What is a typical craniosacral session?
It is important for you to know that each session is designed to meet your personal needs and begins with a brief interview. Next, you will get comfortable on the massage table in a quiet darkened room. (No oils are used; no music is played.) Typically I start at your feet and slowly make my way up the body with very gentle touching. I may place my hand under your sacrum, the small triangular bone at the bottom of your back. As I work my way up the body, I stop at places that I feel are "stuck" and give time to those areas to re-organize and release tension. As a neutral mediator I wait silently while you reconnect with your own deep stillness and reorganization, the place of deep healing. (Not all my clients experience the work silently; sometimes we talk about sensations and feelings that arise during the session.) I will touch your head and neck gently and travel back down to your feet where I end. At the conclusion of the session, I allow you time to rest quietly on the table. When you are ready, we will talk and share our thoughts and insights.
Craniosacral Therapy sessions are by appointment only.
Before you arrive:
- Wear loose comfortable clothing
- Avoid perfumes, colognes, or heavy scents in consideration of other sensitive clients.
- Avoid strenuous activities after the session until the next day
- Review personal history of accidents, injuries, falls, etc.
- Plan for a one and a half hour session
