 Providing Craniosacral Therapy clients with homework after their session is really common in my practice. Spending time in a forward flexion posture such as fetal curling or child’s pose is the assignment given most often. Taking time at home to be in this posture enhances and furthers the flexion posture techniques of your Craniosacral Therapy session. It is so good for easing muscular and fascial tension along the spine and dural tube. Your nervous system loves it whether you’re newborn or 99 years old!

 Sometimes selfcare is not just about bubble baths and meditation, sometimes it's about recognizing and then addressing issues that need to be resolved, with consistency, so that you can clear them. It can be more arduous work like clearing physical clutter to allow for increased clarity of mind, or making self care appointments ahead of time to ensure that you honour the commitment to healing you've promised yourself. It may be focusing on taking your life in a new and more empowering and supportive direction.
 One of the main focuses of a Craniosacral Therapy session is to encourage your Nervous System to relax, so that your body can reset. When your Nervous System shifts from the sympathetic (fight or flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest) function, the healing begins, on all levels. Allowing yourself to surrender and let go isn’t easy for some. It requires your confidence and trust in both me, and in yourself. Trust that I am a safe person to completely relax with, and that I have the skills and training to provide your session.
 There is A LOT going on in the world right now. It often feels overwhelming. Even for those not watching the news, there is an energy of fear and anxiety that is palpable. If you’re at all empathic then you are likely feeling the impact of that energy to a really uncomfortable degree.
 There have been so many positive outcomes for clients in recent months when Craniosacral Therapy has been a part of, or all of their session.
 Emotions are a natural and human way of expression. And you are human before you put on any of the other roles you have in this life.
Emotions are also an energy that you can suppress or release. Mindfulness
Clients have heard me say this often after their sessions with me, especially after Massage. The main reason behind this "after session" advice is that it extends the benefits of your session after you return home. But there's more...
 As a human being you have a natural instinct to protect yourself from harm. Your brain, through sight and hearing, stays alert to anything or situation that may be harmful. With exposure to stress, trauma and feeling unsafe, your nervous system can become somewhat stuck in protection and survival mode, even if there is no real threat.
