CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the craniosacral system: the membranes, connective tissues, and flow of cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. When tension builds within this system, it can affect the whole body.
How is CST performed?
Using light touch, I listen to the rhythms and patterns within your tissues. This helps me feel where the body is holding restriction, strain, or imbalance. From there, I gently support the body to release what it’s ready to let go of. CST never forces. It allows.
Sessions are quiet and deeply calming. You remain fully clothed. As the body unwinds, clients often feel a sense of spaciousness, clarity, or deep relaxation. Some experience emotional release, others feel physical tension dissolve. Every session is unique.
My Intuitive Approach
What makes my Craniosacral Therapy sessions unique is the way I incorporate my natural intuition into my work. During a session, I may physically sense areas of discomfort, tension or emotional overwhelm in my own body. These sensations can offer me insight into what my client may be experiencing and help guide my approach. I allow my intuition to work alongside my Craniosacral Therapy training, responding to what I sense while respecting each person's individual needs and boundaries. At times, I also incorporate crystals into my healing sessions when I feel they may be a helpful addition and the client is open to them. Every session is different. I take the time to listen, both to your body and to what you share with me, allowing the session to unfold naturally. My intention is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can feel supported as we work together towards greater comfort and wellbeing.
How does CST work?
The craniosacral system in which the central nervous system functions, consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, extending from the bones of the skull, face and mouth down to the tailbone. CST works on the understanding that imbalance or dysfunction of this system can adversely affect the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord and contribute to sensory, motor and/or neurological disabilities.
CST can alleviate a range of conditions including:
Neck and Back Pain
Headaches and Migraines
Stress and Anxiety
Digestive Disorders
Central Nervous System Disorders
Traumatic Injuries
Contraindications include conditions where a variable or slight increase in intracranial pressure could cause instability.
The extremely light touch involoved with CST makes it a safe approach for people of all ages, including newborns.
What matters most is not the technique, but how your body responds. When given the right conditions, the body naturally moves toward balance.
