MilkSupport: Because feeding your baby isn’t always as easy as it looks

A word on bodywork

Many clients ask how infant bodywork can be a helpful practice specifically to improve breastfeeding behavior.  This includes craniosacral therapy, chiropractic adjustments and osteopathy.

Don't just take it from me, here are the details and such:
