CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch, hands-on method of listening to the craniosacral system for places where the body could benefit from various gentle techniques. This gentle traction and compression can release the body from pain as well as trapped emotions.

Our bodies are conductive and even with some of the most simple techniques, you might think “You are barely touching me, how can this possibly be effective?” This light touch allows the therapist’s nervous system to assist your nervous system to release and relax.

The techniques in this method release restrictions in the connective tissues of the body impacting a number of conditions and helping people with an array of health challenges related to pain and dysfunction.

Mouthwork techniques are especially helpful for TMJ issues, migraines/headaches, and concussions. The work can be especially effective for babies and children experiencing ear aches, torticollis, strabismus, difficulty latching, and pre and post tongue tie release.
