Integrative Osteopathy

Biodynamic cranial osteopathy is a profoundly gentle, hands-on therapy rooted in ancient wisdom and designed to restore harmony to the nervous system.

 

By attuning to the subtle rhythmic movements of the cerebrospinal fluid and the subtle breathing motion of the cranial bones, this practice reconnects us with our embryonic memory — the origin of our infinite potential. These gentle rhythms are the body’s innate expressions of vitality, guiding us toward balance, integration and self-healing.

​

This facilitates a state of deep inner stillness where the nervous system can experience a complete reset. Within this restorative space, the body’s innate intelligence is activated, releasing stored tension and opening the door to new possibilities for growth and transformation.

 

The process gently nurtures the body, mind and spirit, offering profound healing in a way that feels safe, supportive and deeply aligned. It helps create the conditions for renewal, encouraging a harmonious flow of energy throughout the body.

​

Building on this safe and established connection to the embryonic state, biodynamic cranial osteopathy can also be a gateway to a somatic hypnotherapy journey. During the session, I maintain a light and supportive hold on your ankles, guiding you through the process with care and intention. This allows you to explore deeper layers of your being, accessing untapped potential and fostering profound personal insights.

Cranial osteopathy offers a gentle yet transformative way to support babies in releasing birth trauma and restoring balance within their developing bodies.

 

By mimicking the natural sensations of the birthing process, cranial osteopathy provides an opportunity for babies to resolve the tensions and stresses that may have arisen during their birth experience, fostering a sense of ease and comfort in their bodies.

​

The technique involves applying soft, rhythmic pressure to areas like the baby’s sacrum and fontanelle, gently simulating the natural movements and compressions of uterine contractions. This encourages a spiraling motion in the baby’s spine, replicating the essential rhythms of a vaginal birth. As the baby responds to this subtle guidance, they tap into their innate ability to release tension, process stored stress, and integrate their birth experience in a more harmonious way.

​

This approach is particularly transformative for babies who missed the natural compression and activation of a vaginal delivery or who faced significant physical strain during birth. It helps release physical and emotional stress, correct asymmetries such as those seen in congenital torticollis, and support overall alignment.

 

Additionally, this can play an important role in supporting breastfeeding, as it addresses tensions in the jaw, neck, and head that may interfere with a baby’s ability to latch and nurse comfortably.

 

This approach not only lays a solid foundation for the baby’s physical and emotional development but also provides immense relief for parents. By helping their child find comfort and balance, parents gain a sense of calm and security, strengthen their bond with their baby, and feel better equipped to support their child’s growth.

De-armouring is a deeply nurturing therapeutic practice that gently releases physical and emotional tension stored in the body’s tissues, often referred to as “armour.” This armour forms over time as the body’s way of protecting itself from stress, unresolved emotions, and trauma.

 

While it serves as a defense mechanism, it can also block the natural flow of energy and emotions, leaving us feeling stuck or disconnected. Through a caring combination of deep tissue massage, breathwork, and acupressure, de-armouring helps dissolve these layers, creating space for healing and renewal. In certain cases, internal work may be suggested to consciously and energetically reinvest in bodily tissues that hold the memory of abuse.

 

This process allows you to reconnect with your inner vitality and the flow of life force energy, often called kundalini. As these deeply held tensions are released, the body begins to cleanse itself of past trauma, inviting a sense of lightness and clarity.

 

De-armouring doesn’t just ease physical discomfort; it also empowers you to realign with your own intentions and energy, fostering emotional freedom and a deeper connection to yourself. Each session is a gentle invitation to let go of what no longer serves you, opening the door to growth, self-discovery, and transformation.

​

For those who have experienced abuse, de-armouring offers a safe and supportive pathway back to wholeness. It gently empowers you to reclaim sovereignty over your body and emotions, allowing you to reconnect with your inner strength and resilience.
