-Written by Cherry Cheung(RCST UK) We often think of the brain as the body's command centre — the place where we think, make decisions, process emotions and respond to the world around us. Yet, there is another remarkable part of our body that plays an important role in how we feel and function every day: our gut. Often described as our “second brain”, the enteric nervous system (ENS) is an extensive network of nerve cells woven throughout our digestive tract. It can regulate

-Written by Cherry Cheung Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling in your stomach when something doesn't feel right? Or butterflies in your belly when you feel excited or nervous? Our abdomen is remarkably sensitive to our emotional state. For many of us, it is one of the first places where we notice stress, unease or a sense of relief. Dr Stephen Porges, who developed Polyvagal Theory, introduced the concept of neuroception — the nervous system's unconscious process o

-Written by Cherry Cheung(RCST) Dr William Emerson, PhD, is a pioneer in pre- and perinatal psychology who has spent many years exploring the experiences of babies before and around birth. Through his clinical work with infants and families, he has drawn attention to the possibility that the loss of a twin may be more common than we realise. Some theories suggest that many pregnancies may begin with more than one baby, although not every pregnancy develops into the birth of t

-Written by Cherry Cheung(RCST) Birth can be an extraordinary journey — but for some babies, it can also be a challenging one. Sometimes a baby may spend a long time making their way through the birth canal. During a difficult or prolonged labour, the baby's delicate body is surrounded by powerful forces: the contractions of the uterus, the pressure of the surrounding tissues, and the natural movements involved in being born. For a tiny body, this can be an intense experience

-Written by Cherry Cheung(RCST) Birth is one of the biggest transitions we experience in life. For a newborn baby, the journey from the warmth and safety of the womb into the outside world can be both beautiful and intense. Birth trauma refers to stressful or difficult experiences that a baby may encounter during labour and birth. These experiences can sometimes have an impact on a baby’s physical and emotional wellbeing. CranioSacral term ''Umbilical cord shock'' Imagine a b

-Written by Cherry Cheung(RCST) One of the most healing things we can offer a baby is what many practitioners call Loving Presence — being calmly and fully present with warmth, care, and genuine attention. In my own work with babies and families, I often feel how deeply babies respond to the quality of presence around them. They are incredibly sensitive to tone, touch, emotion, and connection. Here are a few gentle ways parents, carers, and practitioners can nurture this conn

-Written by Cherry Cheung(RCST) For many years, traditional medicine largely believed that babies had very little awareness or memory in early life. Yet growing research and clinical understanding now suggest something quite different — that even before birth, babies are deeply sensitive, aware, and responsive beings. Within the womb, a baby is not simply growing passively. They are already experiencing, sensing, and relating to the world around them. They can feel comfort an
