Touch & Presence

Cranio-sacral Therapy

Come home to the quiet intelligence of your body.

These sessions are for those who feel tired, tense, or overwhelmed, and for anyone whose body-heart-mind is asking for deep rest and reconnection.

Through sensitive touch and attuned presence, cranio-sacral work invites the body to settle and find our innate self-healing capacity. As tension unwinds, the natural intelligence of the whole system begins to restore balance from within. Through this work we can find ease and belonging in ourselves, and greater awareness about our nature.

What people say

  • Beautifully subtle

    Thank you so much, it is so beautifully subtle what happened, helps me feel like something I have been struggling to be at peace with for a long time dissolve into the love…A certain situation that was unmanageable where I lashed out my spouse has now become easier and opened up the door to true interaction with my spouse on a loving level.

  • I felt a strong connection to myself

    That was deep for me, in the best possible way. Afterwards I felt a strong connection to myself in a very grounded way… Since then my emotions have been close to the surface and a core belief has risen in to my consciousness… I’m able to see and experience my thoughts and experience my emotions and still feel the ground and not be overwhelmed. Super grateful for the holding and support.”

  • I was astonished at how much my body was able to release

    The sessions were remarkable … I was astonished at how much my body was able to release. My body felt much more together and I was much more comfortable and at ease. Difficult to explain but I felt softer and more cushioned somehow. Today I have had a horrendously busy day but I am surprised to find that I am taking time for myself and I feel more relaxed.

What I can help with

People come to this work for many reasons: pain, fatigue, stress, trauma, or simply the wish to feel more at home in themselves. Many find that cranio-sacral practice brings deep rest and tranquility, and a sense of the body being listened to. Each session is unique, guided by your system’s natural movement toward health. Any aspect of our lives can come into the picture in this approach.

Further Information

Craniosacral practice or therapy is a holistic health practice that uses specific kinds of touch and attention to help us find health from within. It developed from osteopathy and is also informed by contemporary understandings of neuroscience, energy medicine and other knowledges. It is body-based while including all aspects of a person.

In sessions we listen to your body, and help you connect to your deeper truths and supports. This work supports the basic foundation of health, which can become injured and depleted due to various influences. Many symptoms are thus suitable for treatment.

Before meeting we will agree if this work is suitable for you. Please contact me to discuss your needs. You are very welcome to come for one or two initial sessions to see if this work is a good fit. After this, we commit to regular sessions at a frequency that suits you.

In sessions, we will agree on the priorities for our time together and you will be asked to lie down on a treatment couch, in your ordinary clothes without shoes. Please dress comfortably.

Using touch and intention, dialogue and movement, I will support you to connect to deep states of rest and self-correction. The touch is very gentle, and it can have powerful effects. I welcome feedback and questions at any time.

People describe their experience during treatments with words like: deep rest, decompressing, release, at ease, still, quiet, flowing, spacious.

Immediately afterwards you may feel spacious, relaxed and more aware of your body. You may be more tired or energised. It is helpful to listen to these requests from the body, and rest or move as needed.

Sometimes old body symptoms or emotions come to the surface, to be released with care. Much of the change happens in between treatments. I invite clients to keep in touch between sessions when it feels helpful.

Craniosacral practice is not only a relaxing event; it can take time to develop and for health to build gradually. You are welcome to come for one or two initial treatments to see if my work is right for you. If you are happy to continue, sessions take place 1-4 weeks apart.

I work in Edinburgh (Broughton area), and in East Lothian. Addresses on appointment.

My fees are £60 for 60mins or £75 for 90 mins.

Payments are by bank transfer before the appointment, or cash on the day.

Please give me at least 48 hours notice if you need to change your appointment, otherwise I may need to charge cancellation fees.
