I have been  a craniosacral therapist for twenty years and I have been amazed what this gentle therapy can achieve. I have worked with clients with chronic headaches, who have reported, the headaches have disappeared after a few treatments .  I have seen clients full of stress and anxiety, who have felt more positive after having craniosacral therapy.I worked in the Midlands for many years, and have lived and worked in Aberystwyth for the last two years . I am a full member of the Craniosacral Therapy Association. 

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, supportive therapy, which enables the patient to relax at a deep level.  It works with the whole person, and changes may occur in mind, body or spirit.  By making very light contact with the hands on the body, the craniosacral therapist encourages the patient to become more aware of what is going on in the body.  The patient feels safe and this can facilitate deep releases of tension.

I begin by taking a case-history, asking questions about specific ailments and the patient's state of health.  Some people choose to bring a detailed description of their health problems and that can be very helpful. The patient is then asked to lie down on the couch, fully clothed with shoes and spectacles off.  If you are unhappy lying down, then you can remain seated.  I will touch you very lightly on, for example, the ankles or shoulders.  At times it may seem that nothing is going on.  I need to tune in to what is going on in the body and that takes time.  The beauty of this treatment is that the patient is in charge.  I work with what the system presents without any specific agenda. You may feel tingling, heat, pulsing, a feeling of heaviness or lightness, or a sense of profound relalxation.  The whole session lasts an hour, and many patients are surprised how quickly the time passes.
