Craniosacral therapy (CST) is something that few people understand. CST comes from Osteopathy and is a gentle, rhythmic movement to support bones and the cerebrospinal fluid moving within us. CST is gentle and focuses heavily on the head. Meaghan Beames is not just a practitioner of CST, but a leader and teacher, who wants to help many more providers learn this gentle bodywork to support babies. Katie Oshita and Meaghan Beames discuss how this gentle therapy helps with feeding difficulties, tongue tie, mastitis and more.
