Currently undergoing certification required Classes and practicals. If you would like to volunteer for a practical email: LMTDB4SM@gmail.com with the subject titled as "Craniosacral Practical".

Craniosacral Therapy is a manual therapy that involves no swedish, deep tissue or compressions. Craniosacral work involves many holds that are performed where the touch is similar or even less than the pressure used in Manual Lymph Drainage. It has a calm and relaxing benefit as you are asked to allow your body to let go of the stress and frustrations caused by life while you focus on a peaceful meditation. As your body is held you feel the rhythm of your breathe and heartbeat, but as you go further into a state of relaxation you begin to sense the underlying biorhythms of the body from the movement of the cranial fluids to the energy in the meridians. Our goal is to bring you back in sync with your natural biorhythms through a balancing of the body and mind. When your consciousness becomes attuned to the rhythms of these movements your internal structure makes your awareness makes an inward expansion. This can often have an emotional effect on people, but more often this work provides the client a calming and relaxing session of quiet, peaceful meditation.

You've heard the terms "biomechanical" and "biodynamics" associated with Craniosacral Therapy, but you're not sure what this all means. This is often easily described as the difference between the practice of a Doctor of Osteopathy and non-DO practitioners. Similar to the practice of a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Massage Therapists. If you would like to know more about the founder father of this modality you can find information on the internet about William Sutherland (1873-1954) whose work all Craniosacral Therapy is derived from. My classes follow the teachings of Dr. Charles Ridley and fall under the biodynamic side of the family. Taught by David Sol and his wife, Misha, in Illinois this biodynamic approach to Craniosacral Therapy continues on through many schools in Europe as well since Dr. Ridley has retired.
