In a healthcare culture that focuses on what’s wrong, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) takes a different approach. It works with the body’s existing capacity for balance and self-regulation. When stress becomes chronic, the nervous system can remain stuck in a heightened state of alert, adding to tension, discomfort, poor sleep, and a general sense of overwhelm. CST is designed to help the body shift out of that pattern.
During a session gentle, attentive touch is used to assess and support the craniosacral system, encouraging the nervous system to move out of “fight or flight” & into a calmer, parasympathetic state. This shift signals safety to the body and allows deeply held tension to begin releasing without force or manipulation. As the nervous system settles, many notice a sense of ease, slower breathing, and a quieter internal state.
Rather than treating symptoms as isolated problems, craniosacral therapy views them as adaptive responses to stress. By supporting nervous system & vagus nerve regulation, Craniosacral Therapy helps create the conditions for improved resilience, restoration, and overall well-being. Clients often leave feeling more grounded, relaxed, and better equipped to handle daily stressors—both physically and mentally.
