What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is a hands on therapy originally developed from cranial osteopathy by John Upledger in the 1970s. Firmly based in sound anatomical knowledge it uses a gentle relaxing touch to facilitate self-healing. Each individuals story, from conception to the present time, patterns itself in the tissue and fluids of the body. Through touch the practitioner listens deeply to this patterning both physically and emotionally and helps release what is not longer useful and causes pain and disease.

What happens during a session?

At the first session there is comprehensive discussion of your current symptoms, your past medical history and some questions on your general health and well being. You will also be asked what you hope for or expect from treatment.

For treatment, you remain fully clothed and lie on your back on the treatment couch or sit on a chair if lying is difficult and the practitioner gently places their hands on a ‘listening post’. This may be your head, under the sacrum on the shoulders or at the ankles.

Although the treatment is quiet you are welcome to talk about what is happening to you in response to the treatment. You may feel tingling, gentle waves, heat release, or cold as release happens. Sometimes old memories or feelings pop up. Treatment is often deeply relaxing bringing about an enhanced feeling of well-being.

Specific Emphasis

I am interested in the impulse to health and wholeness which underlies all symptoms and disease processes. I am also exploring working with animals as well as with people.

Who is it for?
Because it is such a gentle treatment Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for most people including babies, children and the elderly. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions both physical and emotional.
