Pain, stress, tension, and disconnection from the body don’t have to be your normal. I work with busy adults whose symptoms are getting in the way of true rest – and of what they want to be doing, whether that’s work, a creative project, or something else.
I work with sensitive touch and dialogue to support ease and rest, in the body, mind and heart. This also helps you explore what you really want to build in your life, and which actions help you move toward this.
Together, we make space for what matters to you.
Overview
Who is it for?
I work with adults who are exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed, in pain, or unable to rest. Some are recovering from illness or injury and looking for support for recovery. Many are looking for more energy and space for a vocational, creative or other project that is important to them.
What is it?
I offer sessions with intuitive touch and reflective dialogue to support whole-system health. Based in craniosacral therapy, it is also informed by other embodiment practices, for body, mind & heart. Working together we create a container for rest, renewal, connection, and change.
Where and when?
Central Edinburgh (Broughton area) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
East Lothian on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Addresses provided on appointment.
Usually between 11am and 6pm. Other days and times are sometimes possible, ask me if you need this.
Hello, i’m Raka
I am a cranio-sacral therapist with a background in philosophy and psychology, and a long engagement with movement and contemplative practices. I’m interested in what becomes possible when the body is treated as a place of intelligence, refuge and action, not a problem to be solved. I love working with people who wish to find ease in themselves and express their unique gifts in the world.

Listening with my hands
To words, sensations, images, and silence.
Sessions with me support relaxation and self-healing. They offer connection to your basic foundation of health. This is not only physical, any aspect of your life can come into the picture – all of you is welcome. This work can reveal what truly matters to us, where we are strong, where we need care… and what it means for you to rest in your own skin.
