A Craniosacral therapist uses gentle contact to attune to the rhythm of the body, inviting the stillness needed for healing to take place. It can be deeply restful and create profound emotional and physical shifts. It is a holistic therapy for all ages.  ​ During a session, the practitioner may perceive the rhythmic expression of a client's cerebrospinal fluid, the subtle movement of their cranial bones and the tone of the central nervous system. They will sense areas where congestion, inertia and unprocessed trauma are held. In doing so, they can facilitate the release and reorganisation of these holding patterns, returning from fragmentation in the system to feeling balance, wholeness and vitality Craniosacral Therapy is an extension of the findings of Dr William Sutherland (1873-1954), an American Osteopath who came to understand that the cranium is designed to move as part of a rhythmic impulse which manifests throughout all the body’s systems and tissue layers. His clinical observations led him to see how pathology, trauma and emotional patterning distort these rhythms.
