CranioSacral Therapy
THE "INTERNAL TIDE" OF YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
Did you know your brain and spine have their own rhythm?
Beyond your heartbeat and breath, your body has a subtle internal tide—known as the craniosacral rhythm. It’s a gentle wave of fluid that surrounds and nourishes your brain and spinal cord, expanding and contracting about 6 to 12 times per minute.
Think of it like a slow-moving ocean tide. When everything is open and flowing, your nervous system feels calm and supported. But when there are areas of tension or restriction, it’s like a sandbar forming—the movement becomes limited, and things don’t flow as easily.
Through light, attentive touch, I “listen” to this rhythm with my hands. It gives me a map of where your body is holding stress, and where it’s ready to release
