What to Expect
You'll lie fully clothed on a treatment table. The practitioner uses an extremely light touch — often described as the weight of a coin — at the head, sacrum, and other points. Despite the gentleness, sessions can produce profound shifts. You may notice heat, pulsing, emotional releases, or simply deep relaxation. The pace is slow and meditative. Sessions often feel like floating.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I really feel anything with such a light touch?
- Most people are surprised by how much they feel. The subtle touch creates space for the body's own intelligence to organise. Recipients commonly report significant shifts from what appears to be 'nothing happening'.
- Is it suitable for children?
- Yes — craniosacral therapy is gentle enough for newborns and is often used to address birth trauma, colic, and early developmental challenges.
- How does it differ from other bodywork?
- It's non-manipulative — the practitioner doesn't push or correct, but listens and creates space. The work happens at a very subtle level of the body's self-regulation system.
