CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Supporting your body’s natural shift from tension toward ease. Welcome to CranioSacral Therapy.
As a modality, Craniosacral therapy (aka Cranial Sacral) is gentle, relaxing, highly impactful, and subtle. It does not use oil or lotion and takes place directly on the skin or through the clothing/sheet depending on the area of the body that needs attention.

ALWAYS IN MOTION
The illustration below shows how the skull is in constant movement, a pumping or liquid breathing of the cerebrospinal fluid, maintaining steady pressure around the brain and along the spinal cord. The “Cranio” part of Craniosacral is meant to help this movement be as flowing as possible, by helping the flexible skull sutures maintain healthy connections.
