing up, even when you can’t see the progress yet, your consistency matters.

You’ve got this, mama. 🤍
