Our bodies are good at signalling that something is wrong, in that our symptoms are often an expression of what’s going on inside us ..
So it can be really helpful to work more directly with the body, with the stuff we hold unconsciously that is coming to the surface, both Craniosacral therapy and Reiki can do this.
Both Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki are gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy that uses light touch. Through light touch, deep listening and a relationship with stillness the practitioner listens and responds to subtle patterns and changes within the body, working with the whole person without manipulation or force.
Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki creat an opportunity for the body to settle, rebalance and reset, allowing change to emerge from within and at its own pace. People often describe the experience as an opportunity to reconnect with themselves and feel more at home in their own body.
What happens during a session?
Your first appointment will usually begin with a conversation about your health, wellbeing and the reasons for your visit. You’ll remain clothed and either lie on a treatment table or sit, whichever is more comfortable for you. There’s no manipulation or force involved; your practitioner listens through touch, and responds only to what they notice. Many people find sessions deeply relaxing, but relaxation is a by-product of the approach, not the whole of it: throughout, your practitioner is actively engaged, skilled and attentive. Sessions typically last around 60 minutes.
During a typical session, you can expect to:
Talk
