Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
T.S. Eliot
The session unfolds in dialogue with you and your experience. Through this, the healing process is supported, guided by your body's own intelligence.
Many people find CST deeply relaxing and calming. Some can also experience more intense or challenging sensations or feelings during a session. This is normal and can happen as areas that have been holding on begin to change and release. Afterwards, a greater sense of flow, energy or ease is commonly recovered.
CST allows the process of change to take place by meeting your body at its own pace. This pace is unique to every individual, so treatment may be quick or require several sessions. Afterwards, changes can occur over several days.
What happens in a treatment?
During your first appointment, we will discuss some medical history, your overall health at the moment, what is currently going on in your life and what you are hoping the therapy can help you with.
The session happens fully clothed on a treatment table, making gentle, non-invasive contact on different areas of your body with an attentive and non-judgmental presence.
The tide-like motions of the craniosacral system can be felt throughout the whole body and are our deepest expression of health. Craniosacral Therapists palpate these subtle rhythmic motions and invite flow where there might be places of 'stuckness' or inertia. Because the body functions as a whole, I may focus on areas other than where your symptoms are occurring.
