Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that works with the craniosacral system—the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Developed from osteopathic principles, it aims to release tension, restore balance, and encourage the body's natural ability to heal. Practitioners use light, hands-on techniques to assess and ease restrictions in the body, improving the function of the central nervous system.

This therapy is particularly valuable for women during pregnancy and postpartum. It helps ease common discomforts like back pain, pelvic tension, and hormonal imbalances while also supporting emotional wellbeing and stress relief. After birth, CST supports recovery by addressing residual trauma, rebalancing the body, and helping restore physical and emotional harmony.

CST is also highly beneficial for newborns and infants. It can support babies who have experienced strain during birth, soothe colic or digestive issues, promote better sleep, and enhance bonding with parents. Its incredibly gentle touch makes it a safe and supportive therapy for even the youngest patients.

Every session is tailored to the individual’s needs, whether they are recovering from birth, dealing with chronic tension, or looking to improve their overall wellbeing. By addressing both physical and emotional layers, CST offers deep, lasting healing that meets the body where it is.
