Frequently asked questions
What happens during a craniosacral therapy session?
During a session you remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a treatment table. Gentle hands are placed on different areas of the body such as the head, sacrum, or shoulders. The touch is very light and many people experience deep relaxation, warmth, subtle movement, or a quiet sense of stillness.
How many sessions(BCST) will I need?
Every person is different. Some people feel noticeable changes after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments to support deeper patterns in the body. We can discuss what may be supportive for you during your visit.
What might I feel during treatment(BCST)?
Experiences vary from person to person. Some people feel deeply relaxed or sleepy, while others notice subtle pulsing, warmth, gentle movements in the body, or emotional release. Sometimes the session feels very quiet and still, which can also be a sign that the nervous system is settling.
What can craniosacral therapy help with?
People often seek craniosacral therapy for support with stress, headaches, jaw tension (TMJ), neck and shoulder tension, fatigue, sleep difficulties, and emotional overwhelm. It supports the nervous system and the body’s natural self-regulation.
Do I need to talk during the session?
Not at all. Some people enjoy sharing how they feel during the session, while others prefer to rest quietly. Both are completely welcome. The session is guided by what feels most comfortable for you.
Is craniosacral therapy safe?
Yes. Craniosacral therapy is a very gentle and non-invasive therapy. It works by supporting the body’s natural rhythms rather than forcing change.
Is craniosacral therapy good for stress and nervous system regulation?
Many people seek craniosacral therapy to support their nervous system and manage stress. The gentle approach can help the body shift from a state of “fight or flight” into “rest and repair,” allowing the nervous system to calm and the body to restore balance.
What if I fall asleep during the session?
That’s completely normal. Many people fall asleep because the body enters a deep state of relaxation. Your body can still benefit from the session while resting.
What if emotions come up during a session?
Sometimes the body releases stored tension or emotions as it relaxes. This is a natural part of the healing process. You are always held in a safe and supportive space, and there is no pressure for anything to happen.
Can craniosacral therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many people receive craniosacral therapy alongside other therapies such as massage, physiotherapy, yoga, or counselling. It can be a gentle complement to other approaches that support wellbeing.
How will I feel after the session?
Many people feel deeply relaxed, lighter, or more grounded after a session. Some people may feel sleepy or notice subtle changes in their body over the next day or two as the nervous system continues to integrate the work.
Can craniosacral therapy help with pregnancy discomfort?
Yes. Many pregnant clients find craniosacral therapy supportive for easing common discomforts such as lower back pain, hip tension, pelvic tightness, and overall fatigue. The gentle touch also helps the nervous system relax, which can improve sleep, reduce stress, and support emotional wellbeing throughout pregnancy. Sessions are always adapted for safety and comfort during all stages of pregnancy.
