What is Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST)?

CST is a gentle, hands-on therapy that supports your nervous system and your body’s natural ability to heal, regulate, and restore itself. My approach is slow, attentive, and collaborative — guided by deep listening rather than force. CST works with the membranes, bones, and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Through gentle contact, I listen for patterns, restrictions, and subtle motions that reveal how your body is organising itself. Using light touch, I work with the subtle rhythms of your body to support release, balance, and a sense of safety. Each session is shaped by what your system needs in that moment, creating space for rest, clarity, and meaningful change.

​

CST can support with

• Stress, anxiety & nervous system overwhelm

• Burnout & emotional exhaustion

• Sleep difficulties

• Head, jaw, neck & back tension

• Grief, trauma & emotional processing

• Feeling disconnected from your body

• Life transitions & long-term stress

• Nervous system regulation

• Deep rest, recharge & increased vitality​

​

What to expect during a session

Each session lasts 60 minutes, including a short check-in at the beginning and time at the end to gently return and reflect.

You remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table, often with a blanket for warmth and support.

The level of touch is often light and there are moments where I might support your body to move and release tension. Levels of touch and movement are agreed between us throughout the session.

Every session is different, and your body and needs set the agreed pace. 

​

Who is it for?

CST is for everyone who is interested in a gentle approach to the body and wellbeing.
I have worked with people of all ages and various degrees of mobility. Including those who are pregnant; people with disabilities; babies/children accompanied by their parents; dancers, movers, office workers, singers, carers and elders.
