My background is as a journalist and documentary filmmaker, and I trained as a craniosacral therapist after finding the modality profoundly helpful in my own healing journey from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
By using gentle touch, mindful presence and verbal communication to listen deeply to your body, I support your nervous system to unwind and sink into a greater sense of safety.
In a craniosacral therapy session you lie fully clothed, usually on your back, while I hold different parts of your body such as your feet, back and head.
So many of us are holding a lot – mentally, physically and emotionally. Craniosacral sessions can help you to feel viscerally that you are supported and don’t need to carry it all alone, and help you to acknowledge and release tension and stress.
When our brains and nervous systems become unconsciously stuck in danger mode, so many of the systems in our body – from digestion, to immunity, to energy output – work less effectively, and we find it more difficult to access states such as ease, clarity and joy.
Over time, through ‘co-regulation’ with the practitioner, craniosacral therapy aims to help people to move from fight/flight or freeze/collapse towards a state of safety and restful alertness. When not feeling under threat, our bodies have inherent drive to rest, repair and grow – and a great capacity to heal.
People come to me for support with issues such as:
The aim of craniosacral therapy is not to ‘fix’ broken parts, but to support the body’s innate ability to heal.
I am grateful for all the lineages that this work draws on, including mindfulness stemming from the Buddhist tradition, trauma-informed practice, osteopathy, and Indigenous practices of healing and deep listening.
