Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)?
The core principal of BCST is that health is always present in everybody. Sometimes, when the body is overwhelmed by illness, pain or pathology this sense of inner connection with the underlying feelings of health, comfort and ease is lost. BCST can help you to reconnect to the health and vitality within.
Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy is a gentle non-invasive therapy. It works firstly by creating a calm, receptive non-judgemental environment. In the absence of any perceived threat, using a soft relational touch the client’s system deepens into a relaxed and comfortable state where the parasympathetic nervous, system can be accessed.
No outside energy is brought into play and there is no commingling of energy fields, palpating or intentional movement enacted by the therapist. We simply follow the natural rhythms and expressions of the body as it settles and seeks out any areas of resistance, sickness or structural anomalies and then attends to reorganise the energy around these areas to re-establish balance and harmony. We call this the “Inherent Treatment Plan” The body decides and releases old patterns of stored tension to find its way back to its original blueprint of health and balance.
All sessions are 1:1, you remain fully clothed and are either lying on a massage table or seated in a chair depending on mobility.
This work is profound: It allows for a deepening into the cellular and fluid world within. Once we tune into our inner world we reconnect with our inner truth and are able to be with life's challenges with greater acceptance and curiosity, rather than disbelief, anger and rejection. We essentially give space for the body to find inner harmony and health.
All experiences are stored in our nervous system, Stephen Porges coined the term "neuroception" to describe how we hold within us things that we have no understanding of. Using the understanding of the nervous system and it's functions in our daily lives helps us release long held patterns through co- regulation, and deep listening.
What others say about it…
“I highly recommend Louise’s craniosacral therapy sessions. Through great technical skills, flexibility, kindness and respect, Louise’s approach has allowed me to learn about patterns in how my nervous system, body and mind respond, and to trust myself more. I am so looking forward to my regular relaxing and eye-opening cranio sessions, now every week!”
“I started having Cranio sessions with Louise after she completed her training. It has been so beneficial for me that I have continued the therapy regularly. Louise is an empathic and intuitive healer. She holds you gently in different positions giving the body space to release, restore, integrate or resource as it needs. I have found it powerfully effective in enabling the release of old patterns and the effects of stress and difficult emotions. In the process I have felt calmer and more balanced and increased my somatic awareness. I highly recommend Cranio with Louise. It is a wonderful modality to counter the rush and stresses of modern life and the impacts of personal challenges. You are in the best of hands with Louise.”
“I started seeing Louise to help manage my stress levels with work and life in general and cannot recommend her enough. She has helped me practise presence with how I am feeling and calm my nervous system. I leave feeling great after every session and always look forward to my next appointment.”
“With a number of long standing autoimmune conditions, Cranio has made a huge impact on my ability to calm my nervous system and find acceptance of my current situation. Louise is very caring and knows what my body needs. ”
