What is Cranio-Sacral Therapy?
Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord — the central nervous system. This important system is heavily influenced by the cranio-sacral system - the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.*
So what happens when those systems aren’t functioning as they should? Enter CST. Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a gentle and highly effective therapy that provides opportunity for greater health and healing by alleviating tensions in the body and mind. It’s appropriate for adults and children (including newborns) and is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease.
How does Cranio-Sacral Therapy Work?
Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it works to compensate for. I.e, the stress on your body during life, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as well as the stress your baby experiences in utero and in the birth process. These stresses and traumas cause the the nervous system and body tissues to tighten and distort which then cause restrictions around the brain and spinal cord. This, in turn, creates barriers to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system in the body. In short, where there is a trauma (generational, birth, tragedy, etc.) the nervous system becomes chaotic.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy & You
During the appointment I’ll gently feel various locations of the body to find where physical and emotional tension is held. I’ll then apply gentle cranio-sacral techniques to help release restrictions and restore function.
When you leave, you’ll have recommendations of things to incorporate into your daily routines to promote peace, balance, health, and vitality. I know without a doubt that your babies can feel safe, you can feel safe, and you can keep your babies safe.
