Healing holistic light touch therapy.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is suitable from newborn to our elder years.
Clients find the therapy a supportive and soothing treatment quite often alongside any conventional treatment they may be having. In 2025 I supported people with very physically painful conditions such as sciatica, migraines and fibromyalgia to name a few. I also find that people who are emotionally fraught or exhausted find the sessions very soothing and often say they sense their whole nervous system has calmed and they feel less reactive and an improved ability to cope with their stresses.
I like to offer CST sessions at my home above Talgarth LD30PY or I can come to your home ( although I need to charge for the extra time and fuel).
First consultation and case history is 60 minutes: £45 at my home in Talgarth.
Subsequent sessions 1 hour: £40 at my home in Talgarth.
CST is not an acute medical treatment. It is supportive and therapeutic and can work alongside your primary healthcare treatment. CST is a process and sometimes a set of sessions is most beneficial for you.
BDCST
How do you feel?
Tired & rundown,
headaches & tension,
anxious or overwhelmed,
recovering from surgery or
illness.
Pregnant or postpartum,
are you a newborn baby?
Out of balance,
painful conditions,
inflammatory symptoms in your body that you can’t pinpoint but you feel are affecting your daily living?
BDCST is a natural way of
helping our bodies to rest and
recover. It is suitable for
everybody from newborn – to
our Elder years. Craniosacral therapy is very difficult to explain how it works! It is best to try it for yourself . Many people say they find it ”deeply relaxing’, ‘healing’ and it brings a sense of’ healthy balance ‘to their system.
New parent
A new parent can feel exhausted , stressed and in need of time to heal and acclimatise to their new situation as a parent and partner. CST can support your system to down regulate and settle . This in turn can affect your mental wellbeing, breastfeeding/chestfeeding, and your overall physical recovery. A set of CST sessions with or without your baby can be very therapeutic and a perfect postnatal recovery gift.
Newborn Baby
Throughout pregnancy and during birth there is the belief that babies are very emotionally and physically sensitive to their surroundings and enviroment they are born into. I worked as a midwife and qualified lactation consultant for many years and I have observed for myself how CST can support a baby’s nervous system to settle particularly after a difficult pregnancy or long labour.
middle age and elders.
As we move through the years small aches and pains, childhood memories or old accidents and injuries can re-emerge. CST supports the body to unlock these points in the body that have become painful or activated. It supports the mind and body to reintegrate and regain a sense of balance and health as a whole.
Reflections & feedback
Case Study A
Baby R came with his mum to see me when he was 3 weeks old. He was refusing to suckle at the breast and had , had a shock emergency caesarian birth. His mother had been put to sleep for the operation.
Baby R was jumpy and showing signs of shock and a freeze response in his system. However he and his mother responded very well to one session of CST. I held him behind his head and his tailbone( sacrum). He nuzzled at his mother and latched on and breastfed. maybe he needed the sense of being heard, space and safety that CST touch can bring, Maybe also his mother felt supported and this gave her confidence to let him suckle effectively.
There is rarely one ‘thing’ that cures the whole scenario. However time, patience and listening plus CST can be a wonderful combination and very supportive for a new parent.
Case Study B
Mr M had fallen and broken his pelvis whilst working on his roof . He had spent months recovering and was still suffering lower back pain months on from the accident.
Mr M had two sessions of CST and reported back to me that his pain had dimished and he was once agin able to enjoy going out for a walk and more DIY.
Testimonials
I went for some Craniosacral Therapy with Rachel due to pain in my joints and a feeling of general inflammation. This had been an ongoing issue for me for about eight months.
During my first session with Rachel we talked about what I was experiencing and I had my first Craniosacral session.
I experienced Rachels gentle touch as being intensly relaxing and calming. She seemed to radiate healing and energy through my body and I had a wonderful sense of wellbeing.
During the next few days I felt better, as if I had turned a corner and my body was starting to calm and settle. Pain and inflammation were reduced and I was gradually having more good days.
I went for a follow up session a month later and I have been continuing to experience a sense of my body rebalancing and healing itself.
Rachel was so generous with her time and her energy, I felt very listened to and cared for. I found my sessions healing, positive and inspiring.
I would definatly recommend Craniosacral Therapy as a treatment and as a way of rebalancing body and mind.

We cannot thank Rachel enough for her gentle approach when all medical invention was failing. Arthritus is a debilitating condition. Rachel came to the house and with simple laying on of hands, the changes were notable instantly. It was supportive and provided immense theraptic relief and hope. We can highly recommend *****
