The way they arch away from the breast. How their little fists stay clenched. The clicking sound during feeds. The way their head always turns to one side.
Or maybe it’s your toddler waking multiple times a night, unable to settle their body. Or your child going through expansion with a tight jaw, frequent headaches, and their whole posture pulled inward.
Babies and children can't tell us what’s feeling “off.”
But their bodies show us.
Your body holds an inner knowing that guides feeding, breathing, movement, posture, digestion, and growth. When symptoms arise, they often signal that your system is holding tension. Our role is to listen closely and gently release what’s being held so the body can return to what it was designed to do.
I'd done the research. I'd read the books. I trusted my body and believed my instincts would guide me through. But nothing could have prepared me to not feel heard by those who claimed to know best.
I built Nectar and Nurture for mothers just like me. The ones who researched everything, trusted their bodies, and still found themselves struggling.
Our work is gentle, nervous-system centered, and rooted in deep respect for both your child's body and your intuition as their mother. We help feeding feel less like a fight, sleep feel more settled, movement feel more free, and mothers feel more steady in their own knowing.
Your intuition brought you here, and it was right.
When my daughter was born six weeks early, I thought I was prepared.

HOW IT WORKS
Our bodies carry tension from birth, growth, and the demands of everyday life. When that tension builds, it shapes how we feed, sleep, breathe, and move—often in ways we can feel but can't quite name. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) use light touch to release what the body is holding.
With gentle hands-on movements, we soften tension to create a foundation for freedom in the body.

HOW IT WORKS
She helped me through nursing struggles with my second baby, and was the reason I began looking into our family’s airway health... Amanda looks at the whole equation, not just one isolated issue. Not to mention, there was a lot of emotion tied into all of this and Amanda’s calming presence and regulated nervous system was a huge factor in my baby and I being able to have a successful breastfeeding journey. Highly recommend!
“Amanda changed the trajectory of my family’s health”
At just two weeks postpartum, my baby and I were struggling with lip and tongue ties, and I felt so overwhelmed. She took the time to educate me on what was really going on, explained everything in a way that made sense, and gave me thoughtful recommendations to help increase my milk supply. Her compassion and knowledge brought me so much peace and confidence during such a hard time. I’m forever grateful for her guidance and care.
"Amanda made me feel heard, understood, and cared for."
We went to Amanda when my baby boy was about 1 month old. We were told he had significant tongue tie that needed to be cut. We didn’t feel right about this so we looked into CFT and booked an appointment with Amanda. After only 2 sessions, we were breastfeeding with no pain anymore. She has an incredible gift!! Thanks to Amanda, we never revised his tongue tie and we are now 8 months strong still breastfeeding!! If you’re thinking about an appointment, do it!!
"After only 2 sessions, we were breastfeeding with no pain"
When my daughter was just a few weeks old, I noticed she strongly favored one side of her head and seemed very tight. Amanda's gentle approach helped release the tension, and she quickly regained full range of motion and moved much more comfortably. Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Her nurturing care put both me and my daughter at ease from the very beginning. I'm so grateful for the difference she made and would highly recommend her to any parent seeking support for their little one.
"We saw a remarkable difference in just two visits."
FROM MOTHERS WHO’VE BEEN EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE...
In those first weeks postpartum, leaving the house can feel impossible. So we come to you—supporting both you and your baby as a connected system, because feeding, regulation, and healing happen in relationship.
In-home sessions weave together craniosacral therapy and lactation support for the mother-baby dyad, all at your pace, in your space.
Because the early days are tender. And you shouldn't have to go anywhere to get the support you need.
That’s what this work has always been about.
Mothers holding mothers.

We've navigated feeding struggles, sleepless nights, and the knowing that something isn't right—and we know how much it matters to finally feel held. That's why we pour that same steadiness into every family we support.
