The best way to describe Craniosacral Therapy is that it’s a unique anatomically precise type of bodywork that is approached energetically, honouring the innate wisdom of the body.

What that means is that even though the foundational core of Craniosacral Therapy is anatomy, it incorporates a much more subtle level of feeling. It’s a deep listening at the hands of the practitioner. The body’s intelligence communicates its needs in order to best find balance and the practitioner has the anatomical precision to gently guide it in the right direction.

Our Craniosacral System covers the area from the cranium (head) to the sacrum (tailbone), consisting of tissue, membranes, and cerebrospinal fluid that help to protect the brain and spinal cord. Over the course of our lives, the body takes on many stresses, be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, which can compound and eventually compromise the function of the Central Nervous System along with nearly every other system in the body.

In this whole-body approach, the work is to gently release restrictions, move stuck or stagnant energy and explore underlying emotions as the body unwinds. It’s from this state of deep relaxation that proper functioning is restored.

While a Craniosacral session can be experienced in silence, there are many times when we integrate Trauma Imprint Repair (TIR) in order to address, make sense of and release significant trauma of all kinds. This practice includes therapeutic dialoguing with the subconscious parts of ourselves.
