Children grow so fast!  In their first year of life they transform from an infant who suckles milk, to babbling, to rolling over, to sitting up, to eating solid food, to crawling, to standing, to walking, to imitating talking, singing and so much more. As parents, we get inspired to begin seeing the world through their eyes, and want so much for them to be healthy and to feel happy and safe in the world.

A secure attachment between the child and parent(s) or primary caregiver is key to ensuring they feel safe, protected, lovable, accepted, and free to enjoy the flow of life. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) and pre and perinatal psychology insights can help deepen an already existing healthy attachment, strengthen a weakened attachment or help establish secure attachment where the opportunities to do so got interrupted, blocked, or missed.

BCST provides a sense of safety that invites trauma imprints, whether they be emotional, such as separation at birth or physical, such as a vacuum extraction or a childhood injury, to reveal themselves as inertial fulcrums inspired to reconnect with health. In this reunion with health, a holistic shift takes place as patterns of distortion dissolve into a process of reorganizing, which seeks realignment in order to reach at state of balance and wholeness.

The adolescent years are a dynamic stage in life of both self discovery and a reexamination of the world. Not only are teens immersed in an array of purposeful developmental changes, but they are also vulnerable to becoming disoriented by an increase in challenges, which call on them to expand their capacity to navigate the terrain of their youth, leading them toward adulthood. They continue to need compassionate guidance to support them in nurturing feelings of belonging, in building self esteem and self confidence, and in staying true to themselves.

They can also experience various degrees of stress in their family life, in their peer groups, academically, and from extra-curricular activities. The influence of and dependency on media, to a great degree, can bombard them and undermine their sense of focus and alignment with their innate human potential. At school they can be challenged by social dynamics and academic struggles, while also having to manage their study load. In sports, their bodies train hard and can get injured, often repeatedly. This time of tremendous transformation requires ample sleep for rest and recuperation, thus supporting quality of sleep is fundamental to adolescent health.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) supports the emotional and physical wellbeing of teens. It helps to regulate their Triune Autonomic Nervous System, teach them about stress management, improves quality of sleep, strengthens their sense of identity, and assists them in making good choices for themselves. All of these contribute to establishing practices which optimize living a meaningful and joyful life.
