When I mention that CranioSacral Therapy is one of the modalities I offer, I’m usually met with a confused face followed by…
“What did you just say?” 😂
CranioSacral Therapy is actually practised all around the world, but it still tends to get pushed aside into the “woo woo” category.
And sure… Cranio can come with an element of “woo woo” — but really, it’s only as woo woo as you want it to be!
There is also a very real body and nervous system side to what we’re doing.
Think about what happens when you’re stressed or anxious.
Your shoulders start creeping towards your ears. Your neck tightens. You might clench your jaw or start developing headaches.
That stress might be coming from your job, your family, something happening in your life, or something completely outside of your control.
We can absolutely address the physical tightness with massage — and you all know I love doing that! 😂
But with Cranio, we’re looking at things a little differently.
Instead of only focusing on where you’re feeling the tension, CranioSacral Therapy uses very gentle touch and works with the nervous system and the body as a whole. It can give your body the space to settle, process and become more aware of the patterns it may be holding onto — including how it responds when similar stressful situations come up again.
And here’s the thing…
If all you get out of your Cranio session is an hour of pure relaxation, when your body hasn’t experienced that kind of stillness in a very long time — I’ve done my job.
If you walk out a little confused, wondering “What the hell just happened?” 😂 and suddenly asking questions about what’s actually going on in your body — I’ve done my job.
If you walk out feeling like you’re floating, calm and completely at ease — I’ve done my job.
Because there really isn’t one particular way you’re supposed to experience Cranio.
For me, a huge part of it is simply helping you become more aware of your body, your nervous system and what they might be trying to tell you.
Some sessions are deeply relaxing.
Some make you curious.
Some can bring things to your attention that you hadn’t even realised you were holding onto.
And sometimes you just lie there thinking, “Felicity has barely touched me for an hour and somehow I feel amazing.” 😂
It really is a wonderful modality, and one that I absolutely love offering.
So whether you think CranioSacral Therapy sounds fascinating, scientific, a little bit woo woo, or you still have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about…
I encourage you to try it at least once.
Woo woo or not. 😉
