Bioenergetic Cranial-sacral Balancing
There are several approaches to cranial-sacral balancing. As a practitioner of energywork, not as a massage therapist (although I was one for 12 years), I endeavor to provide the lightest touch to "listen" and recalibrate the body's rhythms, structures, and connective tissues. This light touch therapy is about the same pressure as the weight of a nickel on your fingertip.
​
The primary listening stations are the lumbo-sacral plexus, respiratory diaphragm, thoracic outlet (upper chest and back), occipital ridge of the cranium, temples, forehead, ears, and temporal mandibular joint (jaw).
​
The subtle touch does not tickle; it elicits a natural release of tension and a whole new level of awareness. In just a few sessions this begins a process of realignment and balancing of the cranial-sacral rhythm and musculoskeletal structures.
​
The session is quiet and relaxing, and many clients go into a twilight sleep during the treatment. Relief of pain and stiffness are often resolved in one to three sessions. Although chronic pain and trauma-related injury can take much longer to heal, pain relief that lasts up to few days or weeks is quite worth the investment.
Bioenergetic Cranial-sacral balancing pairs well with reiki, since reiki flows naturally and freely from my hands when they are on the body, but it is highly effective as its own treatment.
​
During the session, the client is fully clothed and lays on a treatment table with soft music playing in the background. Essential oils and plant essences may be offered to comfort or enhance the treatment.
