The nature of Life is ever flowing change. This is mirrored everywhere, also in our body. Every single one of our cells is swimming in a vital fluid, our very own primordial sea, connecting every cell with all the others. For this miraculous net of cell communication the possibility of free flow is needed as well as ample space. This is what CranioSacral Therapy aims at: Creating wide space so that processes within our body (and soul) can happen in an unhindered and free way.

CranioSacral Therapy

The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord between the cranium and the sacrum. Imbalances in the craniosacral system create tensions that can manifest themselves in very different places as headaches, back pains, cervical problems, disk hernia, grinding of teeth, mandibular problems and much more.

CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle, hands-on method to evaluate and enhance the function of the craniosacral system. Using an extremely soft touch therapists aim to release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the whole central nervous system, thus alleviating also many health problems you might at first glance not connect with the craniosacral system such as anxiety, sleeping problems, burnout, digestive trouble, in short, everything related to psychic and emotional stress that is stored in the body.

Besides manual osteopathic treatment, CranioSacral Therapy uses specific energetic-verbal techniques (somato-emotional release) in order to release tension and allow for a free flow and movement. This differs greatly from many merely manual techniques: CranioSacral Therapy consciously addresses and includes emotional factors. A truly holistic method.

My Approach

I treat accordingly to John Upledger, an American osteopathic doctor who founded CranioSacral Therapy in the 1970ies. He discovered that a multitude of symptoms and physical troubles are connected with functional problems in the cranium. To successfully address these problems it is necessary to systematically treat body fasciae and nervous system membranes. Fascial and membrane tension are not just local phenomenae but could also be a physical imprint of a traumatic experience – in body and psyche.

Usually, I work for some sessions with very gentle osteopathic techniques on a tissue level, to release fascial and muscular tension and the whole craniosacral system. Going deeper requires a great level of trust from both sides. Only once that is established, more levels can be included in the treatment.

CranioSacral Therapy is based on the assumption that in certain circumstances stored away energy or emotions (as the result of f.e. a traumatic accident or psychological trauma) can weaken the whole system to a great degree. This could cause reoccurring physical symptoms. These underlying emotional or energetic issues might require a solution before the body can truly heal.

I consider CranioSacral Therapy an invitation to a journey to the root of your problems and maybe the beginning of an important process in your life. After having had the possibility of supporting countless people in their healing process it is still the most fascinating therapy I have ever encountered.

“Good to meet you here“

For many years my aim has been to create – and hold – space. Space for body, soul and mind. Space for development, space for movement, space for healing. If becoming, being and staying healthy for you also means taking responsibility for yourself and strengthening your own resources I will gladly support you in this process with everything I know and am. Health always starts from within yourself – I can only be a facilitator.
