🤰 For Perinatal Mothers

🌿 Nervous System Regulation & Emotional Well-Being

Pregnancy and childbirth create intense shifts in hormones, emotions, and nervous system activity. BCST helps regulate these changes, fostering calm and resilience. It supports postpartum mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA). BCST also encourages the body to return to a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, promoting deep relaxation and healing.

🤕 Healing from Birth Trauma & Physical Recovery

Whether birth was natural, medicated, or surgical, BCST can help the body process and release tension from labur and delivery. It is especially helpful for C-section recovery, as it supports the body's ability to heal from surgical trauma and restore balance in the pelvic region. BCST helps relieve back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sacral misalignment caused by pregnancy, labour, or epidurals.

💖 Supporting Breastfeeding & Bonding

Stress, birth trauma, and nervous system imbalances can sometimes affect milk production and the breastfeeding relationship. BCST supports the oxytocin response, enhancing relaxation and mother-infant bonding. BCST also helps address postural tension and discomfort from holding and nursing a newborn for extended periods.

👶 For Infants & Newborns (Fourth Trimester & Beyond)

🌬️ Regulating the Nervous System

Birth is a profound experience for a baby—the transition from the womb to the outside world can be overwhelming for the nervous system. BCST helps babies settle, sleep better, and cry less by supporting a state of deep ease and safety. It works wonders for highly sensitive, colicky, or unsettled babies who struggle with transitions, feeding, or sleep. BCST can also help with frequent waking, difficulty self-soothing, and over-stimulation.

🌀 Releasing Birth Trauma & Tension

Even in a smooth birth, babies can experience cranial compression and body strain from contractions, the birth canal, or medical interventions. BCST gently releases restrictions in the head, neck, and spine, supporting a baby’s natural alignment and comfort. BCST is particularly helpful for babies born via C-section, vacuum extraction, forceps, or fast/long labours.

🍼 Easing Digestive & Feeding Challenges

Many newborns experience gas, reflux, latching difficulties, and tongue-tie restrictions due to cranial and nervous system imbalances. BCST supports the vagus nerve, which plays a crucial role in digestion and swallowing. It also helps ease torticollis and head-turning preferences, improving breastfeeding and bottle-feeding experiences.
