From Colic to Cooing - Ayden's Story

Three weeks after I had my little boy, Ayden, things started to get really hard. He was projectile vomiting, having diarrhea, and was crying all day and night; sometimes for more than three hours at a time. Naturally, I took him to his pediatrician where they told me that he just had colic and it would go away in a couple of weeks. I remember going into stores where people would come up to me and tell me that my baby was in pain. His cries were piercing and I was at my wit’s end. I didn’t have time to eat, take a shower, or do anything really! I was a client of Judith’s and I remembered her saying that she worked with babies to release any birth trauma they may have had. So I took Ayden to see her for three sessions.

After the first session, I could see a drastic improvement. Ayden would actually sit there and look around without crying if we put him down and he also started sleeping better. After the third session, it seemed like he was a new baby that will smile and coo.

No one really knows what causes colic is or how long it will last. I couldn’t imagine letting Ayden be in pain for any longer and she cured him! I became a client because a massage therapist recommended that I should see Judith. My neck had hurt all my life. I remember telling my father when I was four that my neck hurt. After only a couple of sessions my neck didn’t hurt anymore. Whenever I leave the office after a treatment, I just feel like singing. Judith has this calming way about her, she is amazing!
