Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a regenerative practice, grounded in embodied presence and deep listening. This is a gentle and sensitive approach that responds to how your body is in the moment. Sessions give space for the changing landscape of your body to express its story without judgement or agenda, and for your underlying vitality and grace to flow with greater ease. From our earliest moments of life we are all impacted by our experiences and, sometimes, for a number of reasons our experiences do not get processed and integrated. These unprocessed experiences can become 'stuck' in the body and cause imbalances, illness, blockages or soul loss.

Through sensitive touch and deep listening to your fully-clothed body I attune to the whole ecosystem of your body through the craniosacral system; the bones, energies, membranes and cerebrospinal fluids that envelop the brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral Therapy supports your body's innate healing capacities through; settling and rebalancing the nervous system, grounding you in your somatic presence, supporting your re-alignment with the core of your being and reawaken your creative, lifeforce energies.

People come for Craniosacral Therapy for many reasons including; menopause transition, major or minor illness, weakened immune system, injury, life transitions, exploring birth processes, digestive difficulties, soul retrieval. Deeper though than trauma, dis-ease and stress, exists a state of stillness, luminosity and ease - ever present and often concealed.

Over a number of sessions people often start to sense this within themselves through their embodied presence.

Spiritual Accompaniment
Spiritual Accompaniment or Spiritual Counselling is an ancient conversation between fellow travellers. We ponder the same questions today as our ancestors did sitting around fires gazing up at the stars in awe, reflecting on their essential nature and the nature of reality.

The space I offer is relational, heart centred, embodied deep listening. You may feel unclear about your spiritual path or practices, or feel that the relationship you once had with the Divine, Beloved, God, Great Spirit, Great Mother, is changing, or unavailable to you. The questions and perplexities you feel are valued doorways to your inner guidance and light, and the great mystery, that is seeking you. This embodied contemplative process offers a safe space to question, doubt, unfurl, feel and not-know, as you explore this mystery of being human, that is interwoven with the lives and landscapes of the whole of this sacred Earth.

I have been in private practice since 2009 working with individuals and groups both inside and outside on the land. At the heart and soul of my work is healing our sense of separation, from body, Earth and the divine. I bring a Wholearth exploration of being to each of the branches of my work. 

I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist with Masters Degrees in Core Process Psychotherapy and Critical Theory (Arts), and a B. A. in Fine Art. I have a Diploma in Craniosacral Therapy and continue to learn, create and explore each day.
