The Session

We start with a discussion of your needs, then your case history and a description of the therapy if you're new to it. I'll answer any questions you may have. We then proceed to the couch. The therapy is done fully clothed (loose trousers or leggings are preferable to a skirt/dress). I start with several gentle holds to evaluate your body. The treatment proceeds around the body, head and spine with more light holds. Occasionally I may use deeper pressure, hold a limb in a certain position position, discuss what is going on for you, and possibly work with some imagery if you feel comfortable to do so. It may be appropriate to finish with a few minutes of energy work. Then I'll re-evaluate your body. The most common experience for my clients is of deep relaxation, having brief passing experiences of emotional or physical pain, seeing colours, and having feelings of joy, energy and bliss. If working with imagery is appropriate, this can sometimes to lead to some deeper emotional release during the session. With time to talk before and after, a session from my home will last 1 to 2 hours. In clinics my sessions are restricted to an hour, with an extra half hour for evaluation in your first session. At the end of the session one is usually left feeling very relaxed (and surprised at how quickly time has passed)! I would suggest a short break before working heavy machinery or driving far.

Upledger Craniosacral Training

Where massage works to release tension and miss-alignment in the muscles, and osteopathy and chiropractics; in the bone structure, craniosacral therapy works to release tension in the fascia: the body's connective tissue.
Fascia is the ‘glue' that holds all muscles, bones, ligaments, organs and skin together, and supports the nerve, blood and lymph vessels travelling between these. Over our lives, injury, illness, and our physical and emotional enviroment can leave tension and distortions in our fascia. Upledger Craniosacral Therapy training teaches how to feel for these impactions, and methods designed to ease them and bring the bodies awareness into those areas in a way that triggers the bodies natural self healing and integration processes. The aim of releasing these impactions is to improve structural integrity, create a healthy enviroment for individual organs, the nervous and circulatory system, and release some emotional conditioning.
