Gentle, in-home infant bodywork and craniosacral support
for feeding, regulation, comfort, and early development.
We begin by supporting what is already working — whether your baby needs extra support or you simply want to nurture comfort, regulation, and development from the beginning.
In the early weeks and months of life, babies rely on connection, pacing, and felt safety to organize their systems. In the beginning, this happens through relationship, rhythm, and support.
When a baby feels safe and supported, the nervous system often has more capacity for coordination, comfort, and rest.
Gentle infant bodywork works within that process — not by forcing change, but by listening closely and supporting the baby’s system as it organizes.


Parents and caregivers are the experts when it comes to their baby. My role is to offer a steady, added layer of support when families want help making sense of what they are seeing — or when they simply want to support comfort and development early.
Families often reach out when a baby:
Some families schedule because something feels difficult. Others come simply because they want to support their baby before concerns become more pronounced.
Care is offered with steadiness, careful observation, and deep respect for each baby’s sensitivity and individual rhythm.
Infant bodywork offers gentle, hands-on support to help babies regulate, coordinate, and move with greater ease as their systems develop.
Sessions are quiet and unhurried.
Close attention is paid to how feeding, breathing, movement, and nervous system regulation are working together in your baby.
Often the shifts are subtle: a deeper breath, softer jaw tension, a more coordinated suck-swallow-breathe rhythm, and easier transitions between awake and settled states.
There is time to pause.
Time to observe.
Time for feeding, settling, or simply holding.
I listen for shifts in breathing, tone, coordination, and ease — and follow what your baby is ready for that day.
Parents are always present and involved. Questions are welcome.
Sessions include time for conversation, observation, feeding as needed, gentle hands-on support, and pauses for settling along the way. Parents are always present and involved, and the visit follows your baby’s cues.
Initial visit: 90 minutes
Follow-up visit: 60 minutes
Sessions take place in your home so your baby can remain in a familiar environment.
Sessions are collaborative and paced in a way that feels steady rather than overwhelming. Over time, families often notice subtle but meaningful shifts, such as:

" I didn't know what to expect but we heard about this work from a mom in my baby group. Feeding has been amazing since our treatment a month ago. It's less painful and she can feed without using the nipple shield. The transfer is better than it ever was. Thank you Ruby. "

" In general, everything is improving since we started coming to you. There's so much growth and she’s more happy and smiles more. "

Care is often most effective when providers work together and build on what is already working for a baby and family.
Infant feeding and early development involve coordination between many systems — such as the nervous system, cranial nerves, cranial structures, musculoskeletal tissues, developing airway, and the internal systems that support breathing and digestion.
When helpful, I collaborate with other professionals involved in your baby’s care, including:
This work complements medical care — it does not replace it.
Whether your baby needs extra support or you simply want to support comfort, regulation, and development from the beginning, it would be a privilege to support your family.
