Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Our bodies holds stress and trauma beneath the surface at a cellular level, imprinting the tissues with patterns of rigidity and immobility. Working with the cerebrospinal fluid and autonomic nervous system, Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy utilizes the wisdom of the body’s instinctual intelligence to restore the natural rhythms of the body’s innate healing to cells and tissues, bringing a sense of vitality and coherence that lasts well beyond a session. Initial sessions are generally 1 ¼ hours with follow up sessions 50-60 minutes in length.
Rate: $225.00 per session
Virtual Biodynamic Therapy
Virtual sessions employ the same principles as Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy virtually, by phone or zoom. Virtual sessions follow the same protocols to release holding patterns and allow self- regulation of the nervous system. Virtual sessions provide an alternative for clients and can produce very powerful healing. Initial sessions are generally 1 ¼ hours with follow up sessions 50-60 minutes in length.
