Biodynamic Craniosacral

where stillness fills the whole body.. and beyond

Biodynamic Craniosacral is a gentle yet profound hands-on healing treatment for the entire body, mind, and energy system. It is an invitation into contact with the intelligent and divine nature of our humanly form, inviting us into sensate presence and embodied stillness, creating inner body fields of coherence. Guided by heart-led listening and a highly attuned touch, holds are placed along the body, allowing restrictions and blockages to release on their own, creating more ease and alignment in the system— fluids, tissues, fascia, organs, and bones, as well as the nervous system, are impacted; we also work with the chakras and meridian systems, with an understanding that the unification and vitality of all layers of our Being is integral to cultivating bio-individual healing and Wholeness.

Said another way, Biodynamic Craniosacral orients from and tends toward the primal and innate health of our entire Being (body, mind, spirit) and the self-healing capacites within. The vitality and Wholeness that is with us preconception, during conception, in utero, at birth, and stays with us throughout our lives. This essence continues to inform our anatomy and physiology, metabolic fields, and energetic architecture.

Craniosacral originated from Osteopathy, the study of the interconnection of the muscles, bones, and fluids and the impact they have on the entire human body, as well as mental and emotional wellbeing. Osteopathy was informed by the ancient rituals of laying-on-of-hands and bone-setting techniques, which were original healing ways of the first humans to walk this Earth.

There is an ever-present essence and constant, steady template of vitality and Wholeness resting at the ground of all humans and our anatomical and energetic design, irregardless of any condition, diagnosis, construct, or belief. We just need to remember it. Or be reminded of it. Or find it. Or allow it.

Biodynamic Craniosacral is an invitation into this remembrance and reclamation.

──── ·· ────

Sometimes people are seeking for relief of a physical symptom and an emotional memory from childhood that has been stifling them is revealed. Sometimes unresolved or unprocessed material or memories arise to be known, felt, or integrated. Sometimes simply slowing down and receiving allows the body or mind to complete a process or pattern, resulting in more clarity and peace in the day-to-day. Sometimes people are seeking rest and while on the table, a decision they have been grappling with clarifies. Some people come in to deepen awakening and or to support embodiment practices they are working with. Some people come to clear energy, some to move it, and others to rediscover it.

Each session supports whatever is showing up in the moment and asking for completion and healing. We leave it to the body to show us, and it is never wrong.

"In the depths of stillness, within the cerebrospinal fluid, lies the wisdom of the body- a wisdom that speaks of health, wholeness, and the inherent potential for healing." - William Sutherland

  • Sessions are held on a massage table fully clothed, with pillows, a table warmer, and blankets available to you to ensure your body feels completely supported.

    We will begin with a Stillness mediation before hands on work begins.

    Sounds, sighs, and questions are welcomed throughout the sessions, though minimal back and forth dialogue is encouraged to support cognition in slowing down.

    If appropriate and in alignment with your process, I may ask simple, open-ended questions to support a dialogue between you and your body, an ancestor, younger self, or Spirit. This is mostly to create more realized connection and to support your unique sensory awareness as you are receiving and feeling, and less about cognitive processing.

  • Please refrain from wearing jeans, corduroy, or canvas pants during the session. If you need to change before and after your session, there will be time and a space to do so.

    If possible, please arrive 5-10 minutes before your session start time to allow yourself a moment to take a breath, use the restroom, etc.

  • Some people find completion in just one session, others find they come every month for a period of time before feeling complete. Some simply enjoy the receiving and book whenever they feel called.  It is totally up to you.

    Typically, I recommend a series of 3 sessions, as layers of our healing reveal themselves over time and deeper integration is offered the more we engage with our experience.

    For folks experiencing chronic symptoms or recovering from recent surgery, you may benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions for 1-2 months.
