Craniosacral therapy is a gentle yet powerful natural healthcare, suitable for all ages including babies and children.  It can help you find relief for a wide range of conditions.

 

I have experience helping people with :

 

pain and discomfort, such as joint and back pain, headaches, insomnia

general wellbeing and emotional balance

pregnancy, childbirth and children's health

 

Conception is the beginning of new Life.  The first single cell multiplies and specializes very rapidly and every cell in a living body expresses a rhythmic motion during life.  I can feel this craniosacral motion.  

 

Craniosacral therapy developed from the work of an American osteopath, Dr William Sutherland, in the early 1900s. He observed movement in the cranial bones and a rhythmic motion throughout the body.  Therapists feel this motion as a rhythm in the tissues that underlie the cardiac and respiratory rhythms.

 

Through illness, accident, stress and fatigue tissues can contract causing restrictions in the natural craniosacral motion. These strains, tensions and traumas can lead to health problems, however the body's self healing mechanism; the craniosacral system, is activated by my palpation of your tissues. You may experience improvements in physical, intellectual and emotional health as your craniosacral system rebalances and releases the energy held in your body.

 

Most people who experience Craniosacral therapy will tell you that it is extremely pleasant, and gives a deep sense of relaxation.  I use no manipulation, I 'listen' with my hands to what is going on in your body.  You will remain comfortable, in control, and able to integrate the changes that occur. You lie down, fully clothed, with your shoes off. I will place my hands on different parts of your body. Craniosacral therapy is different for everyone. You may feel heat, tingling sensations, gentle pulsing, heaviness or a sense of profound relaxation during the hour-long session.

 

I like to discuss your response to the work with you, to assess any changes.  I may also show you how to improve your breathing and postural habits in order to retain the improvements achieved.  My holistic approach ensures that all treatment is tailored to you as an individual.
