Craniosacral Therapy

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a powerful, light touch bodywork that assists the body in unwinding physical strains, traumas, and, emotions. The method has roots in Osteopathy and gently supports the body to naturally heal itself. There is an innate wholeness within all of us. Life leaves imprints in our bodies and sometimes our body needs to be reminded that health lies just beneath the surface of that imprint.

Bringing awareness to your central nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid, and connective tissue Craniosacral Therapy restores health and balance within your body. Craniosacral is an extremely supportive therapy for babies, children, and adults.  

What to expect. . .

During the session, you are fully clothed as I lightly hold different parts of your body. Most often this is at your head, sacrum, or feet, but because the nervous system influences your entire being, I will move to where your body needs support. Generally sessions are silent, however, communication is important as we move through the session. By the end, you may feel more relaxed, rested, and rejuvenated.

For babies and children:
Infants and young babies can be held by a parent during the session or lay on the mat or massage table. Babies often regulate to their mother's nervous system, so sometimes I will track the mother's system and hold Mom at the same time as the baby. For older babies and children that are mobile, I incorporate play into the session and can track subtle changes within their system just by observing. I ask that you refrain from using any tablets or phones during the session, but please feel free to bring your child’s favorite toy, or book.

I have a background as a Pre- and Perinatal Educator with APPPAH (Association of Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health) and I incorporate their research and education into all my sessions with babies and children.
