Pain, stress, tension, and disconnection from the body don’t have to be your normal. I work with busy, sensitive 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 intuitive 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 sensitive, creative, busy adults who are exhausted, stressed, overwhelmed, or in pain. Some are recovering from illness or injury. Many are working on projects that are important to them. I help them find deep rest, self-healing and energy for action.
What is it?
I offer sessions with gentle touch and reflective dialogue to support whole-system health. Based in craniosacral therapy, my work is also informed by other practices. Working this way we create a container for rest, connection, change and renewal.
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.
Hello, i’m Raka
I work with intuitive touch and reflective dialogue, with training in craniosacral practice and other related traditions. I have 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 health 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.
