Wellness, Connection & Co-Regulation

A Holistic Approach

Infant feeding and development go hand in hand as do parent and baby wellness. Feeding is a whole body experience and how the body moves influences what happens at the mouth and vice versa. When skills are disorganized, there is body tension or the nervous system is dysregulated, the feeding experience for baby and parent can suffer. Milestone achievement can also be delayed. When breastfeeding and bottle feeding are not going well, suddenly parent stress and anxiety are at new heights. Bonding and parent mental health can also be impacted over time. Developmentally supportive play, exercises, stretching, positioning, baby bodywork/infant massage and babywearing can all help baby improve movement, release tension, reach milestones and can connect parent and baby.

Supporting you in finding the Joy and Play of this new baby journey.
