HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

This may depend on a number of things. When individuals with chronic health issues seek my support, I usually suggest a course of at least 6 sessions on a weekly (or near-weekly) basis initially, to give a fair picture of your response to the therapy. It can take a few sessions to access deeper levels of healing. Some health conditions may need ongoing therapeutic support over a period of time. Clients may come with a specific issue that may only take a few sessions to resolve. While other clients come in for a 'Craniosacral-tune-up' when they feel the need, as part of their regular health maintenance, every 3-8 weeks or so. You will probably know how often you need to come for treatment, based on your life circumstances, needs and health goals.

DO YOU OFFER CONCESSIONS?

I believe that healing work should be accessible to everyone regardless of circumstances. I have a limited number of sessions available each week on a concession basis, for people receiving state benefits. Please contact me to enquire about my current availability.

THE TOUCH YOU USE IS SO LIGHT AND GENTLE. CAN SOMETHING THAT SUBTLE REALLY RELEASE TENSION?

Great question. While many massage techniques rely on deep pressure to release muscular tension, craniosacral therapy takes a different approach. Instead of pushing or forcing change, we use light touch to invite the body to release at its own pace.

In fact, deep pressure can sometimes trigger a guarding response in the tissues, especially in sensitive or dysregulated systems. Gentle touch, on the other hand, communicates safety and presence to the nervous system. It helps shift the body into a parasympathetic state, the “rest and restore” mode where true healing and deep relaxation can occur.

Our skin contains specialised mechanoreceptors that are finely tuned to detect even the lightest pressure. These receptors send signals to the brain that help regulate sensation, emotion, and nervous system responses making them especially responsive to the kind of subtle, intentional contact used in craniosacral work.

CAN I GET A SAME DAY APPOINTMENT?

If you are in urgent need of a Craniosacral therapy appointment, it is worth contacting me directly (my mobile number is 07711939093), I can sometimes open up extra spots on my scheduled clinic days. Treatments cannot be booked online at short notice, but if you contact me directly I can book you in if I have space.

CAN I BOOK A CRANIOSACRAL SESSION ONLINE?

Yes, you can book a session online in Somerton as well as directly with me. New clients are required to pay before attending the first session. Existing clients may use the online booking system without entering payment details.
