Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, holistic, non-invasive therapy that works with the body’s nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and sacrum, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid that flows around and within these structures. By working with this vital system, CST supports the body’s innate ability to self-regulate, restore balance and maintain overall wellbeing.
This therapy takes a whole-person approach, recognising that our physical, mental and emotional aspects are deeply interconnected. True wellbeing comes from harmony between these different aspects of ourselves, and Craniosacral Therapy aims to support this balance and facilitate greater alignment.
Craniosacral Therapy can be a valuable complement to psychotherapy, counselling and coaching. While talking therapies help process thoughts and emotions, CST works with the body’s response to stress and trauma, supporting nervous system regulation, deep relaxation and greater mind-body integration. Together, they can enhance the overall therapeutic process.
