Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for all ages, including new-born babies and the most frail. I practise a style of craniosacral therapy known as Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy originated as a part of Osteopathy, but Craniosacral Therapy is non-manipulative and this gentle and profound treatment is now a specialist area. Treatment is fully clothed while the therapist gently holds your head or sacrum (or sometimes a specific body part). This is to ‘listen’ to fluid movements within your body, which express like a tide, almost as a separate expression of breathing within us. We sometimes refer to this as Primary Respiration. Primary Respiration is considered to be the movement of health, wholeness and well-being in the human body, as it seems to be the force that organises and re-creates us in each moment.

Is it suitable for babies?
Many people have heard of the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy for babies and children. The  effects of birth can result in colic, sucking problems, breathing difficulties, restlessness, irritability and more. Young systems process such difficulties remarkably quickly - (it is we older models that can take a little longer!) This is a non-verbal language that they respond to wonderfully well.

Why Biodynamic?
The word biodynamic derives from the study of embryology and refers to the forces in the fluids that shape the embryo. In a Biodynamic approach we orient the body to a place of stillness and balance to release held forces that can lead to discomfort or dis-ease, in a gentle and safe manner, following only the direction, the timing and the needs of your body, helping it to seek its own path to health.

What does it feel like?
Of course it is different for everybody. Some people feel tingling or movement. But Craniosacral Therapy is often experienced as deep relaxation, even like a meditative state.
