Craniosacral Therapy for Baby
Craniosacral therapy is very helpful in resolving cranial molding that baby’s experience during birth. Unresolved birth trauma and cranial molding can cause and/or contribute to colic, ear infections, slowing development stages, irritable and agitated babies, and ADHD, and learning difficulties.

Surya

 

Surya is the grateful mama to 3 kids ages 10, 5, and 2 years, who teach her new things everyday. As a young girl Surya lived on The Farm (home to Ina May Gaskin) and was raised in a yogic family. With this foundation,
she is an authentic lifelong practitioner of yoga and birth facilitator.
Surya has been teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga for over 10 years.

Surya has her BA in psychology, certifications in yoga and personal training but claims her credentials come from self educating herself. As a student of birth, birth psychology, and the infant mind, she is constantly being
educated by acting as a home-birth doula (labor and birth support).

All her other important research and discoveries were as a result of mothering her 3 unschooled, home-birthed, diaper free, raw food kids.
 
Join Surya and all her wisdom for a nurturing, supportive experience with you and your baby both on your mat and in circle of new motherhood.

"SanDiegoNaturalFamilies" Yahoo Chat Group where you can e-mail with other San Diego families about all kinds of natural parenting ideas. This is a very alive and active group -- you may get several e-mails a day, but they're full of answers, intuition, insight, information and support. "This group is for parents who tend to stray away from mainstream thinking in many or all of their parenting practices. Thoughts about attachment parenting principles, extended breastfeeding, homebirth, midwifery, anti-immunization, no circumcision, and homeschooling are just a few of the issues that separate us from mainstream parenting. We may also discuss other topics such as cloth diapering, tandem nursing, limited/no television, homeopathy and holistic practices, organically grown foods, vegan, and vegetarian practices."
