Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy works through the lightest of touch and yet what it reaches can be surprisingly deep.
Hands rest at the head, the sacrum, the feet. And in that stillness, a reorganising is able to take place. Not out of push or force but because the body, given the right quality of presence and safety, remembers how to restore and replenish itself. It has always known how. It simply needs the conditions.
We forget that bones are alive. That tissue holds story. That beneath the noise of daily life, the body has been keeping its own quiet counsel, holding patterns, compressions, places where something was too much and never quite finished moving through.
Craniosacral therapy listens for all of that. Not to fix it. To hear it. Providing a sense of resourcing and care.
This work tends to support people navigating nervous system overwhelm, anxiety, stress and burnout, fatigue that rest doesn't touch, depletion, emotional weight and a felt sense of disconnection from the body. It is also, simply, a restorative experience to receive and nourish the spirit.
"If one branch of the tree is dying — why is it that one branch is dying? Treat from the source. Treat the whole living organism." - Alani, CST teacher
Sessions are slow, intuitive, and entirely led by what your body brings. There is no force, no fixing, no predetermined destination. I am not working on you, I am listening with you, following the body's own intelligence toward what it needs.
My approach is trauma-informed and shaped by my training in Somatic Experiencing which means we never push the river. We resource before we process. We tend the whole organism, not just the presenting symptom.
Within a session you might experience a profound sense of stillness, subtle shifts that are hard to name but unmistakeable, a softening of held tension, of emotional weight, of something that has been bracing for a very long time. Sometimes unexpected things surface. Sometimes nothing dramatic happens and yet something, quietly, has changed.
Every session is different. That is the nature of working with a living system rather than a protocol.
My Approach
A note on where I am in my training.
I am currently completing my Craniosacral Therapy training, with full qualification expected in November. Sessions are offered at a reduced rate, a genuine opportunity to experience this work while I finish my studies.
I bring over 1,500 hours of trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and somatic facilitation alongside my Somatic Experiencing training, so while CST is still being refined, the nervous system literacy and trauma-aware presence I bring to every session is ever so present.
If you are curious — this is a beautiful moment to begin.
Where I work:
In person: Northern Rivers, Australia (May–November) · Kaikōura, New Zealand (from November)
Online: Somatic inquiry sessions available year round.
