What is Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST)?
Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) is a profound, non-invasive healing modality that uses gentle touch to help release stress and tension from mind and body, calm and restore the nervous system, and bring about an overall sense of harmony and well-being in one's life.

About Me
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 have recently completed training in two postgraduate courses: 1) Trauma & 2) Distant Cranio-Sacral Integration (DCSI).
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 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.
Why TouchTones ?
The name came to me one day towards the end of my training, and it felt as though it was beamed in from the cosmos. I have always been into music and I play the drums, guitar, piano and handpan. I've recently started learning more about frequency, resonance and harmonics, and I'm starting to explore implementing sound in future to assist in harmonizing the tonal qualities and rhythms within clients' bodies. When we hear a beautiful piece of music, it touches us deeply, right? So, the name TouchTones felt like the perfect description for what inspires me and comes through me in the therapeutic space.
Approach
Using the core principles of my training in CST, together with mindfulness/meditation, Qi Gong, and various other modalities, my approach is to address the whole person and to tune into their innate wellness. 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.
