CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY for ADULTS
You’re ready to move beyond pain, stress, and the effects of trauma.
Are you open to begin a gentle, body-led approach to healing?
Using light, skilled touch, craniosacral therapy aims to release tension, improve the body’s natural healing processes, and restore balance, making it an excellent option for those seeking holistic treatment for pain, stress-related conditions, and trauma recovery.
❋ Origins of craniosacral therapy I useVisionary Craniosacral Work, developed by Hugh Milne, arises from the tradition of osteopathy and the pioneering work of A. T. Still, William Sutherland, and Rollin Becker, while also integrating insights from shamanic traditions.
❋ how does it work?It works through soft contacts with the bones and sutures of the skull, spine and sacrum which harmonise the movements and pulsations inherent in each person’s natural metabolism.
What can Craniosacral therapy support?
WHAT to EXPECT from the session?
Somato-Emotional Release
Chronic pain, headaches, and migraines
Neck, jaw, and back tension
Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
Sleep disturbances and fatigue
Emotional or physical trauma
Nervous system dysregulation
Post-injury or post-surgical recovery
Life transitions, grief, or burnout
Somato-Emotional Release is often woven into craniosacral sessions. It is grounded in the understanding that unresolved emotions and trauma can become held in the tissues of the body, manifesting as physical pain, restriction, or imbalance.
The practitioner can help you connect with your sensations, images, and emotions as they arise, allowing stored experiences to be acknowledged and released.
During a craniosacral therapy session, you remain fully clothed and usually lie comfortably on your back, with occasional short periods on your side or front if needed.
Using gentle, light touch, I place my hands on different areas of the body to support the release of tension and encourage the nervous system to settle and regulate.
“A gentle pause can be the beginning of meaningful change”

Because babies are so receptive, even the lightest touch can create meaningful change, supporting comfort, relaxation, and a deeper sense of ease for both baby and parent.
Sessions are calm, non-invasive, and guided by the baby’s cues, creating a safe and supportive environment.
Craniosacral therapy may be helpful for:
Fussiness or colic
Feeding or latching difficulties
Sleep disturbances
Discomfort following birth or medical interventions
Tension or asymmetry in the body (e.g. after a difficult or assisted birth)
It may be particularly supportive after long or fast labours, caesarean birth, use of forceps or ventouse, or if your baby seems unsettled or uncomfortable in their body.
When is it not suitable for your baby?
Craniosacral therapy is not suitable in cases of acute illness, fever, infection, or where urgent medical care is required. If your baby has a complex or serious medical condition, it’s important to consult your GP, paediatrician, or healthcare provider before booking.
This work is complementary and is not a replacement for medical care. It is offered alongside appropriate medical support, helping to gently support your baby’s natural capacity to settle, regulate, and find ease.
“I had a craniosacral therapy with Alex for my little son, 19 months at the time.
He struggled with nightmares since he was born, waking up every night with terrors.
I can’t quite explain what she did but the nightmares are gone ever since.”
