Dual Craniosacral Therapy for Parents & Infants
with Rebecca Elowen & Linda Marshall
Craniosacral therapy is an extremely gentle form of bodywork that is ideal for new parents and young babies as they adjust to their new lives and process their experiences thus far. In this work, the practitioners listen to the parent's and baby's bodies, energy and emotions, using very soft touch and gentle holds to invite them to release tension, improve mobility and ease, and process challenges from their time in the womb, birth or early days.
In a dual session, the parent will lay on on their back or side on a massage table, propped with pillows for their comfort, where they will receive craniosacral therapy from Linda Marshall. Their baby will lay on their chest, next to them on the table, or on a pillow right next to them while Rebecca Elowen offers the baby craniosacral therapy as well. This is a very personalized session, in which we may share insights that are arising, or we may just drop into a deep, meditative and healing space.
When we work on both parent and baby together, they are able to share the benefits of their releases with each other, allowing each to deepen the healing work they're able to do in just an hour or two. This can be a magical, nourishing, bonding experience, and profound change often results. Clients often return a few times, just for the pleasure and transformation they experience!

Initial Visit
In this first visit we will review your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences, what you've noticed that brought you to our care, and what you hope for. Then we will get you on the table, figure out where the baby wants to start out, and begin to work on both of you at the same time. Your baby may move several times, laying across to you nurse if appropriate (supported by Rebecca, as a lactation consultant), laying on your belly or chest, laying on a pillow next to you, or in Rebecca's arms or lap. The therapy can be offered to both of you throughout all of these adjustments, and we emphasize above all else your physical and emotional comfort with how the session is going.
The fee for an Initial Dual Craniosacral Session is $300. (Sliding scale available upon request.)
An Initial Visit generally lasts 1.5-2 hours.
This visit will take place in Linda's office in Santa Rosa.

Follow Up Visits
In a follow up session, we will check in on how things have been since our last visit, then proceed with a similar flow of bodywork, integrating the gentle, therapeutic touch into your baby's rhythms of eating, sleeping, and hanging in in your arms or Rebecca's while you lay on the massage table.
