Baby's Best Start: Craniosacral Therapy ...

My Essential Birth
About this episode

In this episode, I’m so excited to introduce you to Meaghan Beames, a craniosacral therapist who brings such a gentle, knowledgeable approach to supporting both babies and mamas. We’re diving into what craniosacral therapy (CST) actually is, how it works, and the amazing ways it can help—especially with things like colic, latching challenges, and tension in both moms and little ones. Meaghan also shares how CST is different from chiropractic care and offers practical tips for expectant moms who are curious about incorporating it into their care. It’s a fascinating and nurturing conversation you won’t want to miss!
