Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy

*Please note: Craniosacral Therapy is not a massage. It does not involve manual manipulation of muscle tissue. Contact us directly to book your Craniosacral Therapy treatment.

Modern day craniosacral therapies evolved from traditional osteopathy - holistic medicine's manual practice, and philosophy for health.

This approach gently interfaces with the craniosacral system (our midline structures) and primary respiration (our inherent life force energy and self-healing mechanism).

When these levels of our being become compromised (from stress, accidents, and injuries) disharmony can result in the form of symptoms or dis-ease.

Your practitioner is skilled in a wide variety of methods including mechanical, functional, and biodynamic.

What to expect

A craniosacral approach to healing can be a relaxing and fortifying experience.

These sessions generally support one's personal evolution, which is very individual. Often it encompasses our health, but also may include aspects like our connection and direction in life.  

Craniosacral Therapy is received with clothing on, so please wear something comfortable, stretchy, or loose-fitting. Upon arrival, your practitioner will discuss with you what brings you in, and help you orient further to the overall experience.

Hands are gently placed on the body and sometimes held for long durations. Contacts are generally placed at the heels, head, and underneath the pelvis, but may include other places on the body as well.

*Most sessions average about 45 minutes on the table, allowing plenty of time to transition.

Benefits

Typically, a variety of common conditions (physical, mental or emotional) prompt many to seek this approach as an effective form of symptom relief.

This work is also well received by those who feel perfectly healthy; as a meditative or calming experience, it can be helpful in the return of mental clarity and abundant energy. In this way, the work can also be a deeply personal or spiritual experience.

Additionally, this approach is especially beneficial in certain cases of severe injury, trauma or impairment, particularly when other treatment methods have become either too taxing or unproductive.

These sessions support the environment for the power that made the body to heal the body.
