It is worth elaborating on the benefits of biodynamic craniosacral therapy (BCST), and its role in session work, when calling in the body's innate capacity to heal and reorganize. At its core, BCST can help us move out of patterns of tension, overwhelm, and disconnection, and into greater ease and presence. It can support clients in

• coming out of over-efforting and overdrive states

• repairing micro-patterns that hold tension and collapse

• restoring the body’s natural timings

• expanding perceptual range, and

• building more freedom in expression and movement.

This subtle-movement modality can also be particularly helpful in addressing physical issues such as headaches and migraines, chronic pain and tension, and depression and anxiety. It can be particularly effective in alleviating the shock effects of concussion or traumatic events deriving from falls, sports injuries, and surgeries. Of course, treatment is not intended to take the place of care from your primary doctor, rather it is a beneficial, complimenting modality.

With such physical and nervous system shifts can also come greater emotional resilience, range, and clarity.  Coupled with client-specific, movement-based somatic tools, craniosacral therapy can provide further assurance in meeting the world on your own terms. 

And then too, a beautiful complimenting approach to BCST is Releasing (or SRT) which also informs the session work. In Releasing, we slow down long enough to perceive some of the organizing, often quiet, forces beneath movement. Releasing, like BCST, invites change from within, and affirms self-compassion and self-care.

SRT, originated by Joan Skinner, shares features with the Feldenkrais Method and Alexander Technique, supporting subtle movement repatterning through gentle guidance, attentive touch and respect for the body’s inherent intelligence. (Skinner was herself directly influenced by Alexander Technique, as well as the Ideokinetic work of Barbara Clarke and Mabel Ellsworth Todd.)

Importantly, SRT recognizes that we are an interaction, that we live in context, shaping ourselves in relationship to our surroundings, people, nature, etc. While SRT originates as a studio practice, I bring its principles of spaciousness, integration and wholeness to the table.
