Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is an exceptionally gentle yet very potent form of complementary therapy which supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to replenish your underlying energy.

Using educated, gently mindful touch, and sensitively listening without fixed agendas, CST offers a safe and judgement-free space where the effects of challenges such as injury, disease, trauma and stress can be processed and the body’s natural affinity towards health be reignited.

CST has its roots in osteopathy. People often ask about the name and think it only refers to the head. In fact, CST works with the whole person, and changes may occur in body, mind and spirit during and after the session.

Touch is potent. It is the first language we ‘speak’ and how we discover ourselves, the world around us, and our place in it. Touch is also deeply entwined with our sense of well-being and safety. By helping to calibrate the autonomic nervous system, touch can lower our stress levels, help foster emotional resilience and turn down the volume on pain, trauma and anxiety.

CST practitioners are trained over several years to listen to, encourage and amplify certain subtle rhythms in the body. In my clinical experience, the presence of these rhythms corresponds to a happier, healthier person.

At the first session there will be a detailed and sensitive discussion of your history and your reasons for coming for CST. During the treatment you will remain clothed and will usually lie face-up or on your side on a treatment table. I will gently use my hands to make contact with your body and listen to its various systems and stories.

Because the body functions as a whole, I may focus on areas other than where your symptoms are occurring. It is common to feel deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, as sense of ease, increased energy and a sense of feeling more alive, balanced and heard in the truest sense of the word.

Having a child is one of life’s most profound events. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can help provide support to mothers, partners and babies in this period of physical, emotional and psychological change.

Ante-natal Treatments:

As your body supports, holds, and nurtures your developing baby, CST can provide a calm, welcoming and accepting space where you can be supported, held and nurtured, as well as find relief from minor ailments such as back, shoulder and neck discomfort. 

Baby Treatments:

Birth is a natural process that evolution has designed us to experience, but it is not always easy. It can be a tough transition from womb to the outside world for some little ones and their mums! 

CST can help your baby find more ease and comfort as well as providing an open, welcoming space for them to gently process any residual birth experiences that might still be held in their bodies, or process and release shock from their nervous systems.  

For a deeper exploration of how CST can support mothers and babies through pregnancy, birth and beyond please read my blog post.

There are no set number of sessions. Sometimes people report relief from their symptoms after one or two treatments. For long-standing problems further sessions may be needed, and I may recommend weekly treatments over a longer period, the course of which would be reviewed regularly between us.

Generally I work at Ahead4Therapy in Devizes on Mondays, the 7 Bell Yard, London WC2A on Wednesdays and Bramham Therapy in Marlborough on Fridays. Outside of these clinic times I am able to see clients in my treatment room at my home in West Lavington. In particular circumstances I can also offer home visits to clients in Wiltshire.

My sessions fees are: 

London £80 per hour / Wiltshire £70 per hour. 

I am able to offer reductions to those in full-term education. I also offer discounts on packages of treatment: 5 sessions for the price of 4.5.

Let’s chat! As a therapist with over 10 years of specialised training in anatomy, physiology, trauma work, breathwork, mindfulness and coaching, I bring a holistic, clinically grounded approach to my practice. My extensive experience allows me to deeply understand the body’s complex systems and the profound impact that being embodied has on overall health. By integrating these therapeutic techniques, I offer personalised care that supports not just physical healing but emotional and mental well-being.
