What is Craniosacral therapy?
The Start
I was introduced to Craniosacral therapy while taking my Massage Therapy program. There I witnessed a girl who had a frozen shoulder injury for over five years, she had gone through other modalities which seemed to have hit their limits on where they were able to bring her mobility to, her mobility was fairly limited compared to what we would considered average. She volunteered for a few techniques with the teacher and just after a few minutes the girl was within the typical normal range again! My mind was blown! My heart amazed. I knew I wanted to take at least a few levels of this treatment style. I started taking courses during the spring in 2025. I fell in love with how the practice approached the body. I have also found great relief within myself through sessions of CST that added to the desire to provide these methods to my clientele. Furthermore I do have complementary Reiki training that adds an extra layer of healing to my session with clients.
A type of treatment that zones into the nervous system.
The therapy engages connective tissue for deep tissue release through using a only a gentle touch, nothing more is needed.
It encourages the client's system into a deep relaxed state that provides the appropriate space for the body to go through its natural healing processes.
Since the nervous system is intertwined with all systems in the body, it can release tension, trauma, and long standing aches at at nearly every level
