Armelle Lajus

Hello and Welcome! My name is Armelle and I am a registered Craniosacral Therapist practicing in Richmond and Twickenham. 

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a non-invasive and gentle, hands-on treatment which works with the body's natural ability to heal itself. It supports the unwinding and releasing of deep patterns held in the body caused by stress, trauma, accidents and that can manifest as migraines, anxiety, physical pain and much more. 

CST is unique in its ability to work with the source of symptoms on every level, whether mental, physical or emotional, and can therefore address and alleviate a wide variety of conditions such as:  

• Asthma . 
• Chronic Fatigue and ME 
• Depression 
• Digestive Problems ​and IBS 
• Discomfort following dental treatment and braces 
• TMJs  
• Emotional overwhelm 
• Headaches and Migraines  
• Insomnia  
• Low energy states and exhaustion 
• Recovery following surgery  
• Tinnitus 
• Whiplash 
• Neck pain 
• Back pain 
• Knee / leg pain and injuries 
• Hip Pain 
• Problems with sinuses 
• Post-childbirth, both for mother and baby 
• Support in pregnancy 
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
• Grief

What does it involve? 

CST is most often carried out with the patient lying down, fully clothed, in a quiet and peaceful environment. Treatment involves a very gentle touch of the practitioner's hands. This light contact may be taken up on the Cranium (head) the Sacrum (tail-bone) the feet, the trunk, or any other part of the body as appropriate. Treatment is generally experienced as a profound relaxation and reintegration which may pervade the whole person, physically, mentally and emotionally, often accompanied by a feeling of lightness and ease. 

Because CST is so gentle it is suitable for everyone, from babies to the elderly and during pregnancy. 

I look forward to meeting you at The Practice Rooms.
