Such a joy to work with Julie & Katie at Circle who do such fantastic work supporting children and their families, if youโre looking for a charity to support please consider them ๐๐ฉท
Thanks to incredible fundraising by Katie and Cerri, who completed the Scottish Half Marathon 2025 and raised over ยฃ1,000, Circle was able to offer osteopathy sessions to parents and babies attending Havenโs Baby Massage groups and Outreach work. Many parents shared concerns about reflux, colic, and other medical issues, and these sessions provided gentle, therapeutic support alongside medical advice.
Working with Amanda Burnham from AB Osteopathy, Edinburgh, 8 parents and 10 babies received over 30 sessions, tailored to individual needs. For babies, treatment was completely baby-led, involving a gentle, light touch and always including parents. Parents also received practical advice on feeding positions and exercises to continue at home.
For parents, sessions focused on their own wellbeing too - using massage, stretches, and exercises to support recovery after birth.
