Does your baby seem to have a “favourite side” when feeding? 👀

Maybe they latch beautifully on the left, but suddenly struggle on the right.

Or they pop off, fuss, turn their head away, or seem much more comfortable in one feeding position.

Sometimes this can be related to how comfortable baby is turning their head & body in different directions. Tension, positioning, or a preference for looking one way can all be things worth paying attention to.

It doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong & it doesn’t mean CST is the answer for every baby.

But if you’re consistently noticing a difference between sides, it’s worth talking to your lactation consultant, feeding professional, pediatrician, or other appropriate healthcare provider about what might be going on.

& for some babies, CST/bodywork may be one piece of the puzzle. 🌿

Save this for later if you’re navigating feeding challenges, or send it to a new parent who might need it. 🤍

A day in the life of a Massage & Craniosacral Therapist 🤍🌿

A little glimpse into a very normal day around here…

🏋️‍♀️ Starting the day at Prairie Roots Fitness in Niverville Prairie Roots Fitness
🧺 Folding approximately 700 loads of laundry (okay, maybe not quite 😂)
🚗 Heading into the city for a mobile treatment with the sweetest set of twins
🌶️ Making a very important stop at Spiceworld Canada Spice World
🚶‍♀️ Walking to the clinic
🛏️ Setting up for a massage treatment
📱 Creating & catching up on social media
🧼 Cleaning up and resetting the treatment room
🌙 Setting everything up for tomorrow
🚶‍♀️ And finally… walking home

Some days are busy, some are quiet, and some involve a lot more laundry than I’d like to admit 😂

But I genuinely love all the little pieces that make up my days as a Massage & Craniosacral Therapist. From working with clients, to caring for my space, to building Gentle Roots behind the scenes, it’s a pretty good life. 🤍

Things you’ll hear me say approximately 47 times a day as an RMT + CST provider 😂👇

💆‍♀️ “Pain during a massage can actually make your muscles protect instead of relax.”
More pressure ≠ better treatment. Sometimes your body needs less force & more time to let go.

🏃‍♀️ “Movement over stationary.”
Our bodies are designed to move! When appropriate, I’d much rather help you find comfortable movement than keep you completely still & hope something magically changes.

🤱 “Breastfeeding should not hurt.”
Tenderness can happen, especially early on, but ongoing pain is not something you simply have to “push through.” Pain is your body giving you information.

👶 “A fussy or colicky baby is almost always uncomfortable.”
Babies don’t fuss for no reason. Sometimes there’s something going on that is making them uncomfortable, & figuring out why is an important part of supporting them.

Basically, if you’ve been treated by me long enough, you’ve probably heard at least one of these. 😂

& if you haven’t yet…

Hi, I’m Brieanne. We’ll probably be talking about all of these. 👋🏼😂

POV: Someone tells me, “My healthcare professional said my baby doesn’t need to p**p every day.”

Me: OH BOYYYYY 😂💩

Let’s talk about baby p**p because this is something I hear ALL. THE. TIME.

Just like adults, babies have bowel movements as a normal & important part of digestion.

The rule of thumb for babies all the way up to adults is that we should be p**ping at least once a day.

But what care about isn’t just how often your baby is p**ping it’s the whole picture:

💩 Are their stools soft or hard?
💩 Are they comfortable or struggling?
💩 Are they frequently straining?
💩 Are they red faced or grunting?
💩 Are they gassy or bloated?
💩 Are they feeding well & acting like themselves?

So if your baby’s p**p pattern has changed or something just doesn’t seem right, don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Because sometimes “that’s normal for babies” isn’t quite the end of the conversation. 👀

& yes... baby p**p is absolutely something we can talk about. 😂🤍

✨ Ever wonder how pregnancy massage works when you can’t comfortably lie on your stomach? 🤰🤍

Meet the pregnancy bolster!

This specialized cushion is designed to comfortably support your growing belly & chest, allowing many expecting moms to safely enjoy lying face down during their massage.

Every pregnancy is different, so we’ll always make sure you’re positioned in the way that feels safest & most comfortable, whether that’s using the bolster or side-lying with supportive pillows.

Pregnancy massage isn’t just about relaxation (although that’s a wonderful bonus!). It can also help:
🤍 Ease back, hip, & pelvic discomfort
🤍 Reduce muscle tension
🤍 Improve relaxation & sleep
🤍 Give you a chance to slow down & reconnect with your body

You deserve to be comfortable, supported, & cared for throughout your pregnancy. 💛

Have questions about pregnancy massage or whether it’s right for you? Send me a message! I’d be happy to help!

POV: Me, on a mission to let parents know they don’t have to “just wait it out.” 🤍

Craniosacral Therapy isn’t a magic fix, but when babies have tension in their bodies, gentle treatment may help them:
✨ Feed more comfortably
✨ Sleep more soundly
✨ Feel less fussy
✨ Settle their nervous system

Every baby is different, but sometimes a little extra support can make a big difference for both baby & parents. 🌱

Have you ever wondered if bodywork could help your little one? I’d love to answer your questions. 💚
