Craniosacral Therapy

Lynn was a Lecturer at Bristol University and has over 20 years experience in counselling and therapy. Hence her special skills lie working with babies, children and their families. Craniosacral Therapy releases deep seated patterns of tension and encourages the body’s ability for self healing. It consists of a gentle listening touch and is both diagnostic and therapeutic. Treatments work to strengthen the body’s natural immune system, helping to treat a range of conditions and improving the quality of life.

Craniosacral Therapy uses gentle touch to encourage the body to let go of tension patterns of trauma and stress at deep levels. This enables a greater freedom within the body tissues for health and well-being, and can relieve a wide range of conditions. Craniosacral treatment is particularly effective in the treatment of birth trauma in babies, helping with conditions including sleeping difficulties, colic and allergies, and enhancing healthy growth.

Craniosacral sessions are particularly effective for young children. It’s often the case that an infant is upset and unwell, but diagnosis and treatment can become difficult. Using Craniosacral Therapy, an infant’s body can be encouraged to heal itself naturally, without any invasive tests or treatments. Most importantly, the infant will not become irritated by repeated intervention.
