Children & babies
Care for infants and children begins with a $300 initial visit, with follow-ups at $180 to $250 per hour. Pediatric sessions use age-appropriate craniosacral and supportive techniques tailored to each child, working at the gentle pace that little ones need.
Home visits in New York City
When coming to the office is not practical, in-home visits within New York City are available by arrangement at $600 plus travel time. Because home visits require additional planning, they are confirmed directly with the office so the timing works for everyone.
Rates are for the visit types described above and are subject to change; please confirm the current fee for your situation when you book. Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, complementary therapy — it does not diagnose, cure, or replace medical care, and individual results vary. If you have a medical concern, please consult your physician.
What can be part of your session
Your fee covers a single, focused appointment rather than a per-technique charge. Within that visit, Dr. Kaminsky may draw on several gentle, hands-on methods, choosing the combination that best fits your comfort and goals. Nothing is forced and there is no cracking — the work is light-touch throughout.
- Craniosacral Therapy — the core gentle, hands-on method.
- Myofascial Release — soft-tissue work to ease restriction.
- Somato Emotional Release (SER) — addressing physical patterns tied to held stress.
- Vagus Nerve Toning — supporting calm, balanced nervous-system function.
- Lymphatic Drainage — gentle support for fluid movement.
- Other gentle, supportive methods as appropriate.
Which methods are used, and for how long, depends on what your body needs that day. To see how a session is structured, read about the first visit and the follow-up session.
Craniosacral Therapy is complementary care and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. For infants and children, if you notice warning signs such as a high fever, persistent vomiting, breathing difficulty, or symptoms following a head injury, seek prompt evaluation from a physician before or alongside any complementary care.
