and aliveness to what matters
Cranio-sacral therapy
with
raka Tavasmi
Pain, stress, tension, and disconnection from the body don’t have to be your normal. I work with busy adults whose body symptoms are getting in the way of true rest, and 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 us explore what you really want to build in your life, and which actions move towards 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 in cranio-sacral therapy, which is a way of supporting whole-system health. At its heart, this 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 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 selves in the world.
Craniosacral sessions are deeply relaxing and quietly transformational. Along with reflective dialogue, they connect us to our inner truths, basic health and our genuine experiences. In doing so, sessions can reveal what truly matters, where we are strong, and where we need care. If you’re wondering whether this work might be right for you, please feel free to get in touch.
