What is Craniosacral?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch approach that can facilitate significant improvements in your well-being, by working with your body’s innate wisdom for self correction and healing. CST releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, and improve whole-body health, performance and ease.

Your body endures and absorbs stresses, illness, impactions, surgeries, daily strains. Over time, the body can only handle so much; depleted tissues negatively impact the brain and spinal cord, the components of the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS controls all of the body’s operations and systems. CST works directly with the central nervous system to improve brain, spinal cord and brain membrane functioning.

What conditions can it help? why Is it safe for children and Infants?

CST has been shown to help people with a full spectrum of pain and dysfunctions, including:

  • Chronic neck and back pain

  • Poor posture & scoliosis

  • TMJ Syndrome/ dental work

  • Central Nervous System disorders

  • Stress & tension related disoders

  • Anxiety

  • Migraines and Headaches

  • Post concussions and TBI symptoms

  • Long covid symptoms

  • Post surgery care

The birth process can sometimes generate nervous system and tissue stressors. CST ‘s gentle, light touch makes it safe for newborns, infants, toddlers and children. CST has been known to benefit:

  • Torticollis/ head to one side

  • Flat head/ plagiocephaly

  • Colic/gut issues

  • Feeding issues

  • Chronic ear infections

  • Aid in pre & post procedure-frenectomy & tongue tie

  • mobility concerns

  • orthodontia

what can i expect in a session?

You are clothed, and resting on a padded table. Babies may be on the table or in your arms. Using a gentle, light touch, I evaluate the body’s strain patterns, and then release any restrictions noted- freeing up the CNS to perform at its best and thereby enhancing performance of the entire body. Response to CST varies, yet generally you will feel deeply relaxed and more spacious and mobile in your body, and improved posture. Infant responses vary also - from sleep to alertness; silent or vocal. I check in on you or your baby within 48 hours after a session.
