CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (Biodynamic)
“I came across
Craniosacral Therapy when my first son was just two days
old. He had endured a difficult ventouse birth and was
distressed and unable to feed. As new parents, we were very
frightened. On advice, we took him to a Craniosacral
Therapist and were astonished to see our baby’s distress
disappear almost instantly. At the time, I didn’t
understand how this was possible but my fascination for
Craniosacral Therapy was certainly born.”

What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy originated as a
small part of Osteopathy, but this non-manipulative, gentle
and profound treatment is now a specialist area. Treatment
is fully clothed while the therapist gently holds your head
or sacrum (or sometimes a specific body part). This is to
‘listen’ to fluid movements within your body, which express
like a tide, almost as a separate expression of breathing
within us. We sometimes refer to this as Primary
Respiration. Primary Respiration is considered to be the
movement of health, wholeness and well-being in the human
body, as it seems to be the force that organises and
re-creates us in each moment.
Is it suitable for babies?
Many people have
heard of the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy for babies
and children. The effects of birth can result in colic,
sucking problems, breathing difficulties, restlessness,
irritability and more. Young systems often process such
difficulties remarkably quickly. This is a non-verbal
language to which they respond wonderfully well.
Why Biodynamic?
The word
biodynamic derives from the study of embryology and refers
to the forces in the fluids that shape the embryo. In a
Biodynamic approach we orient the body to a place of
stillness and balance to release held forces that can lead
to discomfort or dis-ease, in a gentle and safe manner,
following only the direction, the timing and the needs of
your body, helping it to seek its own path to health.
What does it feel like?
The feeling is
different for everybody. Some people feel tingling or
subtle movements. For many, Craniosacral Therapy is often
experienced as deep relaxation, like accessing a meditative
state whilst the body seeks innate healing.
BACH
FLOWER REMEDIES
Bach Flowers are
the perfect companion to other complementary therapies –
and as a supplement to standard western medical treatment.
Dr Edward Bach was a doctor, a homeopath and a leading
bacteriologist. However, it is his use of particular wild
flowers for healing (working similarly to homeopathy) that
has become his lasting legacy. Bach flower remedies are
entirely benign, making them suitable for adults and
children alike.
