CranioSacral Therapy (CST)

 CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on bodywork modality that focuses on relieving tension in the central nervous system. It targets restrictions in the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord—to promote physical and emotional healing.

It uses a light touch (typically no more than the weight of a nickel) to tune into the body's subtle rhythms and encourages the release of tightness and imbalances in the tissues. During the session, you are fully clothed and comfortably lying down as I place my hands on various points of the body (head, neck, spine, pelvis) and facilitate subtle releases. Clients often report feeling deeply relaxed, emotional release, internal shifts. 

Releasing these restrictions, often caused by stress, injury, or trauma, has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety. CST is increasingly used as a preventive approach to health and wellness as it strengthens the body’s resilience and capacity to self-regulate, making it a valuable tool not only for healing but also for maintaining long-term balance. CST has shown benefits for individuals dealing with a variety of health concerns and symptoms, including but not limited to:
