What Is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on bodywork approach that uses light touch. Its name refers to the cranium and sacrum—the skull and the bone at the base of the spine.
In my practice, each session begins with listening to your concerns and preferences. You remain fully clothed while resting comfortably, and I explain the hands-on work before we begin.
Sessions offer space to pause, notice your body, and explore your experience without pressure to feel a particular result. Your comfort and choices guide the work throughout.
CST is offered as complementary care alongside your existing medical or mental health treatment.
What Happens During a CST Session?
You remain fully clothed while resting on a comfortable padded table. A seated position may also be used, depending on your needs. Before beginning, we discuss your comfort, preferences, and any questions.
I use light touch at your head, back, or other areas we’ve discussed. You’re welcome to talk or rest quietly, and you can request a change in position, decline touch in an area, or pause at any time.
You might notice warmth, subtle sensations, emotions, or a sense of rest. You may also notice very little. Experiences vary, and there is no particular response you need to have.
Before you leave, we’ll check in about your experience and make time for your questions.
A Thoughtful Approach for People Who Have Experienced Trauma
If you’ve experienced trauma, your comfort, choices, and boundaries matter. Before beginning hands-on work, we’ll discuss your preferences and explain what the session may involve.
You don’t need to describe difficult experiences or revisit memories. You can decline touch, ask for an adjustment, or pause at any time. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable for you.
My role is to offer gentle bodywork and an attentive, respectful space. CranioSacral Therapy is complementary care and does not replace treatment for PTSD, concussion, or other medical or mental health conditions.
Is CranioSacral Therapy Right for You
You may be curious about CST because you’re seeking gentle bodywork, time to rest, or an opportunity to become more aware of your body.
If you’re living with pain, recovering from an injury, or managing a health condition, we can discuss your goals and whether my approach fits alongside your existing care. Please share relevant health information and any guidance from your healthcare provider before we begin.
Each session is individualized, and experiences vary. I welcome your questions so you can make an informed decision about booking.
