Frequently Asked Questions

---

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. Occassionally, and only once there is a deep sense of trust between the client and myself, treatment may call for intra-oral work or a stronger contact (e.g. fascial unwinding), and in some cases (e.g. disability, pregnancy) clients may need to be treated sitting down or lying on their side. 

Generally, clients report feeling much more relaxed, clearer, and grounded after a treatment. Many mention sleeping better and more able to face life's daily challenges with greater equanimity, focus and calmness. Another huge benefit of Cranio-Sacral Therapy is that, much like an embodied form of meditation, it enables people to tap into their innate peace and joy, which sadly often gets covered over or overlooked by the busy-ness and complexities of daily life, with all its emotional ups and downs, stresses and difficulties. 

A regular treatment lasts for 1 hour. The initial consultation/introductory session usually lasts around 75 minutes.  I also offer 90 minute sessions if you want to relax more deeply.

It usually takes around 5 - 7 sessions to really feel a significant difference, although most people feel a shift in their well-being almost immediately. It's recommended to come regularly to begin with - weekly or every 2 weeks - in order to build up a rapport/connection with me and to allow your body to acclimate to the healing taking place. Later on, you can opt to come once a month or whenever you need a deep relax and tune-up. 

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is never a replacement for your normal healthcare provider. It can be an extremely supportive and powerful aid in your healing and recovery alongside regular medical intervention. Due to its gentle yet profound effects, it can most certainly help to alleviate many of the symptoms of chronic disease by promoting the overall health of your system. 

Because of its gentle, calming, and non-invasive nature, Cranio-Sacral Therapy can be used for anyone: babies, expectant mothers, the elderly, children and adults alike. It can even be used to treat animals.
