About Us
One Certified Orthotist. Every Visit.
Cranial Kids is a small cranial remolding orthotics practice in Colorado Springs, led by Kristen Thessing, CPO — a mom of four who fits every helmet herself. Consultations are always free, and if your baby's head shape is correcting on its own, we will tell you so.

Why Families Choose Cranial Kids
- 01
Kristen fits every helmet herself
You see the same certified orthotist at the consultation, the scan, the fitting, and every adjustment — never a rotating staff.
- 02
We come to you
Home, daycare, the pediatrician's office, or a physical therapy appointment — we meet families where they already are.

Radiation-free 3D scanning
STARscanner and SmartSoc capture the head shape in seconds, with no X-rays, no sedation, and no plaster casting.

A mom of four in the room

What Our Customers Say
“Sample review — replace with a real parent's words. Kristen explained every option before we committed to a helmet, and never once made us feel rushed.”
“Sample review — replace with a real parent's words. She met us at our physical therapy appointment so we did not have to add another drive to the week.”
“Sample review — replace with a real parent's words. The scan took seconds, and by the follow-up we could already see the difference in our son's head shape.”
