After taking an initial medical history, I will ask you to lie down, usually on your back, fully clothed on the treatment couch. I will then gently take up contact with various parts of your body, most commonly involving the head, chest, abdomen, sacrum and feet.
Generally, clients report feeling more relaxed, clearer, and grounded after a treatment. Many people mention sleeping better and more able to face life's daily challenges with greater equanimity, focus and calmness.
A regular treatment lasts for 1 hour. The initial consultation/introductory session lasts about 75 minutes.
It tends to depend on the person (everyone is unique). Some people come for a couple of treatments and that's enough for them. Others love how it makes them feel and keep coming every now and then to unwind and de-stress. Some clients may feel they require more long-term support, especially if they're recovering from a serious injury or illness.
Craniosacral Therapy does not claim to cure chronic illness and it is never a replacement for your normal healthcare provider. It can be a supportive and effective aid in your healing and recovery alongside regular medical intervention. Due to its soothing and calming effects, it can help to alleviate some of the discomfort you may be experiencing and support your body and mind in relaxing.
Because of its gentle, calming, and non-invasive nature, Craniosacral Therapy can be supportive for anyone, regardless of age or mobility. Some parents find out about Craniosacral Therapy through friends and family who have recommended it due to their own successful experience in helping calm their babies.
Sessions are usually held over Zoom and, much like the in-person ones, we begin with an introductory session of @75 mins to carry out a consultation, followed by an initial treatment. Due to not being physically present, I tend to focus more at the start of a treatment on allowing your system to settle - sometimes taking the form of a guided meditation - before I start engaging with your energetic field. I use similar hand positioning and holds as in a regular CST session. However, I often simply allow my hands to be moved by the energies in and around your field while my loving intention towards what your system needs helps to move, release, and integrate whatever requires healing.
