Ep 284: Keeping an Open Mind with Infant Craniosacral Therapist Meaghan Beames

All About Pregnancy & Birth

When exploring ‘alternative’ therapies, it’s crucial to understand the training and qualifications of practitioners. Although licensure and certification aren’t guarantees, they certainly help give you some assurance that the person is trained and capable. This week’s guest, Meaghan Beames, is a Registered Massage Therapist and Craniosacral Therapist who teaches perinatal professionals how to incorporate CST into their practices.

Now, I will be honest, I was a little hesitant about this episode. While craniosacral therapy is offered at many mainstream big institutions like the Cleveland Clinic, Duke, or Harvard, some folks say that craniosacral therapy is pseudoscience and it's relatively new in pregnancy and infants. But I ultimately decided that this is important information to share. I learned a lot and you will too.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

• What craniosacral therapy is and how it works
• Which pregnancy and infant conditions craniosacral therapy can help with
• How craniosacral therapy works and which areas of the body it targets
• How many sessions are typically recommended
• What to look for in a craniosacral therapist
• What research says about the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy
