Lesley Corbet (my pronouns are She/her)

Lesley is a Craniosacral Therapist, Breathwork & Relaxation Teacher practising in complementary medicine since 1991, having trained extensively and successfully treated a wide variety of people,conditions and many different life stages

Craniosacral therapy aims to restore balance and wellbeing by finding areas of restriction in the body and encouraging their release. It is an extremely gentle and deceptively powerful treatment using the subtle energy and healing abilities of the body to restore emotional and physical balance.

It can help to calm the nervous system to a state of deep relaxation by encouraging the restorative parasympathetic state which allows the deepest rest and healing. Most of us spend too much time with our nervous system in its sympathetic state, commonly called fight or flight. Fight or flight is essential to our survival in an emergency situation, but can cause us many problems when it is activated too much in day to day living. Helping the nervous system back to its parasympathetic or rest and digest mode allows us not just to feel better and to relax in the moment, but can allow the body to reset and redress many physical and emotional problems. Often the body has its own answers if we give it a chance to be heard and to properly rest and relax.

It can help to gently release suppressed feelings or trauma, bringing about profound changes andresolution of past events. Because it works with the expression of health in the body, it may oftenbring about unexpected changes as the body clears old issues, improving wellbeing in such a waythat it is noticeable in many aspects of life and behaviour.

The treatment takes place lying down and involves light contact usually on the spine or head. It isgenerally extremely relaxing. Clients may experience a greater connection with their body oremotions or drift off to a place of relaxation, leaving with a deep sense of wellbeing. Each sessionmay be very different for every person and from week to week.

Breathwork and relaxation can complement Craniosacral therapy by encouraging a connectionbetween the mind and body. Most importantly, learning to breathe in a deeper, more optimal waycan be life changing. It can also can also help as a tool to use outside of the therapy session.
