Yes!! Melissa is trained in a number of modalities that can help your bub find the right position for them. Most breech babies will find their way head down when given the time & space. Melissa works with you from a bio-psycho-spiritual perspective meaning, she helps to unravel the layers as to why your bub may be breech..is it nervous system related? emotional? physical: pelvic alignment, tension in certain areas that are holding baby back?
Yes, Spinal Flow is a wonderful modality that works on helping babies nervous systems and bodies find balance again. Spinal flow improves the communication pathways along the spine and therefore to the rest of the body which in-turn allows tension to dissolve. All babies can benefit from spinal flow in particular babies that experienced a more difficult birth or pregnancy.

Spinal flow works on improving the communication pathways along your spine and through your nervous system. By releasing blockages, your body is able to have greater communication with every cell throughout your body which in-turn will allow tension, pain and illness too resolve. Spinal flow re-aligns your spine and pelvis, improving pregnancy pelvic, pubic and hip pain.
Yes, Melissa specialises in assessing and working with tongue and oral ties in the newborn and infant. Melissa combines her IBCLC, spinal Flo wand extended knowledge to create an individual plan for each baby and family she works with to ensure the best course of action is taken. Not all tongue ties need to be released but we must have the tongue working anatomically and physiologically correctly.
