You Are Already Whole
Craniosacral therapy has its origins in the insight of Dr. William Garner Sutherland more than 100 years ago. Dr. Sutherland, an osteopath, realized that living tissues breathe and generate subtle rhythms that can be palpated. I have been trained to palpate these subtle rhythms as they express through the structures, tissues, and fluids of the body.

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, hands-on approach for returning to, supporting, and maintaining your Health through palpating the body's subtle rhythms. It is based on the understanding that the body will heal itself and return to its natural state of dynamic equilibrium and self regulation if given the proper support.

Where does Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy come from?
As mentioned above, BCST comes from the osteopathic tradition and developed from the insight and study of osteopath Dr. William Garner Sutherland in the first half of the 20th century.
Dr. Sutherland realized that the cranial bones are designed to express small degrees of motion, which can be palpated. The movement of the cranial bones is connected to other subtle movements in the body, in both fluids and tissues, such as the cerebrospinal fluid, the central nervous system and its surrounding membranes, and the sacrum.
How does it work?
BCST works with your vital energy, which generates subtle rhythms as expressions of Health. Using gentle, hands-on contact, I feel these rhythmic movements in your body's tissues and fluids, often sensing patterns of resistance and tension.
While acknowledging the patterns of tension that are present, I focus on the body's innate Intelligence. This awakens the body's capacity to release the patterns and return to a greater expression of Health. As a result, you may experience pain relief, deep relaxation, increased range of motion, increased mental clarity, greater self awareness, and more ease in your daily life. In short, BCST enables you to build resources and realign with your body's innate vitality, thereby easing patterns of stress and compromised function.
I love sharing the good news that Health can be accessed at a deep level within your system and is always present. I help you focus on this innate Health as a tool for self care and as a way of aligning with your body's healing power.
I also work with vital energy using Polarity Therapy, another form of hands-on, energy-based bodywork.
