Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, or BCST for short, is an energy medicine that uses light touch and specific attention techniques to help you access a more relaxed state so that your own ever-present, inherent health can facilitate healing. Both the contact and attention are specific to what the client needs during each session and I consider the work collaborative. No mechanical adjustments are done--the body does what it is supported to do for itself as its own Intelligence guides the session. Orienting to pleasant sensations in this way supports our body's natural ability to be resilient, no matter how much suffering we are experiencing, because, as Franklyn Sills states, "the health is never lost".

I have found the work to be vital in processing old and recent undigested stress and trauma*, lessening pain and stiffness and bringing a sense of well-being that extends to all aspects of my life. I also schedule it to provide nervous system support around common stresses, such as surgeries, dental work, grief and loss.
A session can feel similar to being in a meditative state but with such a deep level of safety perceived by your body, it can be easier to be more in your body and less in your thoughts. The nourishing and still listening field created in sessions is a wonderful complement to mechanical and movement modalities such as yoga, chiropractic, massage and osteopathic manipulation, allowing the results to "stick" longer by helping to create new neural pathways in the brain. Choice, possibility and fluidity begin to replace rigidity in thought and body.
*"Trauma may begin as acute stress from a perceived life-threat or as the end product of cumulative stress. Both types of stress can seriously impair a person’s ability to function with resilience and ease. Trauma may result from a wide variety of stressors such as accidents, invasive medical procedures, sexual or physical assault, emotional abuse, neglect, war, natural disasters, loss, birth trauma, or the corrosive stressors of ongoing fear and conflict."
