— CRANIOSACRAL SESSION —

What to expect

—

Light touch is at the very heart of Craniosacral Therapy. We establish a feeling ‘safe­ty’ and ‘trust’ in the body relationship between the client and therapist. This is done by settling, with a chat about where the client is at that moment, after which we move to the treatment table. Light, mindful contact is negotiated throughout the session as the therapist listens to the subtle energy forces in the body system. The session may require the use of various gentle holds such as the feet, sacrum, spine or cranium.

How it may feel

—

As the session unfolds on the table the client’s body may drop and soften to a deeply relaxing fluid state. You may sense anything that your body is wishing to express at that time. These can be felt in different ways, such as expansion and release of muscle tension in the shoulders, tingling down the legs, hands and feet, or even a release of stuck unprocessed emotions; creating more space in your body to hold feelings of self-compassion and self-love. As you become more integrated, you should feel more whole and embodied. The experiences and sensations you may feel will vary from session to session. Ultimately, it is a relaxing and invigorating experience which can create more space in the body for you to feel more balanced, happier, freer and calm.

How long is a session

—

A craniosacral session is an hour for adults, and 45 minutes for children. Sometimes, the first session can be an hour and 30 minutes, as this also involves creating a case history for our future work. We are currently living in challenging times, and as such I am happy to connect with you initially over Zoom or telephone, if you would prefer. Usually, a course of several weekly treatments is best, but my approach is to trust the client’s feelings around how often you feel you may need to have a session. Your body will often guide you toward what feels right.

Cranio during Covid

—

I am now able to offer craniosacral therapy sessions in person, in line with the latest government guidelines. I work from two clinic spaces, both of these comply to the strictest government safety measures. I will space out my appointments, allowing at least 20 minutes between sessions for a deep clean and ventilation. As part of the new Covid 19 procedures for clinical work, a protocol and consent form will be emailed to you prior to your appointment, which you can then sign just before the session.
