Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle but powerful form of bodywork derived from osteopathic manipulation which encourages relaxation through gentle touch and therapeutic witness. Treated areas include the cranium, sacrum, joints, muscles, and fascia. It works to balance autonomic function, specifically reducing sympathetic tone and relaxing structures restricted by tension patterns.

Dr. Zoë uses CST as part of a comprehensive plan to support digestive concerns, migraines, anxiety and depression, sleep issues, hypermobility, fatigue, and chronic pain.

  • Headaches, neck pain, back pain, joint pain, muscle tension

What does a session look like?

Your session is conducted fully clothed, lying face up, comfortably supported on a treatment table. Dr. Zoë incorporates mindfulness based guided visualization practices during the session to support body awareness, relaxation, and stress resilience. The session may also be done in silence with attention gently focused on the body or breath. During or after a session you may feel calm and energized, present in your body, a sense of mental clarity, improved sleep, improved pain tolerance, and overall wellbeing.
