HOLISTIC BODYWORK THERAPY FOR TODDLERS IN DALLAS, TX
Whole-body support for toddlers who won't sleep, can't regulate, and whose bodies you know are holding something more
For the mothers who have tried everything, from sleep training to reward charts, and still feel in their gut that something physical is going on.
You can see how uncomfortable they are.
The nights are long. Their little bodies fight to sleep even when they're exhausted. The meltdowns come out of nowhere and seem too big for their body to hold. You're not dealing with a difficult child. You're watching a child whose nervous system is overwhelmed and doesn't know how to regulate.
But you know your child. And something in you knows there's more to this.
WHAT'S HAPPENING BENEATH THE SURFACE
What looks like a sleep struggle or a regulation challenge is often the body asking for support.
When tension builds in a toddler's body from birth, growth, falls, or simply the way they've had to adapt, it doesn't stay in one place. It shapes how they sleep, how they regulate, how they move, and how they eat.
Holistic bodywork therapy releases those tension patterns so the body has space to function the way it was designed to—settled, open, and free.
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."

What holistic bodywork therapy for toddlers looks like
We always follow your child's lead. We meet them on the floor, in your lap, or moving around the room—wherever they feel most at ease. There's no need to keep them still, calm, or cooperative. We work with movement, play, and whatever feels safe for your child. You will stay close the entire time, and we'll talk through what we're noticing and answer every question you have.

Craniosacral therapy uses light touch and gentle movements to restore freedom in the body.
how it works
Your toddler's nervous system has been working overtime. Their body is carrying tension that's been building since birth, and it's showing up in how they sleep, how they feel, and how they move through the world. We support them in releasing what's been held, so their body can find its way back to ease.
When the body feels safe, posture opens, breath deepens, and everything begins to settle—naturally, and at their own pace.
When tension releases, your toddler’s nervous system finds the safety it’s been searching for
Your toddler sleeps more soundly, their body no longer fighting to find rest. Movement feels freer. Eating becomes easier. And you watch your child return to the playful, carefree version of themselves you always knew was in there.
Holistic bodywork therapy may be right for your toddler if…
You sense it's something physical, not behavioral—and you're exhausted from being told they'll just grow out of it.
Your toddler’s sleep has fallen apart.
In how they move, how they carry themselves, how they react. You see it even when no one else does.
You can feel the tension in their body.
The meltdowns come out of nowhere and feel unmanageable. You know there's more to it than just toddlerhood.
The big emotions feel too big.
You want care that looks at the whole picture, not something that just manages the behavior.
You want root-cause support.
Frequently Asked
Questions
Sleep disruption, snoring, big emotions, sensory-seeking behaviors, movement and coordination challenges, mouth breathing, picky eating, constipation, and tension patterns that are showing up in daily life.
What issues do you support in toddlers?
Every body is different. Some families notice shifts after the first few sessions. Others benefit from ongoing support over a few months. We'll talk through what feels right during your first visit and never pressure you into more than you need.
How many holistic bodywork sessions will we need?
Craniosacral therapy addresses the nervous system and fascial tension underlying movement and regulation patterns. It works beautifully alongside OT and PT, and we're always happy to collaborate with your other providers.
Is this different from occupational therapy or physical therapy?
We never force. If your child isn't ready, we pause, adjust, and shift our approach entirely. Maybe that means you getting on the table and receiving care instead. This work only happens when the body feels safe enough to receive it.
What if my toddler resists or doesn't want to participate?
Even the most overwhelmed bodies can find their way back to ease. We'll help your toddler get there too.
