Craniosacral Therapy

CST is a gentle hands-on treatment that is approached energetically and manually to balance the craniosacral system in the body, including the bones, nerves, fluids, and connective tissues (such as fascia) of the skull and spinal area.

The Profound Effects of Craniosacral Therapy

Your body has an innate ability to heal. Unfortunately, due to many life events, such as emotional or physical trauma, the body is blocked from this natural process.

CST addresses the root cause and facilitates self-correction and deep healing. The effects can be quite profound as issues can be worked on at a level many other manual techniques cannot reach. 

CST sessions are deep and profound. The gentle touch of this therapy supports the release of tension and restrictions trapped in the deep layers of our bodies, allowing the dysfunction to release its grip and well-being to flourish. You may experience immense feelings of peace and calm, reduced stress, anxiety, and depression, and improved sleep.

  • “With the gentle touch of Sara’s hands, my entire nervous system released its grip. I felt like I was wrapped in a warm, safe, nourishing cocoon, and that sensation lasted long after my treatment. I have a history of sleep disturbances and usually sleep 2-3 hours. After my treatment with Sara I slept 7 hours straight.”

  • “The first night I had the best sleep I had had in years, and then the “magic“ of the treatment kicked in. I say magic, because never in my wildest dreams did I think it was possible to have such amazing changes in my body, including less inflammation, swelling and better digestion, resulting in alleviating, my IBS symptoms and regularity.”

  • “My CranialSacral session with Sara was amazing. I felt safe and comfortable for my body to be able to relax and release the areas that were tight. I had a better sleep that night and felt more calm and peaceful in my mind and body. I will definitely be booking another session soon.”

    — Suzie

  • “I had my first CranialSacral session with Sara not knowing really what to expect. I went in as a newbie with many issues, ongoing stomach problems, neck, and shoulder pain, as well as a cold that would not go away for weeks. After my first session I felt extremely relaxed, lighter and had the best sleep I’ve had in months, I woke up refreshed, breathing through my nose and seemingly no flareups with my ongoing ailments. I couldn’t believe it as the day progressed I found myself with endless energy and feeling really good. Thank you Sara I can’t wait to see what we can accomplish with further treatments. “

    — Gabrielle

  • “Sara is very warm and welcoming, and her treatment space is very calm and peaceful right from the beginning of her treatment. I could feel a difference between the left and right sides of my body, which I did not mention until after my treatment it was very interesting to me that she focussed mostly on my right side. After my treatment my body felt balanced. The treatment was very relaxing and I felt energized when I left there.”

    — Client

  • “My CranioSacral treatment was amazing. For a while it felt like my head had left my body and was floating. I was able to disconnect from my pain. I realized honouring my body more by prioritizing it’s health was key to my healing. I had never looked at it that way before. My Self and my Body as two different entities. Sara helped me get there during my session with her.”

What a Session Looks Like

Generally speaking,  Craniosacral Therapy sessions are typically 60-90 minutes long, however, if it’s your first ever visit, we might need 90 minutes in order to fully understand your needs and issues. Depending on what you need to treat, you could either benefit from three-ten consecutive sessions or a few annual or semi-annual maintenance sessions. We will help you determine what’s right for you.

During treatment, you lay on a massage table fully clothed, I will gently examine various parts of your body with my hands to evaluate the state of flow of your cerebrospinal fluid. I will then “listen” with my hands to find where the flow is weak and where the tissues are restricted. Restrictions can be caused by physical or emotional traumas that become stored within our bodies.

Next, we will trace the restriction back to the source and use gentle hand pressure to improve the flow in your tissue. This is meant to relieve your symptoms and allow your body to heal naturally.

If you are curious as to whether Craniosacral Therapy is the right treatment option for you, you can book a phone consultation and we can assess your individual needs and create a custom treatment plan.
