Craniosacral Therapy

What is it? CST is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that offers support to the physical and emotional body by intently tuning into the holding patterns of the head, spinal column, and sacrum. 

What to expect

In these sessions, our therapists communicate with your body to help re-establish healthy movement in the bones and cerebrospinal fluid. This practice is a non-invasive form of bodywork. Using the weight of a nickel the therapist holds various areas on the body and tunes into the subtle rhythm of the fluid within the system. (yes, we can feel that!)  Although each client will experience CST differently it is common that we hear that craniosacral therapy is "deeply relaxing" as well as feelings of being "deeply nurtured" and "floaty". 

Our View

Our own interpretation of CST is when the practitioner and the client both tune into the body's current state of being, and as we support the nervous system (the two ends of the spinal column), it allows the client to come back into their body's innate well-being. As we say often in our practice, "we can not heal when we are in analytical mode." Craniosacral Therapy allows the body to achieve a "no-mind" state, offering peace, quiet, and presence to both, receiver and practitioner.  Simply allowing the body to rest in this way may offer profound shifts in the physical, mental, and emotional being.
