CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral therapy works through attuned and kind touch.
Hands rest mainly at the head, the sacrum, the feet, held in a relational field. It’s in this field of compassionate presence that what has been waiting to be met, can safely reorganise itself.
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 or not so quiet counsel of holding patterns, compressions, places where something was too much and never quite finished moving through.
As humans, touch was our first language, hence the resonance that our system finds in the unspoken. Given the right quality of presence and safety within touch, the body remembers how to restore and replenish itself. It has always known how. It simply needs the conditions.
Combining my Somatic Therapy with Craniosacral Therapy, I’m passionate in working directly with the nervous system to build a grounded yet alive sense of coherence. When stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma disrupt our baseline, the nervous system can become stuck in survival mode, frequently manifesting as physical conditions like chronic fatigue, autoimmune challenges, illness, or migraines. I also appreciate that this touch work is a beautifully restorative pathway to simply receive and nourish the spirit.
“It’s hard to put into words my experience I had with Caroline. The space she held for me was truely exceptional, I was coming off the back of a very stressful day and as soon as I walked into her presence a rush of calm flowed through me and it continued to flow throughout the practise, so much so that at the end my nervous system was restored and I felt back in my body. Her words, her touch, her presences made me feel supported and relaxed.”
— Tui Greer
"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."

Sessions are guided moment by moment, entirely led by what your system brings. To bring potency and health back online, we work with what is already there. An undercurrent of health resides within each of us, therefore by listening to and supporting what is there, we are able to pour health back into the places that are more quiet and perhaps stagnant.
My approach is trauma-sensitive and shaped by my training in Somatic Experiencing which means we never swim upstream. We resource not only process, we tend the whole organism, not just the presenting symptom, and from there, just maybe what was once the rock in the moving river, begins to flow into a deeper wellspring of vitality.
Each session is uniquely different, providing its own medicine. Through the co-regulation of human to human, there is an opportunity to experience a sense of stillness, an embodiment of self, sensations, visions and an unfurling of held tension and patterns. These can be or may not be all part of the process, if that is the way your body wishes to respond.
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–September) · Mount Maunganui, New Zealand (from September)
Online: Somatic inquiry sessions available year round.
