Craniosacral Therapy for Babies & Mothers

Craniosacral therapy is gentle, non-invasive therapy that is ideal for mothers, babies and young children – which supports you and your baby’s natural healing abilities. I offer sessions to pregnant women, and mothers and babies after birth.

It is highly effective for a range of common issues including:

  • Baby bonding with parents and/or siblings,
  • Difficult births
  • Sleep and feeding issues
  • Colic
  • Reflux
  • Constipation
  • Irritability or difficulty settling
  • Postnatal anxiety and pelvic floor recovery for mother

I have a deep passion for working with, and supporting, mother and baby. I am a mother of three daughters myself, and have worked in nursing, health visiting and as an infant feeding lead, for over 30 years.

Over this time, I have been a constant witness to the healing power of touch, so training in Craniosacral Therapy was a natural progression for me.

My practice offers a calm, supportive and safe space to help mother and baby navigate their unique and growing relationship.

The first session starts with a 30-minute consultation, followed by a 1 hour treatment session.

Please get in touch and I look forward to meeting you!

Kate Leftley’s Offering on Wednesdays 9.30am - 1.30pm

  • Initial Consultation & treatment (90 minutes) - £110
  • Follow-up 60 minute treatment - £79

If you would like to access the Women Supporting Women Fund to subsidise this treatment, find more details here.

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times...

Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate.

But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body.

From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term.

At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for.

Needles in, stress out.

Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm.

Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February.

Wow, a very generous donation from author Sofia Bothwell, a collection of her books focused on how addiction can manifest.

Sofia is holding a workshop, Healing the Eating Habit, at Moon on Saturday 28th February, where she'll explore the underlying causes of overeating, the emotional issues that can cause us to eat when full and the importance of raising self-acceptance.

We'll be learning more about this session in an upcoming Instagram Live (18th Feb), so you can find out more then, as well as via a link in our bio ('What's On in February').

Also, a reminder to check out our library next time you're at Moon.

Wow, wow, wow!

What an amazing response we've had to our plea for donations towards the Women Supporting Women Fund.

Thank you to all these lovely folk who donated in January. Thanks to you, eight women were able to access the support they wanted from Moon Women's Health. 

However, unfortunately the waiting list continues to grow and is three months long at the moment.

Therefore, when you're booking a session at Moon and would like to support your community, please tick the box to add an additional £3 - it all adds up!

You can find more details about the fund, and donate directly via our bio.

Happy Imbolc to you all.

The mid-point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox - with our backs to the cold and our faces in the sun.

Today we honour the Goddess Bridgid, who had so powerful a hold on the celtic imagination, the Catholics had to make her into a Saint. She is a Goddess of fire, healing and birth, who leads us towards Spring.

Enjoy your Sunday 🌱
