Cornwall Craniosacral

Cornwall Craniosacral Biodynamic craniosacral therapy by Doremi Hayward Vaardal, trained at the Karuna Institute, Devon. My commitment is to presence and compassion.

My name is Doremi Hayward Vaardal and I am a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, I trained at the Karuna Institute in Devon with Franklyn Sillls and graduated in 2012. My journey to become a Craniosacral Therapist began as a client and I still attend my own therapist regularly to maintain balanced health. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle and non invasive modality that works to encourage the innate

health and well being that exists within us all. My focus is not on fixing or eliminating the symptoms my clients may feel but rather working towards allowing the clients own body to resolve the causes of these symptoms. Craniosacral Therapy is a profound and gentle form of bodywork, it is able to address the client on both a physical and emotional level and as such can be extremely valuable in allowing fixed patterns within the body to begin to shift by working with the inherent wisdom within the system of every client. I work by listening through my hands to the flow of fluids, the matrix of tissues and the scaffolding of bones that comprises the body. In so doing the clients body can show me areas of compression, torsion or coagulation and we can work together to allow space and stillness in order for these to release. What to expect:
Each session lasts approximately one hour during which the client lies fully clothed on my treatment table as I place my hands lightly on them. During the first session with a new client I will take a case history and discuss any symptoms. Cost:
Adult sessions are £40 and children are £30

Who can it help:
Craniosacral therapy is excellent for dissipating acute and chronic pain and symptoms that may have been endured for many years such as back pain and migraine. It can help to support those suffering through serious illness and treatment by providing space for the body to find stillness. It reduces stress and increases a well being and can help with low lying but ongoing issues such as insomnia, muscle and joint pain in addition to unresolved physical and emotional trauma. Craniosacral therapy supports the nervous system as a whole by improving the flow of cerebral spinal fluid so that the brain and spinal cord are well lubricated - we all know what happens to our cars when they run our of oil! Please note that Craniosacral Therapy is intended to complement, not replace, the relationship you have with your medical practitioner. If you have or suspect you may have a serious health problem, please see your doctor. Never disregard medical advice or delay in seeking it.

This is an interesting article from 2023. In BCST we tune into the vagus nerve and its health within the system. Wouldn’t it be great if the same researchers were as interested in BCST and its abilities rather than inanimate gadgets, and if people were prescribed BCST instead of a device they clip to their ear?

Stimulating the vagus nerve is being hyped as the simplest way to reduce stress, dampen anxiety – and could even curb obesity. But what exactly is it? And how does tickling your ear help?

It is so good to see randomised trials proving the efficacy of CST - maybe one day it will become an accepted part of conventional healthcare 🙏

CHEESE AND CHALK,
TOUCH AND TALK

Our eloquently sensitive hands attune to the multiple rhythms of the Tide and recognise anomalies of motion in Primary Respiration. We get on the ground floor of subtle physiology, the essence of life itself. By detecting and ameliorating deviation in the rhythms pulsing in our bodies we can improve health in its multiple dimensions.

In recent years, much emphasis has been placed on verbal skills in our profession. How we speak to our clients, the sound of our voice can help to regulate the social engagement system. Well-chosen words can reassure and reframe the perception of an experience.

But the language of touch can reach deeper. Our hands have the power to regulate neuropsychobiology through the magical medium of Primary Respiration. This is where we excel, this is where we can make the biggest difference to the physical and emotional health of our clients. This is our distinctive contribution, our palpatory mastery, our direct reach into life lived in the body.

Millions of us live with this debilitating condition. One sufferer describes taking matters into her own hands

“When you are in relationship to the Cranial Rhythmic Impulse (CRI), you are in direct relationship to the suffering of the [horse] or human in [their] form" (Sills)

This must be appreciated and respected.

Biodynamic clinical work at the CRI level is via recognition and acknowledgement of suffering, resourcing work (creating a felt sense of safety), and a re-orientation of the system to the deeper tidal forces and the stillness that underlies them.”
(Sills)

Seeing their Essence - seeing their Health, their Wellness. Seeing beyond the story or stories they may be presenting with.

Inviting our client below the pathology, to something greater, which is their Origin, their Wholeness.

I am hearing of more and more cases of vertigo symptoms and truly believe CST can help.

Temporal bone misalignment and motion asymmetry as a cause of vertigo: the craniosacral model
Conclusion: Clinical experience suggests that craniosacral therapy is a powerful evaluative and treatment modality for vertigo patients who have not found relief from medical treatments.
