Touch and dialogue for ease in the body
and aliveness to what matters
Craniosacral therapy
with
raka Tavasmi

Pain, stress, tension, and disconnection from your body don’t have to be your normal. I help busy adults whose stubborn symptoms are getting in the way of what they actually want to be doing, whether that’s their work, a creative project, or something else.
If those body symptoms are taking up so much of your attention that there’s little left for what’s important to you, I may be able to help.
I work with sensitive touch and dialogue to support ease and rest in the body, mind and heart. This also helps us explore what you really want to build in your life and actions to move towards it.
Together, we make space for what matters to you.
Overview
Who is it for?
I work with busy people who are exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed, in pain, or simply unable to settle. Some are recovering from illness or injury and looking for gentle support for recovery. Most are looking for more energy, space and clarity for a vocational, creative or other project that is important to them.
What is it?
I offer sessions in craniosacral therapy, a way of supporting whole-system health. At its heart, craniosacral work is potent and simple: gentle touch and sensitive presence, offered to body, mind & heart. Together with dialogue, we create a container for rest, renewal, connection, and change.
Where and when?
Central Edinburgh (Broughton area) on 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.
Hi, i’m Raka
I am a craniosacral 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 and action, not a problem to be solved. I love working with people who wish to find ease in themselves and express their unique selves in the world.
