What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy? (BCST)
BCST is a nurturing hands-on full-body treatment with special attention to settling the nervous system and the treatment of the results from trauma. It directly supports the body's ability to regenerate using the developmental forces at work in us since conception. Craniosacral therapy is most effective over time, as each session builds on the last—supporting deeper layers of healing, integration, and nervous system regulation.
What happens during a treatment?
A typical craniosacral session is performed with the client fully clothed. The practitioner places their hands lightly on the client, tuning in by listening with their hands. The body speaks through its rhythms and micro movements. The therapist encourages revitalization of the inherent healing potential of the whole being. Clients often report a sense of deep relaxation during and after a treatment session.

• Stress and anxiety relief
• Recovery from trauma
• Chronic pain
• Nervous system settling, Vagus nerve resetting
• Insomnia and fatigue
• Headaches, migraines and neck pain
