Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-intrusive “hands-on” therapy based on findings about the body’s subtle physiology, which were made by osteopaths nearly 100 years ago.
During the treatment you will be lying on the couch and experience the very light touch of the therapists hands. You may feel a deep sense of relaxation and may become aware of heat, tingling, pulsations or other sensations. Equally you might get in touch with deep emotions and feel them bubble up to the surface. Stresses, strains, tensions, traumas and shocks, which have been stored in the tissues will restrict the body’s functioning and may affect us physically (back pain, frozen shoulder, migraine, breathing or digestive disorders, chronic fatigue) or emotionally (pmt, anxiety, depression, insomnia).
These restrictions tend to show up in the way craniosacral motion is expressed. By ‘listening’ through their hands, craniosacral therapists can help free deeply held tensions and liberate trapped energy, helping the body to let go of its restrictive patterns and tap into its self-healing potential.
Craniosacral work is very gentle and safe. It is suitable for all people, old and young, children and babies including newborn as well as pregnant women, or those in fragile or acute conditions. You can also use this therapy to alleviate everyday life stresses and increase your vitality and general wellbeing.
Sama qualified as a Craniosacral Therapist in 2002. She found craniosacral work well adapted to Yoga practitioners as it offers a valuable insight into psycho-physical restrictions and energetic blockages.
Sama’s focus on fascia fluidity and emotional release has led her to work with a wide variety of people including pregnant women. Her cranial work has also significantly helped several babies to overcome stressful births. She has helped people with chronic sinus problems and throat related ailments as well as TMJ restrictions like teeth grinding and temporal tension. She is a fully qualified, insured and registered practitioner with the CSTA UK.
