...a starting point for health

Welcome

Welcome, I am so glad you are here and that you are curious about yourself and your well-being.

Cranio Sacral in Practice is a therapy of calm and stillness that slowly and gently begins to untangle past injuries, illness and influences on body and mind that are depleting your life force.
 
Osteopathy is a bodywork therapy that gently aligns the musculoskeletal system.  Structure governs function and the body can only function when it is structurally sound, both physically and mentally – your current state of health is held within the limitation of past influences on posture and skeletal alignment.
​
The essence of Bio Energetics is for you to see, visually, the health markers in your body and to understand where they have come from...but more importantly, with a few easy and reasonable changes to movement, nutrition or lifestyle habits, you may make choices  for yourself on what and how to bring yourself back to a balance of health.
 
Sometimes healing on a physical level is all that is needed – whether in a manual therapy of manipulation and massage or with a medical prescription, but with increasing complexity - where both the body and mind have a role to play; a more comprehensive approach can make the difference.
 
Beyond the physical wellness, there is the emotional well-being. We are often stranded between how society wants to mould us and our own inner yearning, born of our quiet thoughts, of how we would like to be – well thought out thoughts – from life’s experiences and personal knowing of Self.

Living is this limbo, a liminality, doesn’t have to be so. We can live within society, while in an experience of moving towards and embodying a new way of being: fluid, graceful and deeply restorative for our body and mind.
​
With a combination of therapies in Cranio Sacral and Osteopathic Manual Therapy we seek to restore, we seek to balance and we seek to release illness that no longer serves a purpose in your life.
 
Landing on this page, intentionally or not, you've entered an open field and what lies before you is a gentle path to the knowing of how to live in your body on this earth.

Cranio Sacral Practice

Cranio Sacral Practice is an exceptionally gentle yet profoundly powerful therapy. It works with the whole person and supports your body's innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself. This can enable improved function on all levels, with an overall integration of body, mind and spirit.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy as a theraputic modality is concerned more with those issues which might have compromised health rather than the consequent disease or condition. The physical, bodily imbalances that have brought you to seek out a restorative practice and therapy.
Osteopathy acknowledges that a living organism is a system that constantly renews, regenerates and reforms itself in order to maintain life and health. 

Bio Energetics

Bio Energetic Analysis is a safe, non-invasive examination to quickly and accurately measure the health state. The technology provides advantages in the field of analysis and data gathering on various health systems of the body.
It is especially useful for assessing how changes to nutrition or supplements may help improve an identified health condition.

Cranio Sacral Practice
Each session is tailored to your needs and for whatever imbalance or lethargy is coming up for you at that present time. At times you might need more of an energy balancing session. Other times, you might need a more physiological manual therapy to restore musculoskeletal aches and pains and yet at other times, an embodied approach where you are able to bring to your own awareness emotions that are being held that are ready for expression. Everything is welcome in the healing space. ​
Cranio Sacral creates a quiet, gentle space for meeting yourself with a greater sense of well-being, contentment and enhanced quality of life - potentially bringing profound transformations in your life.
You can choose to learn from our past, leaving behind what no longer serves you and with faith in the purpose of life, set a course guided by your own knowing.

Osteopathy
Our body's health-maintaining ability is compromised by life events, such as physical trauma, emotional or psychosocial matters, infection, dietary indiscretion, environmental or occupational factors, symptoms could develop which can be classified as diseases, syndromes or medical conditions.
Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners, trained not only to diagnose conventionally and evaluate pathologies, but also to assess the patient using a highly skilled sense of touch.
The body are inter-related, improving the alignment, mobility and function of one helps the function of the others. This is the reason people who seek treatment for back or neck pain see their chronic intestinal, or sleep disorders disappear.As the bio-mechanics become more harmonious, the muscles work more efficiently, the joints loads are balanced, bringing higher levels of fitness and empowerment.
The improvement in blood circulation promotes optimal exchanges at the cellular level, therefore normalising the organs’ functions.
Life can be stressful. But what if you could take an hour out of your week - for yourself - and emerge calm, grounded and serene? Or perhaps you’ve been feeling fatigued and run-down lately?
What if you could take that hour and return fully focused and energised to meet the world?
These treatments and therapies can help your body and mind move to a state of relaxation, clarity and healthy balance.
​Treat Yourself.
