Craniosacral Therapy
“Craniosacral Therapy is both a medical system with precise anatomical criteria and a therapeutic art requiring the practitioner to feel, interpret and move energy… This is soul work.” -Healing Hands Training-
What is Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that is approached both manually and energetically. It is a complimentary healing modality that brings the body into a deep state of relaxation and restoration which supports the release of tension, stress and trauma that has been stored in the body.
Using soft touch, generally no greater than 5 grams of pressure, practitioners access the deep layers of the body where they encourage the release of any stored tension and restriction. This restores function to the central nervous system. The Central Nervous System governs all the physiological systems and functions of our body.
The body’s craniosacral system consists of the bones, nerves, connective tissues (fascia) membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the cranium (skull, face and mouth) down to the sacrum (tailbone area). Any restrictions in this vital system can directly impact all aspects of central nervous system performance.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, Craniosacral Therapy is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to strengthen resistance to disease while enhancing overall health and well-being.

Somato Emotional Release
SomatoEmotional release (SER) expands on the principles of CST while bringing an increased awareness of the inner self. This is a holistic mind-body connection approach that combines subtle bodywork with dialogue to assist in the process of releasing negative imprints that have been embedded in the tissue. During a CST/SER session it is common for an awareness or image of passed traumas to surface.
This healing process is a journey that takes us even deeper into ourselves. Sometimes it involves discovering old patterns or injuries that we thought were no longer affecting us. While we cannot change the past, we can change the emotional charge and energetic hold the past continues to have on us.
What will a Cranoisacral Therapy Session look like?
A typical Craniosacral Therapy session will last about 60-90 minutes. Sessions take place in a quiet room where the client remains fully clothed and relaxed laying face up on a comfortable massage table.
We begin the session with a short body scan meditation. This allows time for you to settle into your space and sink into the sensations of your body. Your nervous system begins to unwind, and you may start to feel a sense of relaxation and a greater sense of body-mind connection. The session involves deep listening and a silent conversation between the innate intelligence of your body and the practitioners. Old holding patterns are recognized and given the space and release as the body reorganizes back to its natural rhythm. Following with gentle light touch, I evaluate your cranial rhythm by using my hands to “listen” and monitor the rhythm of your cerebral spinal fluid. I am locating areas of weak flow or tissue tension and or restriction caused by physical or emotional trauma. I then trace those areas of weakness throughout the body back to the original source of dysfunction. While using delicate manual techniques, we work in silence and may also incorporate subtle verbal dialoguing with the body (Somato Emotional Release).
Depending on what we are working on, you may benefit from multiple consecutive treatments, or only a few maintenance sessions throughout the year. We will work together to determine what is best for you.
It is recommended to rest and relax after a session so that the body has time for integration.
