Craniosacral is a gentle hands-on therapy that helps the body and whole being to realign
itself to its natural healthful state. Using very light touch, bones of the head and sacrum and
areas of the body are subtly shifted to free restrictions. The aim is to release tensions of the
nervous and fascial systems to allow a better craniosacral rhythm leading to better health.
What to expect during a Craniosacral Therapy treatment
Clients find it very relaxing, rejuvenating and balancing. It can be as relaxing as a massage but
with a much lighter touch. Some people feel more open to life, or have specific tissue releases,
or feel more connected with their bodies and emotions. It is a great compliment to other healing
therapies and creates a space that allows for deeper healing to occur.
You will lie face up on a treatment table, fully clothed. Gentle touch of about 5 grams is applied to
various stations (head, neck, torso, pelvis, sacrum and legs) of the body. I will be feeling for the
qualities of the craniosacral rhythm. A still point is induced which allows the body to re-align itself
and produce a healthier rhythm.
During the first visit a ten-step protocol is often used, then tailored for the individual on
subsequent visits.
Please arrive early to complete a new patient intake form or download and fill it out to
