Craniosacral Therapy is an exceptionally gentle yet very powerful form of treatment which uses gentle, educated touch to interact with the deepest inherent healing forces within the body, facilitating integration of the whole body-mind. The body has a powerful self-healing potential which can be encouraged in order to counteract the effect of injury, disease, trauma or stress. Craniosacral therapy offers the creation of a safe space where these kinds of challenges can be processed and the body’s natural affinity towards health re-ignited.
At the first session there will be a detailed and sensitive discussion of your history and your reasons for coming for craniosacral therapy. During the treatment you 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 (musculoskeletal, nervous, lymphatic, cardiovascular, fascia) as well as engage with and encourage the subtler energetic rhythms of the body to encourage a sense of wholeness, ease and flow.
In essence I listen to my clients’ bodies with my hands in a similar way that a talking therapist would listen to their words. It is common to feel deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, a sense of ease, increased energy and a sense of feeling more alive, balanced and heard in the truest sense of the word.

Where appropriate Andrew uses breathwork and trauma skills in his practice with his clients.
