Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health.
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral work is a healing modality based on osteopathy, that optimize the flow of energy throughout the body. It is a light-touch, hands-on therapy that enhances the body’s natural capacity for healing. It is a profound healing process which can release the deeply held patterns of disease; both physical and psychological; which accumulate throughout life as a result of injury and illness and become held into the body tissues, leading to ill-health and dysfunction. Craniosacral Therapy treats people rather than conditions. It is primarily concerned with establishing a healthy, balanced underlying state which enables the body’s own healing mechanisms to operate at optimum level, and therefore to restore health.
The simplest way to think about Craniosacral Therapy is that it reboots your nervous system, like a computer. Allowing it to rest in stillness, in order to self-organize, self-correct and self-heal the impacts stored in your nervous system.

"Martina’s practice has been an essential piece of normalizing my life following a difficult brain injury. Prior to seeing Martina I was uncertain if my vision and neck mobility would ever return to normal. Craniosacral sessions have helped me release huge amounts of tension, contributing to gains in my vision, clarity of thinking, renewed hope of recovery, and a reduction in neck/head tension. The sessions are not massages, but you will feel an immense release of various tension points around your head and neck. Martina is very kind, professional and gifted, and is genuinely focused on tailoring the sessions to your unique situation." Sue R.
What to expect from a Craniosacral session:
You will be fully clothed, lying on a massage table in a supported and comfortable way. Craniosacral Therapy involves a very light, gentle touch often applied to the feet or shoulders to start and then to wherever the inherent treatment plan of the body takes us. Some common places to touch are the cranium, sacrum (triangle bone at the base of the spine) and the spine. Sometimes it takes some negotiation to get the touch just right so you can deeply relax. I will guide you in this process which, in itself, can be very healing. I may ask you from time to time what you are experiencing, and will help you to stay present with whatever your experience is. You are welcome to follow your comfort ability, asking questions, relating your experiences or dwelling in stillness and silence.
At the end of the session I will take some time to check in about how you are doing. This is a great opportunity to find words for your experience and reflect on how differently you feel after your session. The effects can also be felt even after you leave your session.
During the session, you may:

During the session, you may:
- Relax so deeply that you fall asleep
- Enter a quiet meditation-like state
- Feel as if you are dreaming while awake
- Experience memories or insights while on the table
- Enjoy a pleasant sense of warmth, softening, widening or floating
- At times, you may experience other kinds of sensations, as energy that has been held in the body is released. If this occurs, just stay present with your breath and bodily sensations and allow this energy to discharge. The session quite often involves a process of letting go of patterns that inhibit your health and vitality.
At the end of the session, you may:
- Feel relaxed, but also energized
- Find yourself breathing more fully and deeply
- Stand straighter and taller
- Feel more comfortable in your body
- You may feel a new sense of peace and ease as you leave the office to return, renewed, to your life.
"I love my sessions and look forward to them. I always leave with a sense of peacefulness and well-being. Since I started having treatments my headaches have diminished and I do not feel so stressed out all the time. It helps to keep my nerves settled and I feel balanced over all. Martina has a special gift and I am deeply grateful for her service. I would recommend everyone to give it a try and see for oneself how healing the treatments can be.” Tracy P.
"Martina, thank You! I slept so soundly last night and my hearing is keener, my eyesight a little clearer and I feel good! My back ache in my lower back is gone!! It has been nagging me for weeks. And I feel more happy! Yay for you!" Phyllis R.
