craniosacral therapy
craniosacral therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s natural ability to heal.
Working with the nervous system, the fascia, and the subtle rhythms of the body, CST helps release tension, calm the system, and create space for deep physical and emotional healing — without force or pressure.
CST works by gently relieving restrictions in the craniosacral system — the membranes and fluids that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Because this system influences every part of the body, releasing tension here can support better function throughout the whole system — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Many people describe CST as deeply calming, grounding, and restorative — like giving the nervous system a chance to finally exhale.
CST is subtle, but surprisingly powerful. Over time, it helps the body remember how to regulate, unwind, and heal from the inside out.
Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy
CST can be especially supportive for people who experience:
• stress, overwhelm, or nervous-system fatigue
• headaches or migraines
• back or neck pain
• jaw pain or TMJ dysfunction
• vertigo, tinnitus, or lingering concussion symptoms
• chronic pain patterns — including fibromyalgia
• digestive discomfort or tension held in the belly
• difficulty relaxing, sleeping, or feeling grounded
It may also be helpful for emotional strain such as anxiety, sadness, or burnout, as the nervous system learns to settle and feel safe again.
Craniosacral Therapy is gentle enough for all ages — including infants, pregnant women, and those navigating fertility challenges or birth-related stress.
And sometimes, CST simply offers a quiet space to rest, unwind, and reconnect with yourself — even when there isn’t a specific concern you’re working through.
The Healing Process
Craniosacral Therapy works gently and deeply, often in ways the body continues to process long after the session. Some people feel immediate shifts; others notice changes that unfold over the next 24–48 hours — sometimes longer.
There is no “right” way to respond.
Each session meets your body exactly where it is, working layer by layer — much like peeling an onion. Over time, the system begins to unwind, regulate, and trust that it is safe to release what it no longer needs to hold.
Because CST works with the root rather than just the symptom, it is often most supportive when received as a series of sessions instead of a one-time treatment.
Your body always leads the process — and it will only go as far and as fast as it is ready to.
