CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle and profound hands-on therapy that support the releasing of pain and tension held within the body. By supporting the nervous system’s natural ability to find health and balance, this approach helps ease discomfort and promotes lasting well-being, addressing the root causes rather than just surface symptoms. In my practice, the conditions typically supported include trauma, anxiety, physical and emotional pain, grief and loss, and nervous system regulation.
About CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
What it is
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle manual therapy, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. With almost no manipulation, it works with the autonomic nervous system, with the cerebral spinal fluid and the self-healing potency already present in each of us.
It is known to be very safe, non-invasive and an effective therapy for patients of all ages, and many conditions.
Deeply relaxing to experience, sessions are weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on your individual case and at which stage of treatment you are at.
How does it work
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) involves the use of gentle touch to engage the autonomic nervous system, cerebral spinal fluid, and the body’s natural self-healing abilities. It aims to release tension in the fascia, the connective tissue that extends throughout the body, and to balance the rhythmic flow between the head and pelvic area. By fostering a calming presence and a process called entrainment—where the therapist’s state influences the patient’s—CST supports the body’s natural healing and is effective for a variety of health problems.
What to expect
During your first session, I will take a detailed case history to understand the reasons for your visit. Sessions typically last an hour, during which you remain fully clothed and lie face up, though the position can be adjusted for comfort. I will make light contact with areas like your head and spine, attentively listening to the subtle rhythmic movements in your body to support your natural self-healing abilities.
What it is for
CranioSacral can address various physical and emotional issues, including arthritis, back pain, headaches, and tinnitus. It effectively helps manage stress, burnout, anxiety, and sleeping disorders. Additionally, it supports the elderly dealing with grief and dementia, as well as mothers and children facing sleep difficulties and restlessness. This holistic approach promotes healing and enhances the body-mind connection for overall well-being.

Have you ever felt like anger doesn’t belong to you? Or that expressing it might be “wrong” or dangerous? Perhaps you are always accommodating others, always kind, and yet something inside feels restless—tightly held, hidden, or even absent. This is suppressed anger, a natural emotion that, when not safely expressed, can lodge in the body, shaping our physical and emotional landscape.

There are moments in life when someone enters our world and, perhaps for the first time, truly sees us. They look beyond the surface. They witness our strength and hold space for our tenderness. Their gaze, gentle and present, touches something inside that has long waited to be met. For many of us, this can feel like love. But what happens when that person is unavailable? When the connection, though profound, cannot fully unfold? And why can this experience awaken such a deep longing, even pain? To begin to understand this, we must go back—not to the moment we met them, but much further, to the early chapters of our life.

Have you ever noticed stiffness in your joints, chronic aches, or tension that doesn’t seem to have a clear cause? For many, these physical pains reflect emotions we’ve held inside—especially anger that has never been fully expressed. Arthritis is not just a condition of the joints; it can also be a profound signal from the body, a messenger of tension, unresolved emotions, and long-held stress.
