Neurodivergent & Sensory Support

With Craniosacral Therapy

Every neurodivergent child experiences and responds to the world in their own way. Autistic children, children with ADHD and those with sensory processing differences may have individual preferences around touch, sound, lighting, movement, communication and unfamiliar environments.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, light-touch complementary therapy. Each appointment is child-led and adapted around your child’s communication, sensory preferences and comfort. They can move, change position, take a break or stop at any time. Nothing is rushed or forced.

Some families choose Craniosacral Therapy to give their child quiet time for relaxation and general wellbeing alongside appropriate healthcare, educational provision and specialist support. Craniosacral Therapy does not diagnose or treat autism, ADHD or sensory processing differences, and individual experiences vary.

A parent or carer remains present throughout the appointment. If your child has a medical condition, unexplained symptoms or is receiving treatment, please discuss this before booking. Craniosacral Therapy should not replace or delay medical, psychological, educational or specialist support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Neurodivergent & Sensory

Can Craniosacral Therapy support neurodivergent children?
Craniosacral Therapy does not treat autism, ADHD or sensory processing differences. Some families choose appointments to provide their child with a calm environment for relaxation and general wellbeing. Every session is adapted to the child’s communication, preferences and comfort alongside any appropriate professional support.
My child struggles with sensory sensitivities. Can sessions be adapted?

Yes. The environment and session can be adapted around your child’s sensory preferences. This may include considering lighting, sound, positioning, communication and whether physical contact feels comfortable. Nothing is rushed or forced.

What if my child finds new situations overwhelming?

The first appointment is relaxed and unhurried. Your child can take time to become familiar with Marissa and the environment before any treatment is considered. Treatment does not have to begin during the first visit, and your child can pause or stop at any time.

Does my child have to lie still throughout the session?
No. Children do not have to remain still or follow a fixed routine. Sessions are adapted to the individual child, and they can change position, move, communicate, take a break or stop whenever needed.
What happens during my child's first appointment?
Your first appointment begins with a relaxed conversation about your child’s needs, preferences and any concerns you may have. Treatment, if appropriate, is always guided by your child’s comfort.
Is Craniosacral Therapy suitable for neurodivergent children?
Suitability depends on the individual child’s health, circumstances and comfort. Craniosacral Therapy uses light contact rather than forceful manipulation, but relevant medical conditions, recent injuries, operations and current care should be discussed before treatment. Medical advice may be recommended where appropriate.
Does Craniosacral Therapy involve manipulation?
No. Craniosacral Therapy does not involve forceful manipulation. It uses a gentle, light-touch approach that is adapted to the child’s age, preferences, sensory needs and comfort.
How many appointments might my child need, and how do I book?
There is no standard number of appointments because every child and family is different. After the first visit, you can decide whether another appointment feels appropriate. You can book online or contact Marissa first to discuss your child’s needs and whether an appointment may be suitable.
