Relaxing Massage

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, non-invasive, light-touch holistic therapy that supports the body's innate ability to self-regulate and shift from an activated state (fight, flight, freeze) and into a relaxed, easeful state that is essential for deep healing.  As the practitioner, my role is to support clients to feel safe enough in their bodies to find this relaxed and regulated state at a pace that feels best for them.  I then listen to their body with my hands and tune into the rhythms of their nervous system, cerebrospinal fluid, and connective tissues in order to support the order their body wants to heal.  The thing I find most amazing, and beautiful, about the modality is that it's the client's body doing the healing, I am just facilitating the space they need to re-access and re-member their ability to do so. I have worked with clients across all ages and stages of life - from a few weeks old to palliative, and from all walks of life and experiences, and I have consistently seen this modality help people heal on a physical, mental, and emotional level.

Some Key Aspects of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy:

  • Focus on Inherent Health: Unlike therapies that only treat symptoms, BCST works with the body's innate intelligence and healing abilities

  • The "Breath of Life": Practitioners tune into subtle, deep rhythms in the body, often referred to as the "Breath of Life," to encourage deep healing and self-regulation.

  • Light Touch and Safety: Sessions involve very light, gentle touch (often 5g of pressure) where the therapist holds areas like the head, feet, or sacrum to feel the body's rhythms and support the release of tension.

  • Trauma-Informed: BCST is highly regarded for its ability to work with trauma processes by creating a safe, neutral space that allows the client's system to settle.

  • Benefits: It is used to address chronic pain, stress, migraines, emotional distress, and to promote overall well-being and improved body awareness

"Touch comes before sight, before speech. It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth."

Who can Benefit from BCST?

Anybody, at any life stage, for any need.

The nature of BCST is that it is a client-centered, safe, holistic modality that is gentle enough to support any health need at any stage of life.  It is your body that's doing the healing, I am just there to help it remember how and to provide the safe, relational space it needs to do so.  It does not matter if it is a new injury you are seeking help for or something that has been a longstanding issue, BCST is able to help.  Many people find BCST after trying several other treatments and modalities that have failed to provide the lasting results they are looking for. BCST is also a great support to add to your routine if you are in good health and are wanting to ensure you maintain it.

What to Expect for your Treatment

All sessions are held fully clothed on a massage table in a relaxed, quiet setting. There is option to add soothing instrumental music in the background and incense to enhance the experience. I recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing and bringing water to have after your session is done.  Our first session together will be longer, as it allows for us to discuss your reason for coming and to go over your health history while still having a full treatment.  All follow ups will be one hour, including discussion and time on table. What will unfold during our time together will be entirely up to your body. If possible, it is wonderful to not plan anything strenuous after your session.  By providing yourself the time to relax afterwards, you will find the peaceful, rested state you enjoyed during the session will extend long after we say goodbye.
