CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
Can Help Every Body
Whether you seek help because of stress, pain, injury, traumatic experience, or otherwise, this gentle, hands-on approach to healing restores harmony. Your blockages may be from recent experience or many years in the making. Either way, Free Flow CranioSacral Therapy is here to help you to be free of limitations.
CranioSacral techniques primarily restore the freedom of the bones, membranes, and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This Central Nervous System is the command center for your entire body and compensates daily for the stress and strain of modern life, adapting the best that it can. However, it is common for structural and chemical tensions in the Central Nervous System to accumulate.
These distortions affect the health of the entire body and are involved in many disharmonies. Estimates commonly suggest that 75% to 90% (and up to 95% in some clinical estimates) of human diseases and doctor visits are related to stress and stress-induced inflammation. To be clear, medical science views stress as a contributing, triggering, or worsening factor, rather than the sole, direct cause of most illnesses.
Fortunately, the obstructions in the Central Nervous System can be felt and corrected with CranioSacral touch. With sensitive skill and attention, CST restores healthy motion and rhythm to the body. In doing so, the body is empowered to return to a natural state of well-being.
During a session, profound changes occur as your body becomes deeply relaxed. In this state, you may enter into meditative awareness that gives you surprising insights. Breakthroughs in the physical body are often aligned with emotional transformations and mental realizations. CranioSacral Therapy might benefit more than just your physical well-being. This modality can positively change your experience of all aspects of life.

What A Treatment Might Include
A wide range of CST techniques open flow for all parts and systems of your amazing body. With my hands to guide the way, your body follows with its natural intelligence.
There are a variety of gentle hand placements on the head and neck (Cranio), as well as holds to release the sacrum area at the base of the spine (Sacral). These primary techniques are what CST is best known for. They support healthy, free motion to the anatomical structures directly around and near the brain and spinal cord.
These core techniques are complemented by work in the abdomen, chest, and throat areas. Focus may also be extended to unwinding the legs and feet, and arms and hands.
I also provide inner mouth release if you who have noticeable mouth, jaw, and vocal tension. Most people hold unaddressed stress and trauma in the mouth, which I approach with gentle care, open communication, and gloved hands for your comfort and safety.
I often give treatment without talking, to promote a deeply receptive atmosphere that is beyond words. I sometimes verbally guide clients through meditative body awareness to support releases and healing. If needed, I facilitate your own vocal expression to empower the healing process. Beginning a conversation with your body while in a relaxed, deep awareness is a powerful way to access the roots of trauma.
All parts of you are welcome to the treatment space, as the whole human being that you are. You will be safe, held, and supported in whatever arises during a session. I prioritize providing a calm, therapeutic presence for every person and every session.
