Biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST) is a gentle, light-touch, non-invasive therapy that helps restore and maintain health in the body. It has its roots in osteopathy and has evolved to include advances in neuroscience, human development, pre and perinatal psychology, and trauma resolution. Practitioners are trained to facilitate the resolution of conditions resulting from stress, overwhelm, and injury.

During a session, you rest fully clothed on a comfortable massage table. The guiding principle for a session is that your body is always moving toward health. Through a light touch, I will listen for any compensatory patterns that may be present, and assist your body in accessing its own healing capacities.

Craniosacral Therapy with its gentle hands-on approach works by listening deeply to the body’s subtle rhythms and supporting its natural ability to find balance, release tension, and restore health. While sessions often bring structural improvements — like easing pain or headaches — the effects often also extend into emotional wellbeing, mental clarity and overall resilience.

Our bodies are constantly working to stay balanced. This process happens without us needing to think about it — it is built into our physiology. When things are functioning well our systems regulate themselves and quietly get on with the job of keeping us healthy. One of the most vital shifts the body makes is between action and rest. But in the modern world this balance is often disrupted. Constant stimulation, stress and environmental factors can all take a toll on our ability to recover and restore.

Craniosacral therapy supports the body’s natural capacity to regulate and heal. It works with the deep rhythms that underlie all our essential functions. Therapists are trained to detect these very subtle movements within the body — motions even finer than the heartbeat or breath. By gently placing my hands at key areas, I can support the body in letting go of patterns of strain or held stress. This allows for realignment and greater ease throughout the system.

This approach is grounded in anatomical knowledge, quiet presence, and careful attention to what the body is expressing in the moment.

People seek Craniosacral Therapy for a variety of reasons — some come with acute symptoms like migraines or tension, others with longstanding issues, whether physical or emotional. Many also choose it as a regular part of maintaining wellbeing. Because the touch is light and non-invasive Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for all ages — from newborns to the elderly.

Each session is tailored to the individual. During a session, I will take a detailed case history and attentively listen to the reasons for your visit. You remain fully clothed, lying or sitting comfortably while I work with your  body’s natural rhythms. You may feel warmth, pulsing, a gentle unwinding or simply a deep sense of calm. Over time many people find that the sense of stillness they experience in sessions becomes easier to access in daily life.

Also, clients often notice that tension eases, the nervous system settles, and there is a renewed sense of space and energy — physically, emotionally, and mentally. The therapy helps strengthen the body’s resources and invites a natural shift toward healthier patterns.

Whether you are experiencing acute physical problems like headaches back problems or another painful condition, dealing with long-standing physical and emotional challenges or seeking ongoing support - craniosacral therapy may be a good choice and able to support you.
