CranioSacral Therapy
The Cranial system is the structural side of the Central Nervous System.
Coating the inside and outside of the brain is a transparent liquid called Cerebrospinal fluid.
This fluid travels down through the brain stem, on through the spine protecting the spinal chord, all the way down to the tail bone. It does this in a subtle, pulsating, rhythmic flow that can be felt throughout the tissues, fluids and energy of the body.
​
Using a very light touch, while the client is lying down, the therapist listens to this cranial rhythm and, in so doing, is able to pick up on and release any restrictions or blockages that might impede its flow, thereby helping the client's body to self-correct.
These restrictions can also be found not only in the physical body, but in a person's emotional energy as well, from residual effects of trauma to suppressed emotions.
​
By helping the body's own natural healing process, CranioSacral has been an effective treatment in many different areas such as:
headaches/migraines, neck and back pain, TMJ, stress and immune related problems, anxiety, concussions, fibromyalgia, sleep patterns, autism, ADD/ADHD, post-traumatic stress and emotional difficulties, to name just a few.
​
I also offer CranioSacral to infants and children.
The sessions are shorter in duration and can help release birth traumas that can occur during either a natural birth or in those where a vacuum, forceps or a C-section were needed or used.
It can also help in the overall calmness and integration of a child, from one with sleeping, feeding, or other infant issues, to children with autism.
Having two young children myself, I have seen the benefits of CranioSacral first hand.
