Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy​

 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle laying-on of hands that stems from the work of cranial osteopath Dr. William Sutherland, who found near the end of his practice that there was an inherent intelligence in the body, a potency that could be sensed that he called the Breath of Life, that was the force behind cellular organization, health, and healing.

 

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy doesn’t aim to “fix” anything — it is a practice of deep presence. I think of it as a facilitated somatic meditation, or a hands-on shavasana (corpse pose in yoga) where the intention is to have a moment of stillness to integrate the activity of a yoga practice (or your life). This is a moment to yourself: to tune in and listen to what the subtle sensations of your body are telling you, to offer compassionate witness to any trauma or processes that need resolution in your body within a controlled and safe environment, and to explore the stillness that resides deeply within.

​

A standard session costs $80 and is about an hour long. It involves the client lying clothed on the table as the practitioner moves through a sequence of gentle holds on the body. The intention of a session is to turn attention inwards and be present with what is as it arises. I have a little plaque on my windowsill I like that says, "there is nothing to do, just be."

​
Health: the remembering of who we are.

I received my diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy through the international Body Intelligence training out of Nelson, BC and am registered with the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America. I am currently accepting new clients, so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or are interested in working together.​​
