CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch modality that accesses and activates the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Injuries, trauma, and difficult births can cause the sacrum and bones of the skull to inhibit the natural ebb and flow of the fluid body that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord, resulting in pain and loss of function in the body.
What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch modality that accesses and activates the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Injuries, trauma, and difficult births can cause the sacrum and bones of the skull to inhibit the natural ebb and flow of the fluid body that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord, resulting in pain and loss of function in the body.
CranioSacral Therapy targets these misalignments and reopens the body to a healthy, natural state. Because of the non-invasive nature of the technique, there are no side effects to the therapy. The resulting effects are often profound and varied for each individual, impacting the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers of self.
CranioSacral Therapy Sessions
Typical adult sessions are 90 minutes. Clients remain fully clothed on the massage table. The process includes touching into contact points across the full body, tuning to the CranioSacral rhythm at each point, and holding contact to allow for alignment. This is a low-impact process and clients usually leave feeling deep peace and restoration.

CranioSacral Therapy for Infants and Families
CranioSacral Therapy for infants may help relieve many discomforts associated with the early stages of life. With light and non-invasive therapeutic touch, this type of bodywork can help your baby’s body focus on growing and learning instead of healing and adjusting.
The Initial Visit & Evaluation is a 90 minute session, giving time to get to know your baby and your family’s needs along with the therapy. Follow-up visits are 60 minutes. Please let me know when you schedule if your baby has previous experience receiving CST. Babies can be held by parents, by Courtney, or placed on the massage table. All babies are different, so Courtney will work with you and your baby to find what is most comfortable, including play and movement. All sessions are held in office.
