What is Craniosacral Bodywork?

One of my most favorite things in the world! I’ll tell you why. Craniosacral encompasses the bones and membranes of our body that make up out nervous system — the brain (cranio) and spine (sacral aspect).

It’s a way of working with the body in an extremely gentle, slow and safe way to see, hold and open up for change. To have a way to work with (emotional, physical - including sexual, mental and spiritual) trauma, anxieties, stress, illnesses, even long haul covid syptoms without having to dive deep in the analytical realm that talk therapy tends to tackle.

While words, conversation and tracing the roots of our larger struggles can be a huge part of healing, our body stores so much of these stories on a cellular level. A great book for this is Resmaa Menakem’s My Grandmother’s Hands

When a traumatic event happens—no matter how big or small—especially in our younger years, these stories can crystallize in our bodies, like toxins do. So, craniosacral helps to release these toxins, if you will, without having to do anything!

This is done with a very light tough and long holds to access and communicate with the body to allow for the Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) to flow with greater ease in the body.

My teacher, Etienne Piersman bridges mechanical and byodynamic practices of craniosacral therapy.
