What to Expect During a Craniosacral Therapy Session

A typical craniosacral therapy session with me involves the following steps:

Assessment: I'll start with asking you questions about your medical history, physical symptoms, and overall health status.
Treatment: After lying down on massage table, fully clothed, I'll begin the treatment by using gentle touch and manipulation to release any restrictions or blockages in the craniosacral system. This involves using light pressure on various parts of the body, including the head, neck, spine, and sacrum, to encourage the free flow of cerebrospinal fluid and promote healing.
Monitoring: Throughout the session, I'll continue to monitor your response to the treatment, adjusting my technique as needed. You may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or relaxation during the session as your body releases physical and emotional traumas held in the body's tissues. You may also feel emotional or spiritual shifts as the therapy progresses.
Integration: After the treatment is complete, I'll help you integrate the experience and provide guidance on self-care practices that can help to support ongoing healing and balance in the body

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can be beneficial for a wide range of health conditions, from chronic pain and stress to neurological disorders and emotional trauma. By helping to restore balance and flow within the body, this therapy can promote healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, supporting overall health and well-being.
