I came to know about osteopathy for babies after meeting Melinda and Elyse at the breastfeeding cafe. Both Melinda and Elyse observed that my 4 month old daughter was very tense in her upper body and wasn't relaxed. I had struggled to get her to relax and feed sufficiently which is what took me to the breastfeeding cafe initially. However, had I not, I wouldn't have known and would have assumed that my daughters uptight posture was normal. After a couple of sessions with Elyse I have seen an immense improvement in how relaxed my daughter is. She is able to spend more time doing tummytime and actually enjoys it as she can now fully explore her surroundings without being so restricted in movement... she's now becoming the baby she should have been! Not to mention that breastfeeding has been so much calmer than before.
Also, due to a complicated ventouse delivery my daughter had some misshaping of her head. Although the GP said it would improve with time, I have noticed a significant improvement with her head shape in just a few sessions. I would highly recommend Elyse as she has a great demeanour with babies and was very professional as well as patient.
My daughter also loved the toys in the room, which were extremely helpful on the occasions I forgot my daughters favourite toys at home.
Thank you to Elyse and Melinda for the great service you offer! read more
