Where the body remembers how to rest
A light, unhurried, hands-on treatment that helps an overworked nervous system settle. I work with people living with migraine, pain, poor sleep and the long tail of stress, a short walk from the Art of Living International Centre.

What it is
Very little pressure. A lot of listening.
Craniosacral therapy is a quiet, hands-on practice. You lie on a padded table, fully clothed, and I rest my hands at your feet, your sacrum, your head. There is no cracking, kneading or force.
What I am doing is listening: to the slow rhythms in the body, to where it is holding on, to where it is ready to let go. Given that kind of attention, most nervous systems shift out of alarm and into rest. That is where repair tends to happen.

A session, step by step
An hour that asks nothing of you
We talk
What is troubling you, what helps, what has happened in your life. In the first session I also note a few things we can measure, so we both see what changes.
You lie down
On a padded table, in loose clothes. Most people close their eyes. Some talk, many fall asleep, a few cry. All of it is fine.
The body settles
I move slowly between holds at the feet, sacrum, belly and head. Clients describe warmth, tingling, or a heavy, spreading calm.
You rest
Take a few minutes before you get up, and if you can, do not drive straight away. The effects often keep unfolding for a day or two.
From a client
Swarna, air pistol coach, after fifteen sessionsAfter every session I felt more energetic and refreshed. My sleep has improved. I used to get some pain in my back and legs, which has disappeared now.
Swarna came with back pain from competition training and psoriasis she had hidden under long sleeves for years. Over the months we worked together she brought home four gold medals from a national competition and, one day, arrived in short sleeves.
In their words
What people notice
I could feel the energy circulating within my body, especially on the soles of my feet. My lower back felt so light and relaxed after the sacral healing. My knee pain has improved a lot. … I slept soundly that night.
With every touch, I was able to go deeper into relaxation … I would drift into such deep rest that I had no awareness of what happened afterward. Upon waking, I felt deeply refreshed. The sessions eliminated my bloating sensation for days afterward.
