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 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.

I use my CST and your Baby’s body language to listen and understand about their own birth story. I have worked as a midwife and doula for > 28 years.

I am always continuing my life long studies and have spent years learning Integrative Baby Therapy with Matthew Appleton. Craniosacral Therapy for Babies with Michael Kern, Sarah Nesling, Mary Bollington, Maria Esposito.

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.

My eldest client is 96 years old and I love visiting her at home and giving her a treatment once a month. A person can lie on my treatment couch or I am able to ‘hold ‘ them sitting up or lying on a sofa.

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 *****
