Your body knows how to heal. 

Your body is the most intelligent resource available for healing yourself.  Sure, we all have our blocks or self-inflicted conditions, but who else heals a cut for us?  Our bodies do that!  Our deepest healing happens when we work with that intelligence and to facilitate whole-body changes from within.  One of the most therapeutic aspects of craniosacral therapy is  the reorientation of the body towards health, safety, and life.  Such a reorientation creates change on a many levels, from bodily pains or tensions to mental, emotional and behavioral patterns.  Ultimately, it's about rediscovering a deeper relationship with life itself.

Engaged healing - Ripple effects.

I discovered early on in my healing work that people who are able to engage in their own healing process got far more out of sessions.  When change is not just about stretching a muscle, it's about getting to know yourself better, that process can affect everything from your pain levels to your life choices.  I'm interested in efficient healing, and I see that happen when the whole body gets involved.

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)?

Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy is a subtle and profound hands-on therapy that interacts with the whole body system on many levels.  It is particularly helpful as a holistic healing approach to injury, trauma, nervous system, and physiological-emotional issues.

What kinds of conditions respond well to BCST?

Because BCST is about activating and allowing the body's own internal healing abilities, it can be an effective approach to a wide variety of conditions.  When the nervous system is better regulated, the whole body is better regulated.  Some  common conditions that people find improved with BCST include the following:
  • Pain relief (acute and chronic)
  • Nervous system imbalances (eg. anxiety, hypervigilance, fatigue)
  • Neck injuries / related tension
  • Chronic back pain
  • Sciatica
  • Anxiety, depression
  • Insomnia
  • Sinus infections
  • TMJ / jaw tightness, pain
  • Dental recovery
  • Neural disorders
  • Migraines / Headaches
  • Digestive problems
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Pregnancy preparation & post-partum recovery
  • Birth trauma in infants and adults
  • Earaches / Chronic ear infections
