What is craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on wellness approach that helps the body unwind from recent or long-held tension and stress, promoting deep relaxation and balance. With precise, gentle contact, the practitioner listens to subtle body cues, encouraging the body’s natural capacity for balance and integration.
What should I wear? Do I have to undress?
You remain fully clothed during a craniosacral therapy session. Loose, comfortable clothing can make it easier to relax, but you’re welcome to wear your regular daily clothes.
What can I expect during and after a session?
During your session, you will lie comfortably supported on a massage table while I use a light touch to hold different areas of your body, including your head. Many clients notice sensations such as softening, warmth, gentle shifts, or deep stillness. After the session, clients often feel deeply relaxed, grounded, or more aware of subtle changes in their body. Each experience is unique and encourages calm and overall well-being.
Who can benefit from craniosacral therapy?
Many clients seek craniosacral therapy to manage stress, support general well-being, or complement other wellness practices. It is suitable for all ages, including pregnant women interested in a gentle approach to relaxation and balance.
Are there any situations where craniosacral therapy should be avoided? Craniosacral therapy is gentle and non-invasive, but certain medical situations may require extra care. If you are pregnant and have preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, or preterm labor, or have a recent head injury, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or any active blood clotting disorder, please consult your healthcare provider before scheduling a session.
