Infant Craniosacral Protocols & Techniques with Lori Hendrickson, CST hosted by Dr Sarah Bober held at Community Roots Collective, Tampa Florida - June 6, 2021.** https://lorihendrickson.regfox.com/infant-cst-protocols

In this workshop you will learn a series of connective tissue and fascial stretches that significantly facilitate cranial sacral therapy protocols. These stretches address plagiocephaly, torticollis, acid reflux, an inability to form a good latch while breast-feeding , tongue lip and Buccal tie restrictions and a myriad of other pathologies that can arise with any of these disorders. You will also be introduced to the cranial sacral protocol and will leave with a sound understanding of the cranial sacral system and its functions. Lori’s workshops are very interactive and collaborative. She encourages students to ask questions and to share case histories throughout the afternoon. The culture of the environment is open and welcoming which cultivates an atmosphere of sharing and learning from all who attend.

There will be one certificate of completion available at the end of this workshop.
- Babies in arms are always welcome! Contact Hannah Day if you plan to bring your baby as a model.
- Bing a lunch and/or snacks to enjoy throughout the afternoon.
- Bring a medium to large sized soft-bodied baby-doll to practice with.
- Handouts are available ahead of time for you to print out for class and to keep as a reference.
- Upon completion of this live workshop, you will also receive lifetime access to Lori’s online workshop video (5+ hours of recorded footage) for additional educational support, along with your certificate of completion via email.
Location: Community Roots Collective, Tampa, FL

Are you overwhelmed by all of the shoe options out there? I was for sure, so I created this list of words that you can search for to be empowered in your footwear choices. It's not about me telling you what to buy/use, it's about you being informed and understanding why we are doing this and how to find the answers for yourself.

Have you tried barefoot shoes? How did it go?

Less is more when it comes to feet. Ok? Ok.

what does head space have to do with birth? nearly everything.

if you don't feel fully supported, safe, and empowered, then your body will resist going into labor. This goes equally for your partner. It's important for everyone in the birth family to be ready to take this step in expanding your family.

first things first:
your estimated due date is an estimation. This calculation is made off of a 28 day cycle with ovulation on the 14th day. Many cycles vary between 21 and 35 days.

always talk to your midwife or doctor before doing any labor induction methods, even if they are natural.

mantras are statements you say to yourself, preferably out loud, that you repeat until you feel it sounds true for you. they can help you cultivate a sense of peace, readiness, excitement, and surrender, around birth.

typically, i do not encourage methods to jumpstart labor, but I know that many moms are anxious of a hospital birth if they go beyond 42 weeks, and so I have assembled these mantras for you.

note: they are not my own. most are from pinterest.r

would you be interested in a post on things you can do to naturally stimulate labor? let me know below

The government does not care about your health.

Phthalates are endocrine-disrupting chemicals used to make #3 plastic (PVC or vinyl) flexible. PVC leaches phthalates when it’s heated or worn down. Phthalates are found in personal-care products and detergents, often labeled as “fragrance.” Phthalate exposure has been linked to early puberty in girls, a risk factor for later breast cancer.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disrupter found in reusable polycarbonate ( #7 plastic) food and beverage containers (including baby bottles); the lining of food and beverage cans; in PVC ( #3 plastic); and on receipts and money. Research links BPA to breast cancer, miscarriage, erectile dysfunction and heart disease.

Used as a disinfectant in municipal water systems, chlorine is toxic, even at low concentrations. Studies link chlorine exposure through ingestion and showering with an increased risk of heart disease, allergic reactions and miscarriages, as well as increased rates of bladder, colon and re**al cancers. Chlorine irritates the eyes, nose and throat.

Radon is a natural, odorless radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the ground. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer (and the leading cause for nonsmokers) and can be detected with a test kit.

PFCs (perfluorochemicals) are persistent organic pollutants used on stain-resistant clothing and upholstery, cooking pans, fast-food wrappers, and inside pet food and microwave popcorn bags. Teflon, Scotchgard, Stainmaster and Gore-Tex are all PFCs. They have been associated with low-weight babies, abnormal thyroid hormone levels, liver inflammation and reduced immune function.

If it kills insects or weeds, it likely isn’t good for human health, either. Many common pesticides are known carcinogens. One chemical in many pesticides, dichlorvos, is associated with mammary tumors in rats or mice. Another, glyphosate, has been linked to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Formaldehyde is a flammable, pungent compound found in building materials, pressed-wood products, melamine (hard plastic) dishes and cigarette smoke. It can irritate the eyes, throat and mucus membranes, and cause headaches and nausea.
