My Personal Journey

I didn’t expect Cranio-Sacral Therapy to change my life - but it truly did…

I arrived to the therapy seeking symptom relief. What I found instead was a quiet awakening - stillness, renewal, and a return to self that I thought lost.

I first encountered cranio-sacral therapy after the traumatic birth of my son. He'd been in intensive care and we had been separated for some time. The therapist who treated us acknowledged something I already sensed: our nervous systems were still functioning as one.

She treated him while I breastfed, supporting his diaphragm, stomach and head. She then treated me for my pelvic pain, mastitis, and postnatal exhaustion. At first, the treatment seemed meditative - like entering a space where time moved differently. I saw colours and dropped into gentle waves of stillness that I hadn't accessed since childhood. It was the first time I felt truly tended to in a long time both physically and emotionally.

Throughout my children's early years, I returned to cranio-sacral therapy at key developmental transitions. However, it wasn't until my own health declined significantly that cranio-sacral therapy became something more than supportive. It became my essential.

I arrived carrying years of accumulated stress and fatigue, having lived in a hypervigilant state for so long. There was no agenda, no digging - just deep listening.

Over time, I realised this wasn't just relaxing. It was returning.

I began to feel like myself again - not the exhausted surface-self that was just managing to cope, but the whole person I remembered from before. Old parts of me stirred - strong, intuitive, present.

Cranio-sacral therapy helped me exit survival mode gently. My system softened. Pain and fatigue began to lift. I began to feel pleasure again. Creativity returned. A quiet desire to plan, connect, and create began to stir.

It was after one particularly profound session that I felt drawn to train in cranio-sacral therapy myself. The experience was both physiological and spiritual. I left the table changed. From the first time I placed my hands on someone's head during training, I knew this work would never be about technique alone. The tissues speak. The body remembers. I was astonished by what I could feel - not just bone and fascia, but emotion, image, story, stillness.

What continues to amaze me is how often the body knows what to do — once it's given the space to remember. Together, with nervous systems of therapist and client in coherence, we can connect with our essential nature, with stillness, with something ancient and wise. People return subtly changed - clearer, softer, more themselves. 

As a practitioner, I hold space informed by nervous system science and the presence I've cultivated through my own healing and training. What I know is this: cranio-sacral therapy changes people. Gently. Quietly. Often below the level of language. It supports the system to reorganise from within - not through force, but through stillness, safety, and connection.

To offer this work - to sit in deep attunement with another and support the body in doing what it already knows how to do - is the greatest privilege of my life.

In a world shaped by urgency, overwhelm, and fragmentation, this kind of work is radical.

This is not about fixing. It's about helping the system re-member itself - returning to its natural intelligence, restoring balance, and gently realigning with life.
