craniosacral therapy in brighton and hove
I offer a gentle, hands-on, non-invasive yet effective approach, working with the body’s natural capacity for self repair, to treat a wide range of conditions. It often helps those suffering chronic symptoms that haven’t been aided by other approaches.
About me
My career as a therapist began in the healing clinic at the College of Psychic Studies, where I have been a tutor on the accredited healing course. I qualified as a holistic massage therapist (MTI) in 2008. My continuing passion for finding new ways to help my clients attracted me to Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy. I qualified after a two year training (BCST) with Body Intelligence, global leaders in this field. My experience of energy work and bodywork inevitably inform my approach to this ground breaking form of natural healing. I am also qualified in the therapeutic use of mindfulness by the British Mindfulness Institute and a member of the Craniosacral Therapy Association (RCST).
As a therapist, I am trained to feel and monitor changes in the body's tissues. I follow these changes as they occur and encourage the body's natural priorities for change to arise, rather than directing the process. This is the main difference between craniosacral therapy and other types of bodywork.
I believe the body has an innate wisdom and intelligence which will, given the right conditions, organise the forces of health to find the best resolution to any problem (emotional or physical) arising in your body. As a therapist I have an intention only to create those conditions, rather than impose my own diagnosis and solution.
This method can help with stress-related issues like insomnia, fatigue, headaches, digestion problems, and anxiety. It can also assist with psychological, emotional, and physical trauma, as well as injuries to the head, neck, back, or joints. Ultimately, I focus on treating the person, not just their symptoms.
