What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy (or BCST) is a gentle form of bodywork that uses light touch within a calm environment. It combines body awareness and therapeutic support.
Sessions in Castlemaine
I offer one hour sessions as well as 45-minute introductory sessions to help new clients try the therapy. An 8-session embodiment program is available for clients wishing to develop their body awareness in everyday life.
Embodiment and therapy
Embodiment is a fascinating aspect of the mind-body relationship. It describes the fundamental way our experience is generated. Embodiment practices can help us to influence our experience by working with body feelings and sensations.
Biodynamic cranisosacral therapy can help to regulate your nervous system
People suffering from the effects of trauma, anxiety and stress can experience improved emotion regulation and deep relaxation from biodynamic craniosacral therapy.
This therapy can also be particularly useful for chronic, systemic problems affecting the nervous or immune systems, as it supports the body to gradually heal itself.
BCST has a strong orientation towards finding the health rather than the disease in a person. It can have a profoundly resourcing effect on both the body and mind.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is safe and calming
People often choose biodynamic craniosacral therapy because it can work safely with long held emotional and physical issues, while engendering feelings of peace, calm and connectedness.
The gentleness and subtlety of bcst can be a relief for those who are very sensitive and easily overwhelmed.
Learning to be with your own body and your own experience can build skills and resilience that extend into everyday life.
