Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on treatment where the practitioner helps the client relax through soothing holds. This can help the client break free from old physical and mental habits, leading to benefits like improved relaxation, less pain, and better overall health. Originally created by a group of Osteopaths, this therapy focuses on providing gentle support rather than force, allowing the body to heal itself. We practice and are qualified in the Biodynamic method of Craniosacral Therapy which really emphasises the importance of not placing any manipulative forces, stresses, or resistances upon the body and instead utilises the body’s natural healing abilities, it’s gentleness is its strength!

The non-invasive techniques help the body release tension, balance the nervous system, and promote deep relaxation. This gentle therapy supports the body’s natural healing, potentially benefiting various health issues. Regular Craniosacral Therapy can lead to improved health and resilience against stress and illness. It can alleviate pain and discomfort by improving body function and relieving tensions. However, it’s important to note that pain reduction or other benefits cannot be guaranteed, and this therapy should complement your doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan.

Your Craniosacral Therapy session will take place in a peaceful and private room. After a quick introduction and payment (via card), we'll chat about how you're feeling today. Then, you’ll lie on a comfortable massage table, removing only your shoes, and we’ll make sure you’re cozy with blankets and soft music. You can keep your eyes open or closed—whatever feels best for you.

The session usually starts with gentle holds on the head, shoulders, or feet. As we begin, you might be invited to take a few deep breaths. The holds are tailored to your body’s needs in the moment, focusing on what will bring the most balance and relaxation. You can share any sensations you feel, but we encourage you to stay focused on your body and relaxation during the session.

Depending on how your body responds, you might experience just one hold or up to five. The number of holds doesn’t affect the session's benefits, what matters is the quality of the experience. Before moving to a new position, we’ll check in with you to make sure you're comfortable. If anything feels uncomfortable, just let us know, and we’ll adjust to ensure your comfort.

At the end of the session, we’ll have a brief chat about how it felt for you, and share any thoughts or suggestions. The session lasts 55 minutes, so we have time to reset the room before the next client. If you have any questions afterward, feel free to reach out via WhatsApp or Email, and we’ll be happy to help.

During a Craniosacral Therapy session, you might notice a variety of sensations, and each session is likely to feel different. As your body relaxes and releases tension, you may feel more at ease, but it's important to remember that the goal of this therapy is not to create pleasure, but to restore balance and health. This process can sometimes bring up emotions or sensations, especially if the therapy is helping to release past physical or emotional trauma.

The treatment is always gentle and supportive, with no physical manipulation, so the holds should never feel uncomfortable. The goal is to create a safe and calming environment where your body can naturally let go of stress. After a few sessions, most clients start to notice a rhythm to how things unfold and find the therapy very nourishing and restorative. Many look forward to their sessions because they find them so relaxing.

Most people enjoy this type of gentle touch, but for a few, it might feel a little unfamiliar, especially if there’s a history of disconnection from physical touch. That's why the first session is just £10 – a small way to see if this therapy is a good fit for you.

If you find that Craniosacral Therapy isn’t quite right for you, that’s completely okay! There are plenty of other therapies available that might be a better match. But for many people, this work is deeply relaxing and unlike anything they've experienced before.

We’re committed to providing the best care at affordable rates. This is a low-cost clinic, designed to help as many people as possible access Craniosacral Therapy. While other practitioners may charge between £50 and £120 per session (not an indication of quality of treatment), our pricing is intentionally lower to make treatment more accessible for those with limited income.

Our goal is to keep prices affordable, with only a small increase of up to £2 per year to ensure continued access for all. We believe everyone should have the chance to benefit from this healing therapy.

Sharing the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy is easy—and rewarding! If you’ve enjoyed your sessions and think a friend or family member could benefit too, simply refer them to us.

Here’s how it works:

1. Tell Your Friend: Let your friend know about your experience and encourage them to visit this site and book their first session with us.

2. Introductory Session: Once your friend books their session (only £10), have them mention your name during this session.

3. Both Save: As a thank you for referring someone, you’ll both receive a £10 discount on your next session!

It’s our way of saying thank you for helping us spread the word. We’re excited to welcome new clients to experience the healing benefits of Craniosacral Therapy - and it’s always better when shared with friends!

No need to stress about preparing! Just come as you are, but aim for comfort. Loose, relaxed clothing is best, as you’ll be lying on your back on a massage table. It’s a good idea to avoid tight belts or jeans, but if you’re coming straight from work in your uniform, don’t worry—we can work around it.

To feel your best, try to avoid a heavy meal right before your session. A light snack is fine if you’re feeling hungry.

It can also help to take a little time to unwind before your session—reading a book (not social media!), going for a short walk, or listening to calming music are great options. This isn’t required, but it may help you feel even more relaxed during your session.

If you have any questions before your appointment, feel free to schedule a free Zoom call or send us a WhatsApp message or email and we will be happy to help you prepare!

