What is craniosacral massage?
CST is a gentle technique that focuses on evaluating and enhancing the way the CranioSacral system functions. The Craniosacral system is made up of membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which surrounds and protects the brain.
When a therapist is performing Craniosacral therapy, they are focusing on returning things to normal balance. They find the restrictions within the core of your body (the spinal cord) and work on releasing them.

What to expect on your first treatment?
It is normal to feel a little light headed, so we always recommend getting up slowly at first. You may feel very emotional, relaxed, tired. If you have any questions or concerns after your treatment, contact your therapist, they will be able to help you further understand what may be going on.
How many treatments will I need?
This varies depending on the severity of the problem we are working with. Most clients feel a difference after one treatment. Others it may take a few to get to the root of the problem.
Does craniosacral hurt?
No. Craniosacral Massage is a very light pressure treatment. The client remains fully clothed while the therapist feels for areas of restriction within the body and focuses on energy to return balance to the area of concern.
At this time masks are still a mandatory health measure and shall be worn by both myself and clients during massages (covering the mouth and nose at all times). When the mask mandate is lifted, I will be proactively requiring everyone to wear a mask in my office for a few months longer to ensure the health and safety of not just those entering my office, but our families as well! I foresee a lot of colds/flu's going around as we get out more and see friends/family and I would like to keep everything at bay.
I will be continuing with my cleaning protocols that I have kept in place during COVID to help battle that as well.
