Baby Colic, Reflux and Early Days
There are many factors contributing to colic, reflux and fussiness in a baby
- Unresolved compression of the base of the skull, head and tightness in the body due to birth dynamics which may impact on the nerves responsible for feeding and digestion. This can manifest as difficulties latching, swallowing, sucking, burping, regurgitation, excessive wind and constipation among others.
- Gut inflammation and an imbalance of healthy gut bacteria can lead to cramping, bloating, reflux-like symptoms, frequent nappy change and/or straining and food reactions including difficulty digesting lactose and/or cow’s milk protein.
- Strong emotions associated with birth and early days can have negative effects on the baby’s sleep patterns, alertness, ability to soothe and bonding.
Multiple causes require multiple approaches
I offer a specialised blend of techniques carefully designed to address colic and reflux, as well as other early-stage concerns, ensuring a safe and personalised experience for you and your baby.

What to expect
Baby Colic and Early days programme
3 (60min) consultations €360
Those early weeks and months with your baby are precious — and sometimes overwhelming. This comprehensive programme is lovingly designed to support your baby’s physical, motor, and sensory development while giving you the reassurance and guidance you need along the way.
A true parent favourite, this programme offers both value and continuity of care:
- Thoughtfully Priced
More supportive and cost-effective than booking individual sessions, allowing us to work together consistently over time. - Regular Craniosacral Therapy Sessions
Gentle, calming treatments help ease tension, release restrictions, and support digestion, sleep, and overall relaxation — helping your baby feel more settled and comfortable in their body. - Personalised, Evolving Care
Your baby’s needs naturally change in the early months, and your care plan evolves alongside them. With each session, we build on simple, nurturing home practices — such as gentle holds, soothing movements, and calming techniques — while thoughtfully adjusting dietary and supplement guidance where needed. - Ongoing Email Support
You’re not alone between appointments. Email support is available for any pressing questions or reassurance when you need it most.
Follow-ups (60min) €150
After completing the initial programme, follow-up sessions may be helpful to gently build on the progress made and support lasting, meaningful improvements.
Stand-alone (60min) consultation €225
One-off consultations are available; however, most families choose the Baby Colic & Early Days Programme for the continuity, depth, and reassurance it provides during this important stage.
Both parents are welcome to attend. However, to maintain focus and minimise distractions, I recommend leaving siblings at home during a consultation.

During a consultation
Consultations take place on their parents’ arms, floormat or the plinth depending on the stage of development of the baby. On the floormat, I am able to observe and recognise baby language which can provide helpful insights. On the plinth, I am able to show parents helpful exercises.
Building trust and making baby and parents comfortable is key. I approach babies with a caring, non-judgemental attitude and respect their timings, i.e. is it ok to feed or change a baby during a consultation.
Consultations are dynamic. They will be time to answer questions/concerns from the parents, hands-on therapy time with the baby as well as gentle exploration of the birth story as a family.
After a consultation
A personalised plan for yourself and your baby with recommendations, including:
- Home exercises to ease restrictions, support digestion and behaviour
- If breastfeeding, maternal dietary advice, including key foods to include for optimal breastfeeding as well as foods to avoid to help with baby's symptoms. Recipes and simple cooking ideas too
- Postpartum maternal dietary advice
- For bottle-fed babies, recommendations to optimise nutrients through formula.
- Home remedies and supplements (when needed) to aid with digestion and sleep with detailed instructions on dose and timings.
Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to build on the work and closely monitor your baby’s progress. The number and frequency of appointments will naturally vary based on your baby’s unique needs.
