Craniosacral

Craniosacral is a return to you.  It is a modality that fosters and encourages physical, mental, emotional and spiritual alignment with nothing more than conscious light touch.  As electromagnetic beings, our harmony and ability to self-heal is wholly dependent on the function and performance of the central nervous system.  When attention is paid to the nervous system--when the body is viewed as a whole, and simply listened to through the art of stillness, balance is restored.  

Throughout our lives, emotions, known as energy in motion, get stored throughout the physical body.  When these "e-motions" are not released, they can cause energetic stagnation--known as tension, pain, discomfort or imbalance.

The benefits to craniosacral sessions are multi-faceted.  Many people report an elimination or alleviation of physical discomforts.  Studies show reduction in headaches/migraines, an elimination or reduction in neck and back pain.  Improvement in sleep, digestion, TMJ, colic, sciatica, asthma and arthritis have all been reported.  Emotional benefits include less depression, reduced anxiety/ADD/ADHD, lowered stress levels, and an increased sense and ability to relax.  Mental benefits include elevated mood, the ability to reduce/heal trauma (to include birth trauma), improved focus, and less fatigue.  

Craniosacral sessions started in infancy can aide babies with tongue-tie, tongue retraction, latching issues/breastfeeding.  Sessions can calm the nervous system of an infant who may have experienced stress or trauma during the birth process.  In addition, craniosacral for babies may provide the benefit of proper placement of the cranial bones so they set and grow in their proper placement which can help prevent developmental or behavior issues in the future.  There is more information about craniosacral for babies in the BLOG section of this website.

Craniosacral is helpful to all who seek it, but it is especially helpful for expectant mothers.  Tension in the mouth has a direct relation to tension in the pelvis.  The main objective to using craniosacral during pregnancy is to best calm the body, relaxing tissues and releasing tensions to create an optimal position for baby/birth.  This deepened state of relaxation during pregnancy often fosters a new awareness of the connection and relation between mother and baby.
