Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a non-invasive, hands-on, HOLISTIC treatment that resolves a variety of conditions and restores health.
It is a deeply holistic approach that acknowledges the INTERCONNECTEDNESS of our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. BCST facilitates the RESTORIATION OF HARMONY within the body, allowing the INHERENT WISDOM and intelligence of our system to emerge.

more

BCST looks for the root cause of the imbalance rather than just addressing symptoms.

Our bodies hold stories - of effort, emotion, and survival. Through gentle, mindful touch, Craniosacral Therapy helps the nervous system find its way back to balance and safety.

This light, non-invasive approach works directly with the body’s physiology - supporting the brain, spinal cord, and fluid systems to release patterns of tension and restore natural function.

When the body feels supported, it begins to rest. From that quiet place, clarity, resilience, and self-trust naturally return.

Each session is an invitation to listen inward, to breathe, and to remember your own rhythm of healing.

During the session

During the first session, I will take a case history and listen with care to the reason for your visit. You remain fully clothed ( I recommend coming in comfortable clothes ) and usually lie with your face up on the treatment table. I will make a light touch contact with various points of your body and encourage it to relax and begin to make the changes it needs.
We are all unique and so all sessions are unique.
The treatment typically lasts an hour.
For a better experience, I recommend not eating before the session.

About me

The day I experienced my first Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) session, my life changed in ways unimaginable. For years, I had been carrying the weight of a missing piece in my life, unaware that this profound healing modality was the key to unlocking a new realm. I was not only a recipient of this profound healing, but a witness to the incredible potential it held for others. I am committed to spreading awareness, debunking misconceptions, and igniting a flame of curiosity within those seeking a path to well-being. Each person who embarks on this healing journey creates a ripple effect, radiating positive change throughout their communities and the world. In this age of exploration and heightened consciousness, it is my privilege to contribute this invaluable gem to the world.

🍁 Autumn is such a therapist 😃: holding space, simply listening. And if YOU listen too, you’ll find the quiet beauty in letting go. Autumn, you are golden— a golden drift in life. Life, where we surrender— surrender to mortality.

Humans are just one of an estimated 8.7 million species on Earth. 🌍 We don’t rule this planet — we share it. Imagine what could happen if we lived in true harmony with all the others… ✨ But it starts with us 🙋‍♀️ We have to find harmony within ourselves first — mind, body, and soul. If you feel stressed, easily irritated, angry for no reason, or keep catching yourself mindlessly snacking… this is your body calling for balance 🪷 I invite you to come for a session and discover the root of these imbalances — so you can feel whole, grounded, and connected again. 🗺️ Berkhamsted - Garsington - Aylesbury #craniosacraltherapy #harmonywithnature #betterme #selfdevelopment #nervoussystemregulation #selfcare #garsington #oxfordwellness #oxfordwellbeing #berkhamsted #berkhamstedwellbeing #aylesburywellbeing #traumarecovery #connectiontoself

Book of the month 📚 Such an insightful book for anyone who grew up in a dysfunctional family. ✨ And dysfunctional doesn’t have to mean abuse — sometimes it’s about the things that didn’t happen, or the habits and patterns our caregivers built to protect and survive. These patterns can leave us feeling disconnected, not heart-centered, and like we’ve lost ourselves. This book is a powerful companion for self-development and for creating a stable, peaceful life where you finally feel at home in yourself again. #bookofthemonth #melodybeattie #codependentnomore #aca #disfunctionalfamily #yourself #trauma #somatictherapy #healingjourney #selfdevelopment #selfcare #feelingbetter
