Wednesday, September 21st, Sally Leissner, LMT joined in our mom circle at Butterfly Elements as our guest speaker. Sally is a favorite and has come to teach infant massage a couple times to my circles. This time we all learned a lot about CranioSacral.
CS is gentle and relaxing, with only light pressure. I'm sure Sally's calm and loving energy makes CranioSacral with her even more beneficial.
Sometimes energy, fluid, can become "stuck" as it travels from your brain, down your spinal column, and back up to your brain. CS gets it moving again.
It can be very beneficial after any experience where you felt stressed or scared, when adrenaline floods your body. She has had moms who were having low milk supply issues,and while doing CS they relaxed and let down, milk began to flow.
In a class I took recently, the instructor told us that CS can be beneficial for moms who have had cesareans. Some practioners even smell anesthesia leaving the body.
Sally has also had great success helping babies who are having latch issues. With CS they calm, open wider, cry less. Babies who especially benefit from CS are any who have had any head trauma such as from forceps, vacuum extraction, a long pushing stage, being in a sub-optimal position such as posterior.
She also helps children with Autism and ADD slow their energy down and calm.
Any age can benefit! Sally had personal experience with healing through CS after she was in a couple car accidents as an adult. She had CS done on herself, and it helped so much she wanted to offer it to others.
If you missed Sally, she is going to join us at the Central Texas Birth Center on 10/12! Join us anytime from 10am to Noon.
Next Wednesday Hanna Ford, LMT, will share with us why she chooses to practice Attachment Parenting with her baby!
