Sessions

Sessions usually last between 50 minutes and one hour. My treatment room has filtered air, and can be modified for the comfort of the client, which is crucial. I primarily use CranioSacral technique (CST). CST is a light touch modality which works with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the fluid bathing the brain and spinal cord via a hydraulic pump system. This fluid flow can be impeded by stress as a result of past trauma of any degree that the body still acknowledges as present. Through listening touch, restrictions in the system can be assessed while simultaneously accessing the body’s inherent self-corrective mechanism or inner wisdom.

CranioSacral Therapy works directly with the autonomic nervous system using specific hand placements, or “holds” which target the soft tissues and CSF surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Working with the body in this way may help the client come into a deeply relaxed state. From this ‘melted’ state, in a safe space where emotion is welcome, restrictions and deep holding patterns in the body can soften, unwind and release. The nervous system is then able to “re-set”, as a rhythmical fluid flow is restored

These sessions can be a potent complement to psychotherapy, trauma resolution therapy, or any other healing modality.
