Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is body-centered work that brings profound healing to body, mind and spirit.
This relational touch modality supports the healing of the body and mind as it is generated by the body’s own energetic life force. The forces that brought us into being are the forces that sustain us and continually support our living in vitality. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy encourages the entrainment of slow distinct fluid rhythms to interface with the body’s anatomy and physiology. The subtle body guides itself toward a stillness that is seen as deeply healing.
Biodynamic work is a gentle and non-invasive hands-on modality performed on a massage table while the client is fully clothed. The practitioner, with the intention of holding neutrality, skillfully brings a light touch for a period of minutes in each contact to support the body in organizing around its inherent health expressions in spaciousness. The space provided in the holding encourages the forces of life to bring the body, and especially the nervous system, into its natural healthful rhythms.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy offers the body an opportunity to soften an up-regulated nervous system. This promotes a sense of safety and a feeling of well-being and allows inner constitutional health to strengthen and become the guiding force of the body experience. Physical health including immunity, emotional health and spiritual health all have an opportunity to rise to an optimal expression when the body is given a safe space to release what is held. It is a whole being therapy that supports healing at its core level in recognizing that the energetic, fluid and tissue systems of the body are a deeply interlaced web. Clients are met as a whole being by the practitioner who holds a field of safety and spaciousness for the unfolding of health.

There is a gentle effectiveness that arises in the safety of the environment for the experience.
