Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy
With over 20 years of full-time practice, I bring together CST with trauma-informed approaches such as Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy (IoPT) and Focusing—body-based methods that help untangle unconscious stress patterns and give voice to the parts of us that never had words.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports your body’s natural ability to restore balance and heal. Developed in the early 1900s, CST works with the rhythms of the craniosacral system—the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord—that influence how we hold tension, process stress, and experience wellbeing.
Like the heartbeat or breath, the craniosacral system has its own rhythm. When life events such as illness, medication, accidents, trauma, birth experiences, or ongoing stress disrupt this rhythm, the body can hold patterns of tension that affect both physical and emotional health. These patterns often operate beneath our awareness but can shape how safe, connected, and resilient we feel in our everyday lives.
How can CST Help?
Many people come to CST when they feel “stuck” and haven’t found relief through other approaches. Old stress, unresolved trauma, or early overwhelming experiences can live on in the body, resurfacing.
By gently meeting the places that have been holding old stress, CST opens the door to:
- Greater freedom and ease in the body
- Deeper emotional resilience
- Renewed creativity and growth
- A sense of safety and wholeness in life and relationships
Often these roots trace back to times when we were too young or too vulnerable to respond—moments where the body’s only option was to hold on. CST helps bring these imprints into awareness in a safe, supportive way, so the body can finally release and reorganize.
Craniosacral Imbalance
Trauma-informed attention to our pain, inner critic, and deeper self-sabotage through Craniosacral Therapy can set us free to discover life force energy and free us up from unconscious holding patterns in our bodies.
Chronic Tension & Pain
Chronic tension and pain can manifest in many ways including headaches or migraines and even present as autoimmune conditions and fatigue
Disconnected Relationships
Difficulty feeling fully present, safe, or connected in relationships
Mental health is knowing yourself so you can be in the driving seat of your life. There is a way out if you really want to be that unique being you are.
Stress & Anxiety
Unconscious psychological trauma rules our nervous systems. Chronic internal stress management comes at a deep cost to our physical health.
Sleep & Digestive Issues
The Deeper Healing Journey
Craniosacral Therapy is not just about easing symptoms—it’s about reconnecting with your body’s own wisdom and vitality.
This work is for people of all ages who long to feel different in their bodies, their lives, and their relationships. It’s about meeting yourself with compassion, understanding why things were the way they were, and discovering that change is possible.
