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 access its innate capacity for healing. As tension unwinds, balance can be restored from within. Through this work many people can find greater ease, and sense of belonging in themselves, and greater awareness about their 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.
BRMarch 2023I 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.”
JBYMay 2023I 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 a desire to feel more at ease in themselves. Many find that cranio-sacral practice brings deep rest and tranquility, and a sense of the body being listened to and responded to.
Each session is unique, guided by what is needed in the moment. Physical sensations, emotions, and wider life themes can all 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 what is true and supportive for you. This supports the basic foundation of health, which can become injured and depleted due to various influences. Many health conditions are thus supported by this practice.
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 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, dialogue and movement, I will support you to connect to states of rest and self-healing. The touch is gentle, and it can have deep 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 feel tired as the body integrates the treatment. I always encourage people to take things gently after sessions, allowing time for the effects to settle.
Sometimes earlier sensations or emotions can come to the surface, to settle naturally. This is part of the integration process which continues between treatments. You are welcome to stay in touch between appointments if 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 it feels beneficial to continue, we will discuss the frequency that suits you.
