Craniosacral Therapy

Subtle, Powerful Healing for Body & Mind

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release tension, regulate the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing process. Whether you’re recovering from birth, struggling with headaches or chronic pain, managing stress and anxiety, or seeking relief for your baby’s latch and sleep challenges, CST offers a soothing and effective way to restore balance.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Your body holds onto tension in ways you may not even realize—whether from stress, injury, birth, or the demands of daily life. Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the body’s natural rhythms to release tension, restore balance, and support the nervous system.

CST is effective for adults, pregnant individuals, and infants alike, helping with:

✔ Chronic pain & tension – Headaches, neck pain, back pain, TMJ dysfunction

✔ Stress & nervous system regulation – Anxiety, insomnia, emotional overwhelm

✔ Pregnancy discomfort – Low back pain, pelvic tension, round ligament pain

✔ Post-birth recovery – Support for both the birthing body and baby’s adjustment

✔ Infant feeding & development – Latch difficulties, tongue tie recovery, sleep issues, torticollis, colic

CST is gentle yet powerful, using light touch to encourage the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Many clients describe feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, and more in tune with their bodies after a session.
