Cori Escalante

Certified Massage Therapist, Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapist

Background

Pediatric focused practitioner supporting babies, children, and families through a gentle approach. Specializing in regulation, tension release, and nervous system support, with a warm, grounded style that meets each child where they are. Offers individualized sessions tailored to the unique needs of infants and caregivers. I believe babies and children communicate through their bodies, behaviors, and emotions long before they have words. My approach is gentle and attuned, with a focus on supporting relaxation, comforting tension in the body, and regulating the nervous system. I aim to create a calm, supportive space where both children and caregivers feel seen, heard, and supported.
