What is Craniosacral Therapy? (CSTA)

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle way of working with the body using light touch. People may come for Craniosacral Therapy because they have acute physical problems like headaches or bad backs, or longstanding problems both physical and emotional. Others come for ongoing support in their busy lives and for help to meet life's challenges. Because it is so gentle and non-invasive, Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Mothers and babies often come for problems associated with difficult or traumatic births. Letting go of tension and fear held in the body enables both to settle into calmness.

About

Madeleine

BarneS

Health is always present. Reconnection to health occurs when the body is truly heard. CST has its roots in Osteopathy but uses no manipulation. Rather, a gentle touch that interacts with deeply subtle rhythms and impulses in the body to assist with self-repair.

Some people come for regular, constitutional sessions having experienced what CST can offer. Others come with conditions as diverse as dental issues, IBS, hormonal imbalances, PTSD, chronic fatigue, tinnitus, whiplash, sleep disorders, RSI as well as back, neck and joint pains.

CST promotes a sense of wellbeing on a physical, mental and emotional level from which the ups and downs of life can best be lived, unhindered by low energy, recurring illness, chronic pain or anxiety.

I love what I do!
