What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is truly holistic, recognising that the mental, emotional and physical levels of the body all form an integrated whole. Craniosacral Therapy supports your body's innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to reduce stress and helping to build your core energy.

Born from Osteopathy, Craniosacral Therapy uses a gentle touch to assist the body’s own potential to heal and release restrictions and stresses.

During your first session I will take a written case history, listening with care to the reasons for your visit. This part of the session is important to gather information and establish a good working dialogue between us.

Sessions typically last an hour, although this can vary.

You remain fully clothed and lay face up, but this position can be adapted to suit your particular needs.

I will make light contact with your head, shoulders and the base of your spine and other appropriate areas, allowing you to lie comfortably and relax.

I will listen attentively to the subtle rhythmic movements within your body; these can be felt as gentle pulsations or waves flowing throughout your body. The body has points where "traffic" whether emotional or physical can built up and is unable to flow freely. 

By acknowledging these "traffic hotspots" and your natural rhythms, I can help support your body's innate ability for clearing these "traffic" jams in turn, assisting with self-healing and rebalancing.

No two sessions are the same, so after your session you may feel deeply relaxed, sleepy or energised.
