Gentle, Safe & Effective Baby Osteopathy in Christchurch (Chch)

As a qualified baby osteopath, I use cranial osteopathy for babies—a soft-touch, no-poke approach to help babies feel relaxed, comfortable, and happy. Whether your baby has birth niggles, feeding issues, or head shape concerns, my sessions focus on natural baby healthcare to support optimal growth and development.

Sometimes, all Bub needs is a little extra TLC after birth. Whether your little one is feeling grumpy, struggling with Bub’s belly discomfort, or needs some extra help settling into a cruisy sleep routine, I provide gentle osteopathic care to help. Even if your baby has frequent spew episodes or just needs support for better digestion, I can help with a natural, hands-on approach.

FAQs – Infant & Baby Osteopathy

1. Is osteopathy safe for babies?

Yes! Safe osteopathy for infants is gentle, soothing, and completely natural. My techniques ensure your baby stays comfortable throughout the session.

2. When should I take my baby to an osteopath?

Ideally, all babies should have a post-birth osteo check-up, even if they seem fine. Birth, even in smooth deliveries, can create tension. Early baby osteopathy helps prevent feeding, sleep, and digestive issues. If your baby has had a difficult birth (C-section, forceps, ventouse) or shows signs like:

✔ Colic, reflux, or unsettled feeding
✔ Tension, stiffness, or always turning their head one way
✔ Sleep disturbances or excessive crying

Then baby osteopathy can help with baby health and wellness.

3. What happens during a baby osteopathy session?

Gentle assessment of your baby’s movement & posture
Soft hands-on techniques to release tension
Personalised advice on feeding, sleep & comfort
Your baby stays relaxed throughout, and the session is adapted to their needs. If your little one is ready for a Snooze, we can even adjust the session to keep things calm and restful.

4. Can I breastfeed during the session?

Absolutely! Breastfeeding support is part of the session. Feeding helps soothe your baby and allows me to observe their sucking, swallowing, and latch—if there’s tension in their mouth, jaw, or neck, I can gently release it to improve feeding efficiency.