Craniosacral Therapy supports the body’s natural healing process by helping restore balance and release old patterns of tension. By bringing the body into a state of balance (or ‘homeostasis’), this therapy can help improve overall health and well-being. It’s important to know that Craniosacral Therapy isn’t a substitute for seeing a doctor. If you have medical concerns, it’s always a good idea to get advice from your GP first. Craniosacral Therapy works gently alongside any ongoing care or other forms of treatment.

This type of therapy works with the whole body, not just specific areas of pain or discomfort. While we can focus on areas that are causing you discomfort (as long as the touch doesn’t cause pain), the benefits of the therapy might show up in unexpected ways. For example, if you’re dealing with digestive issues, you might first notice your shoulders feel less tense, or you might wake up feeling more refreshed and energised. These shifts are signs that the body is finding balance, and this often leads to deeper healing.

We will never guarantee that the therapy will cure any condition, and you should be particularly sceptical of anyone who makes this claim. This is a very effective therapy which can support a wide variety of physical and mental conditions and it is common for people to experience huge benefits even when the client has tried many other ways of working in the past that did not provide results.

The best way to find out if it’s right for you is to try it. That’s why your first session is just £10 — it’s a great way to get a feel for the therapy and see if it’s something you’d like to continue. There’s no pressure to continue after your first session. If you decide it’s not for you, that’s perfectly okay. If you have any questions or would like to chat more about how Craniosacral Therapy might help you, feel free to reach out for a free call on Zoom.

The number of Craniosacral Therapy sessions you’ll need really depends on your individual situation. Everyone’s body is starting from a different place and many people’s health goals differ (from light relief to deep connection). That said, many people find significant benefits after around 10 sessions. While there's no guarantee, it's quite rare that someone wouldn’t feel some improvement after that many sessions (I’ve personally never seen it happen!).

However, the number of sessions you book is entirely up to you. There’s no pressure to commit to a certain number of sessions. You can schedule as you go and decide what feels right for you. Here are a few examples of how different people might approach their treatment:

Client 1 – Back Pain & Sleep Issues
A client with chronic back pain and sleep troubles started therapy after trying various treatments with limited success. Over several months, they gradually reduced their pain and were eventually able to sleep through the night. They now come in for occasional sessions when needed, like after overexertion, but no longer need regular sessions.

Client 2 – Anxiety & Mental Wellbeing
A client came to therapy feeling anxious and overwhelmed after a difficult divorce. After about 8 sessions, they felt much lighter, more optimistic, and in control of their life again. They decided they no longer needed regular sessions and were able to continue their progress on their own.

Client 3 – Stress & IBS
A client struggling with a busy career with stress and IBS found relief over 10 sessions. She felt her energy levels rise and her symptoms decrease, and now sees Craniosacral Therapy as a regular part of her self-care routine, coming in weekly to maintain balance and well-being.

As you can see, every story is different. Some people might need only a few sessions, while others might find it helpful to continue longer. The beauty of Craniosacral Therapy is that it’s very individualised – you’ll always be supported in making the choices that feel best for you.

After your session, there’s nothing specific you need to do, but the effects can continue for a few days. It's helpful to stay relaxed, give yourself space to rest, and be present with whatever comes up. Drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep can support your healing.

A key part of the therapy is identifying what helps you feel supported, known as your ‘resources’. This could be simple activities that make you feel good, like spending time with friends, enjoying a relaxing bath, or dancing. Building a collection of personal resources is important for your overall well-being. Below are some ideas to inspire you, but remember, everyone’s resources are different—find what works best for you, and take it one step at a time!

Nature: Spending time outside can help you feel grounded and peaceful. Whether it's a walk in the countryside, a visit to the beach, or a forest walk, connecting with nature often leads to better sleep and feeling more balanced.

Reading or Audiobooks: Reading helps you unwind, away from the fast pace of social media. Audiobooks are great for relaxing, too. Try books that focus on uplifting fiction or calm and contentment, like Solve for Happy or The Power of Now.

Meditation: A meditation practice helps to increase your awareness, which in turn change your relationship with your thoughts so there is more space and less compulsive reaction or inner turmoil. This inner turmoil has a huge impact on just about every system in the body and is often a key blocker to the body being able to calm and healing to occur. This is why ‘mindful based practices’ are now some of the most common treatments being recommended by GPs to those with mental health issues. Finding an experienced teacher from a meditative tradition can be the most fruitful way of developing a meditation practice, however it is something you can certainly start by yourself. The ‘insight timer’ app includes many free audio meditations suitable for beginners, the ’Sadhguru’ app has an ‘Isha Kriya’ meditation which is a great practice, this ‘Just be’ meditation is also a really worthwhile practice. Body awareness meditations are also particularly helpful for Craniosacral Therapy as they help to train a level of embodiment and awareness whilst calming the mind. Many people enjoy the ‘Calm’ app, which is worth a try, however some of the exercises are not meditations in the classical sense and can be oriented more to falling asleep, not becoming more aware and so will yield different results.

