Recently a client asked me if it was OK to ask what I was feeling when I was sharing a Craniosacral Therapy session with her. A comment often made by those new to Craniosacral Therapy is that they don’t feel me doing anything. In the quiet moments of a Craniosacral Therapy session there are so many subtle things going on throughout your being. I become quiet and close my eyes to limit the senses I am engaging, so that I can gain a better sense through touch.

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.
Having completed Massage Therapy training 29+ years ago, I continue to be fascinated by the human body and its uniqueness to each individual. It is always amazing to witness just how capable the body is of healing naturally, and the results that clients experience.
While I’ve also practiced Craniosacral Therapy for 29+ years, the past 5 years, plus more recent and ongoing advanced training, have shown me how much more clients can experience in their wellness journeys. How do I know? Client feedback and results. As many clients know, I have begun a series of classes to upgrade my Craniosacral Skills. That means that sessions are changing as my skills grow through the early months of 2025. What it also means is that you will gain more from your sessions with me. While there will be more changes to sessions in the coming months, at this point here are some of the changes that you may notice during your Craniosacral sessions:
While my previous blog (click here) describes my holistic approach to your sessions, it doesn't include the most important part - meeting you where you are. I understand that each person has their own view of what is holistically healthy for them. What holistic health means to you will be unique to your understanding and how you choose to implement it in your life journey. Your view will be as unique as you are. When I was newly trained in Reflexology I offered to give my Dad a treatment. He had been suffering with Osteoarthritis in his hip for many years and was often in a lot of pain, which hampered his being able to be as active as he wanted to be. A Metallurgical Engineer, he was a skeptic, saw things very black and white and did not believe without science and proof. But he did agree to let me practice on him. |
