CranioSacral Therapy for Fertility, Conception, & Pregnancy

Women receive the greatest benefit for easier labors and shorter pushing phases when they receive CranioSacral Therapy throughout pregnancy. 
​A properly functioning nervous system improves the functioning of all our body systems including the reproductive system. Craniosacral Therapy during pregnancy can ease discomforts in the body and release physical restrictions in the uterine ligaments, pelvis, and coccyx- facilitating more effective labors and stronger communication between mom and baby during the birth process.

Due-Date Appointment

Many women experience some type of stress as their due-date approaches. Some are trying to work as long as they can before the baby comes, others may have fears surfacing as the birth approaches, and many begin to feel pressure from family or care-providers to induce labor.
Craniosacral Therapy helps process fears & anxiety around giving birth while reducing stress and re-setting the nervous system, allowing the body to go into labor.  CST does not induce labor but once the nervous system is calm, the body can more easily respond to it's own process of starting labor. 
Amanda Glenn has advanced training through Upledger Institute in CranioSacral Therapy for Obstetrics and has been a labor doula since 2004. She brings extensive first-hand experience into her work as a CranioSacral Therapist for expecting families. 
CranioSacral Therapy does not cure disease or treat symptoms. This healthcare modality helps to release tension throughout the body to reduce strain on the CranialSacral System which supports more freedom in movement and promotes optimum nervous system functioning.
