What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Welcome.
Craniosacral therapy can provide relief from chronic pain and fascial restrictions, and helps regulate the nervous system.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has its roots in osteopathy and is centered on the connection between the cranium and the sacrum via the spinal cord. It is a gentle, hands-on approach to identifying and releasing restrictions in the body’s fascial system by paying attention to the slight fluctuations in the fluids that surround the central nervous system. By using light hand placement on parts of the body, soft tissues soften and relax, the nervous system becomes regulated, and support is provided for the body’s natural process of self-correction and self-healing. Clients tend to find it profoundly relaxing and can even notice results that go well beyond physical changes; since the fascial system encompasses the entirety of the body’s structures, including the organs, muscles, brain and spinal cord, CST brings focus to the idea that “everything is connected”.
In my practice, Craniosacral work is often the hands-on pathway in to "seeing and hearing" your body's overall functioning, allowing me to assess efficiently . From there, further bodywork techniques and/or somatic techniques can be integrated for deeper release and long-lasting changes in all the body's systems. This bodywork is done on a massage table, and is done fully clothed.
