What is Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST)?
Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle yet profound, non-invasive healing modality that uses light touch to feel into and trace the inner landscape of tissues, fluids, organs, bones, muscles, nerves, etc. By engaging deeply and subtly with what the body is ready to reveal, anything that may be restricting the natural flow of health can be detected, and then encouraged to move and dissipate without force or manipulation. CST is therefore very effective at helping release stress and tension from mind and body, calm and regulate the nervous system, and bring about an overall sense of harmony and well-being in one's life.

Training
I am a Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapist (R.C.S.T.) and Integrated Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapist (I.B.C.S.T.), having completed my training at the College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy in London. I am CNHC registered, a member of the Craniosacral Therapy Association, insured through Holistic Insurance Services, and First Aid trained. I first discovered Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) in 2017. It really helped me to feel more calm and present in my body, and, overall, it made such a positive impact on how I saw life that I felt a strong urge to train in it myself and extend what has most benefitted me towards supporting others.
My journey continues within the world of CST and beyond. I have recently completed training in two postgraduate courses:
1) Trauma.
2) Distant Cranio-Sacral Integration (DCSI) 1 & 2.
I am deeply fascinated by this work and I feel increasingly passionate about assisting people at all stages of life so that they can feel whole again: at home in their bodies, relaxed, healthy and vibrant.
Approach
Using the core principles of my training in CST, my approach is to address the whole person and to tune into their body's natural intelligence. It is this that does the healing.
True health is not just the absence of disease or pain. It is our natural state; one of balance, vitality and harmony in body, mind, and spirit. My aim is never to 'fix' anyone. It is always to listen to the client's system and then attend to the root causes of their health issues as guided by that system, rather than just managing symptoms. It is always to empower the client to take an active role in their own healing.
