Craniosacral Therapy 

RE SITE small-8.JPG

Craniosacral Therapy is a holistic treatment that facilitates the body’s ability to heal itself through a gentle yet profound touch. This alternative approach helps restore the body’s health while positively influencing mental and emotional well-being. Our thoughts, emotions, and physical body are interconnected, forming parts of a whole. Discomfort in one area can affect emotional and rational functions, or vice versa. When we face stressful events, the body reacts by contracting muscles and releasing hormones tied to our survival instincts. If this tension isn’t released appropriately, it can lead to chronic pain, injuries, repetitive thoughts, and a constant state of hyperarousal.

During a Craniosacral Therapy session, the practitioner uses gentle touch, working from head to toe as appropriate, while the client lies fully clothed on a couch. This process helps release restrictions or unresolved memories held in the body, promoting the free flow of fluids essential for a balanced central nervous system. The treatment supports a fluid and mobile expression of health, enabling the body to return to its natural state of balance and well-being.

As Craniosacral Therapy is so gentle and non-invasive, it is suitable for all ages. It is a perfect complement to talking therapies too. Physically processing emotional issues and trauma held in the body supports the work of counselling and psychotherapy.

What clients say

Emilia Uzar

"Renata was the first person to explain to me where the root of my problem was and through craniosacral therapy Renata helped me to release tension and also understand emotional issues like how to cope with stress and anxiety. Renata has a lot of personal and professional experience in this area and I felt the sense of being able to trust her guidance. It felt intimate and welcoming. There were moments of smiling, joy, emotion and plenty of space to process these feelings. I am noticeably calmer after the sessions and feel better being more aware and having knowledge of knowing myself deeper."