Yoga: Just as meditation can working with the mind to impact the body, these are methods of working with the body which can impact the mind. As physical tensions are released and the body is able to move around with more gentle fluid ease, the mind will also reflect a more calm nature. Yoga is a rich tradition and there are many forms of practice, it’s worthwhile trying a few different styles and teachers until you find one that resonates with you. For those who want a basic practice based on classical yoga there are some great yoga exercises working with the breath and body in the Sadhguru app including many exercises for the spine, neck and breath which will be very helpful.

Breathwork: Working with the breath can calm the mind as when the breath is slow, relaxed and deep, the mind takes on a more relaxed pattern (notice what happens to your breath when you are stressed). Another good resource is the ‘one deep breath’ app where you can practice slow relaxed breathing – within this the basic free relax, focus, and sleep breathing styles are the best ones to try. There are many other forms of breathing exercise which are more exertive and can involve holding the breath for longer periods of time, this is not recommended for people new to this and can in itself cause medical issues when done without a qualified teacher. However learning to breath a little more deeply and in a more relaxed way without holding the breath is the way forward and people can engage in this practice without a risk to their health.

Exercise: Regular movement is important for your health. It doesn’t have to be intense - gentle walking, swimming, or stretching can do wonders for your well-being. It is also useful to do work relating to soft movements, placing the joints and spine through a full fluid range of motion. Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung/Qi Gong, and general joint work like intuflow are very helpful practices for this. People also gain many benefits from related physical practices like Pilates which you may enjoy.

Nutrition: Eating well helps fuel your body. Focus on fresh, whole foods like vegetables, and avoid heavily processed foods. It's not about restriction but finding balance for your body and nourishing it appropriately.

Herbs and Supplements: Traditional practices like Ayurveda or Chinese medicine use gentle herbs that support health. They can complement other treatments and bring balance to your body.

Fasting: Many yogic and healing traditions have used fasting to improve health over the centuries. This has huge restorative benefits on the system as once the digestive tract is empty it is able to heal and regenerate. A good book exploring the science behind this is ‘Eat Stop Eat’, which recommends a 24 hour water fast once or twice a week for health. There are many other protocols for fasting, another common one is intermittent fasting whereby a daily ‘eating window’ is assigned which is usually around 7-8 hours, this provides some time for the digestive tract to rest and repair daily. Longer fasts than 36 hours would not be recommended to anyone who has not had a lot of fasting experience or without a doctor’s approval. Healing traditions also often include ‘mental fasting’ as a form of fasting whereby you restrict certain activities (such as restricting phone or social media usages to hours of the day) and restricting thoughts that can disturb the mind and body. This will obviously have a different result to physical fasting but both can be very beneficial in their own way.

Group Activities: Connecting with others through group activities, like a hobby class or sports, can be a great way to feel supported and uplifted. Find a group that resonates with you and make time for it. Meetup.com is a good resource to find these groups, along with community centers and local noticeboards.

Helping Others: Volunteering or caring for others, whether through charity work or simply helping a friend, can be healing for you as well. It shifts focus and often brings a lighter outlook as our own life situation is less dominant in our thoughts when involved in this type of activity. If you have free time in the week, it’s a great practice to volunteer with a local charity or group, and you will be benefiting others along the way. People also get a lot of benefit from caring for a pet which may be more manageable for some people.

Take your time finding what works best for you. The most important thing is to be kind to yourself and nurture your well-being in ways that feel good.

Yes, we are fully trained to work with infants and children!

Craniosacral Therapy can be very helpful for babies, as they respond well to gentle touch, which helps them relax and feel safe. Sessions with babies are different from those with adults and may involve some movement and the parent being involved in the holds to provide extra comfort, security and familiarity.

Children and young adults can also benefit from this therapy, especially if they’re willing to lie still for short periods. For anyone under 18, a legal guardian must be present throughout the session to ensure the child feels safe and the treatment is appropriate.

If you’d like to know more about how Craniosacral Therapy could help your infant or child, we offer a free video consultation. It’s a great opportunity for both you and your child to ask questions and decide if this therapy is right for you!

If you can’t find an available time, don’t worry! Just reach out to us via WhatsApp or email, and we’ll let you know as soon as more spaces open up or if there are any cancellations.

As a low-cost clinic, there may be times when demand is higher than availability. However, we regularly have clients finishing their treatment, which creates more space on the schedule. We’re also working on adding more slots over time to meet demand, but this will be done gradually. Sessions are released for booking five weeks ahead and are on a first-come, first-served basis.

Feel free to contact us, and we’ll keep you updated!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us via WhatsApp or email. You can also book a free video consultation through this link, where we'll be happy to chat about the therapy and help you decide if it's right for you (no pressure at all).
