"The body holds the story of everything you've lived through"

If you've found your way here, you may be carrying something your body hasn't been able to put down. Perhaps it's chronic pain or fatigue that no one has been able to explain. Perhaps it's anxiety, or a nervous system that hasn't felt settled in years. Perhaps you're a mother whose baby is struggling, and your instincts are telling you something needs to shift. Or perhaps you simply sense that what you're carrying lives somewhere deeper than words can reach.

Craniosacral therapy works at that deeper level. Through gentle, attentive touch, safety is communicated to your nervous system. At the heart of this work is the vagus nerve (responsible for communicating safety to every major organ in your body, and for bringing your system out of survival mode and back into balance). When the nervous system is stuck in survival mode, rest feels impossible and the body can't do what it most needs to do. Craniosacral therapy helps it to find its way back. Working with the craniosacral system (the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and nourish the brain and spinal cord) I listen through touch to subtle rhythms in the body, releasing restrictions that may be holding your body in patterns of stress, pain or protection.

This is not work that fixes from the outside. It listens from within, and in that listening, something begins to shift.

CST creates conditions of deep rest and stillness in which your body can begin to do what it already knows how to do. Rest. Regulate. Heal.

Sessions are often quieter than people expect. There may be long periods of stillness. That stillness is not an absence, it is the work itself. Rather than applying techniques to your body, I follow what your system is already trying to do. You may not leave with a clear narrative of what happened. But something will have moved.

CONDITIONS SUPPORTED

I work with adults, children and babies across Somerset with a particular focus on nervous system health, chronic illness support and trauma recovery.

I can support you with:

Chronic illness and fatigue - supporting the body's own capacity to regulate and recover

Anxiety, overwhelm and chronic stress - when the nervous system has forgotten how to settle

Nervous system regulation

Birth Trauma Recovery for Mothers and Babies

Trauma, Shock and Injury Recovery - whether recent or long held in the body

Times of transition - grief, life change and the sense that something needs to shift
