Let's meet in quiet discovery
You’ve already got a resourceful and adaptive central nervous system. But persistent symptoms can make you feel less available to the world around you.
In craniosacral therapy we use techniques as the “way in” to acknowledge and enhance your inherent capacity to ease up and find a new equilibrium — thereby reducing the body’s adaptive load.
With roots in osteopathic manual medicine, this style of touch prioritizes a quality of attention that is open and aware. It features a slower, more collaborative contact than traditional massage.
Does craniosacral therapy research show effectiveness for chronic pain?
A recent, large-scale systematic review shows that mindfulness, therapeutic touch, and other mind-body practices are significant in the treatment of chronic pain beyond the course of therapy.

How to know when a session is needed?
- Craniosacral care is a choice when upper body pain/tightness is preventing you from showing up fully, or some other discomfort interferes with your ability to be present with others.
- It is also for people who are working well with a therapist or counselor and want to incorporate gentle bodywork into their ongoing self care.
- Craniosacral therapy should not be used in place of health or mental health guidance. It does not provide any sort of physical, psychological, emotional, or mental diagnosis.
