Most people feel very relaxed and report sleeping much better. Reduced pain is also very common . People often report feeling more embodied, lighter, happy, inspired, more patient, and more regulated. 

It really depends on each individual .  Sessions tend to be cumulative and typically I recommend a series of three spaced a week or two part initially.  It is  something that you can do throughout your life to support you when needed. 

I usually find that 5-10 sessions is generally required.

Craniosacral therapy is very affective in regulating and calming your nervous sytem and helping you to feel more embodied. 

The biodynamic appraoch is a highly skilled way of listening to the body and encourging health from within the clients own system . Our bodys are highly intelligent and we are always seeking health, given the oportunity. 

All of our life experiences and stories are held within our body tissues and nervous system . If these past traumas have not had the opportunity to express and dissapate at the time of the experience, they can affect our connection to our body and feelings of safety. This can lead to anxiety and feeling hypervigilent in life ( detecting danger when it is not there ) .

Biodyanmic craniosacral thrapy uses embodied  , gentle ,safe and present touch  which can help the client feel calm and safe.  When you drop into this space the body has the opportunity to realese  some of these  long held experiences in a slow paced and resouced way. 

Re-doing some of these expeiences without the fear, in a safe contained way can help release these often long held experiences.

Chronic pain is any pain that lasts for more then 6 weeks and is very common . The way we work with and our understanding of   chronic pain has changed greatly in the last 15 years. We now understand it to be not so much about  tissue damage  and more about the nervous system. Its all about protection and keeping us safe. The  brain makes an assessment of how much pain we “need” to be in for us to feel safe and protect the injured area. unfortunately sometimes it gets it wrong. The longer we are in pain the better we are at producing it. We need to stop this feedback loop and find a sense of safety and health again. 

I am passionate about working with pain and would love to help you on your way back to health
