Currently craniosacral therapy is provided over a distance from my office to your location. Available office hours are Monday through Thursday 8 to 6 pm. The initial interview is to be done via video screen. That's where we talk about your medical history and your goals for treatment. If we both are comfortable and your breath is relaxed we can proceed with Craniosacral Therapy. If you are in hyper vigilant mode from trauma we would need to help you relax with breath work because I want this to be a pleasant and peaceful experience for you that helps you be more grounded in your body. Once the breath becomes relaxed you will be on your way to experiencing significant healing benefits with CST. If you have a significant traumatic past we should do breathwork first before we do remote CST. Plan to have three appointments with me.

Craniosacral Therapists can facilitate nerve entrapment problems that present as persistent limited range of motion and nerve pain.

Other problems we can treat are chronic fatigue, lack of energy due to insect bites or low vitailty from depression or chronic illness.

In person Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy may be available later this year. CST is a gentle hands-on treatment for the whole body.  Performed on a massage table, the client is fully clothed and the touch is generally light and still. The treatment is focused on supporting the health of the whole being, especially the nervous system. This is the system that dictates all of the body’s functioning, constantly sending and receiving information. The experience can be wonderful.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapists understand how an optimally functioning healthy nervous system performs. We are trained for years on how to use acute perception skills to perceive subtle physiological changes. We also are aware of the energetic map that underlies one‘s basic health and symptomology. We believe that health is never lost no matter what the ailment.  We use our ability to identify the parts of the nervous system that are not functioning optimally and our awareness of the “always available health” in the body to assist the system in bringing itself back into balance. This supports greater ease and helps the body decrease symptoms. 

Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy can reduce symptoms associated the following:

• Trauma from emotional or physical causes
• Lack of energy or joint mobility
• Nerve Pain
• Imprinting from prior generations
• Migraine Headache
• Congestion or stiffness in the tissues

Please initial………..I understand that craniosacral, polarity or distance energy therapies are provided for the purpose of stress reduction, relaxation and relief of inner or outer tension. If you experience any pain or discomfort during any session you will immediately inform the practitioner so that the hand pressure may be adjusted to the level of your comfort. 

I further understand that craniosacral, polarity or energy therapy should not be misconstrued as a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis or treatment and that I should see a medical doctor, naturopath, osteopath or other medical specialist for any mental or physical ailment I am aware of.
