What is CranioSacral Therapy?

It is perceptual work that enables more open conversations between body & mind.  I utilize hands-on gentle holds to encourage the body to activate it's natural alignment. We access & adjust the Neuroendocrine responses through the interactions with the Dura Mater, cranial bones & fluid body.With stress contributing to 90 % of all dysfunction in the human body, it is vital to keep your nervous system strong and resilient. CranioSacral opens the door to allow an easy balance into your thinking & experience of your body

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that utilizes the fluids surrounding the brain and central nervous system as a therapeutic tool to facilitate healing. The therapist uses gentle sustained contact applied in a very precise manner to redistribute fluid within the body and resolve imbalances in physical structure and function. Cranial work is one of the most highly refined approaches to bodywork and may be effective in situations where no other type of medical or natural intervention has helped. 

Quiet and relaxing, inducing restful sleep, it’s been labeled mysterious. In reality, craniosacral therapy addresses a rhythmic system at the core of our physiology – the pulse of energy that flows between our head and pelvic area. It’s as essential, measurable, and tangible as our breath and heart rate. The craniosacral system follows a rhythm, and the skull bones accommodate its pulse. Just as a cardiologist seeks to improve the cardiovascular system, a craniosacral practitioner evaluates and optimizes the pulse of the craniosacral rhythm. This is a gentle, often deeply intuitive technique. “It’s a form of bodywork consisting of exceedingly light finger and hand pressure upon the cranial bones and the sacrum, and upon the involuntary movements of these bones,” says Dr. Milne.
