60 or 90 minutes £150 / £210
Course of seven sessions £920
By listening to your natural movement patterns, while you
simply float near gravity-free, your body will be guided into a
continuum of motion, while a range of bodywork techniques
are applied in order to encourage the release of muscular
and joint restrictions. Emphasis is given on spinal lengthening
and mobilisation. Any issues affecting natural fluid movement
can then be worked with, such as repetitive movement and
holding patterns, stress and trauma stored in the body,
among many others.
Craniosacral Therapy

rhythms, through gentle holding of the cranium, sacrum
and other key points, the practitioner encourages your
body to re-organise towards greater alignment and vitality.
