Restore your body’s rhythm, revitalize your life
Unlock your body’s natural healing abilities with Craniosacral Therapy
Wish there was a therapy that could “hear” your body’s subtle messages to locate and heal the core of physical discomfort or emotional turbulence?
Good news. Craniosacral (aka cranial sacral or CST) is that therapy. A gentle, yet effective treatment that goes beyond the surface to understand what your body is communicating and nurture it’s innate ability to heal and restore itself – physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
How? Your body has a craniosacral rhythm, a subtle ebb and flow of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord that can be felt throughout the body. Injuries and stress from everyday life disrupts this rhythm, creating blockages that lead to anxiety, illness, or pain.
By applying gentle touch to specific areas of the head, spine, and pelvis, CST therapists facilitate the release of obstructed areas. As the body’s rhythm is restored, it calms the nervous system and encourages natural healing and detoxification processes.
Craniosacral therapy can be highly effective for:
- Migraines and headaches
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Whiplash and other neck/spine injuries
- Sleep disorders
- Chronic pain (such as fibromyalgia)
- Neck, back, and pelvic pain
- Repetitive-use injuries (such as tennis elbow)
- TMJ dysfunction
- Anxiety and depression
- Developmental and behavioral concerns in children
- And more!
A science-driven path to wellness
Your craniosacral system is a dynamic network of the cranial bones, membranes, sacrum, and cerebrospinal fluid that cushions your brain and spinal cord. Delicate yet robust, this system plays a pivotal role in maintaining the balance of your central nervous system – influencing everything from nerve function to stress levels.
The heart of Craniosacral Therapy lies in understanding the profound relationship between these two systems.
Imagine your body as a violin. When the strings (your craniosacral rhythm) is “out of tune,” it can affect the “music” (or functioning of your central nervous system) – leading to physical and emotional imbalance. The harmony between the two is crucial.
As CST balances your craniosacral system, guiding it back to its natural pace, it’s no wonder studies show long-lasting pain relief and improved quality of life when receiving this treatment.
We invite you to experience the delicate touch of cranial therapy that is paving the way for renewed health and vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Expect During a Craniosacral Therapy Session?
Next, your therapist will typically start by resetting the flow of fluid within the craniosacral system itself. This takes approximately 10-20 seconds and allows the system to reorganize and pause briefly (if needed). This pause is referred to as a Still Point and signals the body to activate functions of healing, rest, and integration, while down-regulating the stress response of fight or flight.
Your therapist will continue your session by using soft touches (no more than the weight of a nickel) on various points throughout your body to release restrictions in the soft tissue surrounding each area.
You may feel a tingling sensation in one or more areas as fluids begin to flow freely throughout your body. You may even fall asleep due to the deeply relaxing nature of this treatment.
Can Craniosacral Therapy Be Used in Conjunction With Other Treatments?
Yes, CST is often used as a complementary therapy alongside other treatments. It can enhance the effectiveness of physical therapy, massage, and other therapeutic practices.
