Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on balancing the central nervous system through subtle touch.
By working with the craniosacral rhythm (the movement of fluid around the brain and spinal cord), this therapy helps to release tension, promote relaxation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
During a session, you will remain fully clothed while Kelsey communicates each step in the process. She uses light, non-invasive touch on the head, neck, spine and pelvis. Craniosacral Therapy is often seen as a gentle but powerful way to promote deep relaxation and support overall well-being.
Many individuals who experience this treatment report feeling a significant reduction in stress and relief from pain. It can be especially helpful for those dealing with headaches, neck pain, anxiety, or emotional distress, offering a nurturing space for healing and comfort.
