Craniosacral Therapy & Gentle Release Therapy
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle non-invasive therapy working with the natural rhythms and systems of the body.
With foundations from osteopathy, the therapy uses light touch over various points on the body, listening to what it needs to release tension. This supports your body’s innate ability to balance and restore its vitality and health.
Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for everyone in all stages of life, from new born babies to elderly adults and if helpful treating many conditions, injuries and emotions.
Treatment is both calming and energising and promotes a sense of wellbeing.
I trained as a craniosacral therapist after many years working reflexology and gentle release therapy. Hence I bring my understanding of energy zones and 5 element TCM into the treatment as well.
What is Gentle Release Therapy?
It’s a gentle treatment working with energy release and is based on the principles of acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine. (TCM) and the 5 Element Theory.
Our bodies and minds hold onto stress and emotion, which can be what’s currently going on in life, but also over your lifetime.
With TCM organs of the body are associated with certain emotions. An example is that the lungs in TCM hold onto our grief and anxiety. If you find yourself waking at 3-5am feeling anxious and breathless this could be related, as this is the time associated with the lungs.
Gentle release therapy can help to release this energy and help you to relax and energise.
What to expect
A typical session is around an hour, all fully clothed and oil free! Following a good consultation and comfortably laying on a couch, the treatment involves gentle touch over areas of the body, mainly the abdomen and cranium. (The tummy and the head and neck) There are also some areas of the feet that can be used in gentle release therapy.
The acupressure part is working by touch on acupressure points and the meridians of TCM…but no that doesn’t mean using needles before you ask…It’s all by gentle touch.
I work with the you intuitively helping energy release.
How does it feel?
Examples of feeling energy releasing can be lots of stomach gurgles and tingles. You may see colours and be aware of the slowing of your breathing and a feeling of relaxation.
Clients I have seen have given feedback that they feel a sense of calm and release of tension and of feeling energised again after a session/s.
Come and try this wonderful treatment and see what your body wants to release. Have some time to relax and release that stress……
