Your Path to a Healthier Body

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

"When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body's natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work" - Thich Nat Hahn

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle and non-invasive light touch therapy, which supports the body’s innate ability to heal.

There is a natural intelligence within us, which forms, informs, heals, regenerates all our cells and tissues and regulates all systems in the body. Everyday stressors, from emotional to environmental, can cause inertia and microtraumas which impact the potency of this life force in the body. Trauma gets stored in the body, showing up as physical tension, chronic pain, and disease.

Just as in counselling I listen to your words, in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy my hands listen to your body, supporting it to unwind and release held emotional mental and physical tension patterns.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a treatment originating from the research of osteopath Dr William Garner Sutherland who discovered a phenomenon he called the 'Breath Of Life, manifesting as a rhythmic impulse throughout the body's systems, particularly expressing through the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid in the cranium, vertebral column and sacrum. Dr Sutherland’s clinical experiments found that pathology, trauma and emotional patterning can inhibit the potency of this rhythm, creating patterns of inertia which can be felt as stagnation and resistance in the body. A biodynamic craniosacral therapist through sensitive listening and attuned touch invites your body to melt into a deep state of relaxation in which your system can readjust to its state of inherent health to allow the body’s natural healing to unfold.

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy beneficial for?

What to expect in a Biodynamic Craniosacral session?

Sessions take place on a massage table, and I gently make contact with your body, in particular, the head and spinal column.

My hands are trained to listen and sense the subtle movements in the cerebrospinal fluids and tissues in the body.

As your body deepens into relaxation there is a shift towards safety, balance and regulation and a natural release of chronic physical and emotional stress patterns.

The inertial patterns released may stem from factors such as physical injury, emotional stressors, birth trauma and environmental toxicity.

You may experience sensations like warmth, tingling, involuntary miniscule releases of fascia, a dream state or what simply feels like a long, whole-body exhalation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy helped me recover from a debilitating spine injury. When I was back on my feet, I felt inspired to learn so I could offer it to my clients. I trained with one of the pioneers in the field, Franklyn Sills in the U.K and I have been a practitioner since 2011. I am passionate about sharing this profoundly impactful and potentially life changing work.

Choosing to work with Samantha has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my wellness journey, she has helped me navigate and overcome challenging situations and develop trust and deeper understanding within myself. Somatic therapy has allowed me to develop a deeper relationship with my body and I appreciate Samantha’s explanations and teaching of somatic principles throughout our sessions. I’ve been seeing her for about 3 years, and she has helped me grow so much and has been consistently supportive and amazing to work with.

A. Allen

The experience of being held by the NeuroAffective Touch work and Samantha’s gentle and steady presence, was so deeply nourishing that I walked away with a new experience of myself and my needs. My body’s needs were heard and met. So very grateful for this work.

T. Virgona

Art Therapist and fellow practitioner

As a busy mum, who works as a psychologist, I found my session with Sam extremely beneficial. Sam possesses a caring and gentle manner & the therapy room was an inviting and peaceful sanctuary from the outside world. The whole therapy process felt very nurturing and individualised to what my body needed at that time to feel comfortable and warm. In this safe space, I could feel both my bodily tension slowly dissipate and an emotional release. As the session continued, I experienced a floating session akin to being held in a mother’s womb. I would highly recommend these therapy sessions as a preventative strategy for burnout and to enable the processing of high levels of stress in the body.

Even in stressful circumstance where pain is involved, Samantha creates and holds a space for her clients that is outstanding in its purity and reassurance, she is kind and perceptive, very knowledgeable and- quite simply has a magic touch.

H. Deverell

When I first heard that Samantha does distance cranial sacral work I was quite doubtful and in disbelief that this could work. I was surprised to notice warmth and flows of energy in areas where she told me she had placed her hands in her minds eye. I could sense Samantha’s presence and her gentle and supportive holding throughout the session. It gave my body a sense of safety and allowed me to let go and open. The headache and tension had shifted by the end of the treatment and, most surprisingly, I felt like wrapped in a coating of loving care that lasted for hours after.
