What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is an energy-based healing practice that focuses on the body’s inherent capacity to seek wellness. The practice involves applying light touch on the body to assist in the facilitation of releasing emotional or physical trauma. BCST acknowledges that we cannot heal secondary patterns (such as injury or disease) without first addressing underlying neurological and structural imbalances within. Through guided and supported therapeutic techniques, the client’s system enters a state known as the holistic shift where the body is able to self-regulate, bringing the parasympathetic nervous system back on-line. This is where the healing begins. The body often reveals energetic patterns and/or fulcrums (areas of inertia), which seek recognition and balance, in order to increase potency and energy flow throughout the system. 

After a session, you may feel a deep sense of relaxation, a sense of groundedness in your being, and a deeper connection to self and others. You may also experience; clarity, decreased physical pain, or a sense of spaciousness. BCST can be used to address these common ailments:

Arthritis – Autism – Back Pain/Joint Pain – Birth Trauma – Cancer – Childhood Trauma – Concussions/Head Injuries – Long Covid –Dissociative/Disembodied States – Fatigue/Stress – Fibromyalgia – Headaches/Migraines/TMJ – High Blood Pressure – Inflammation/Immune Disorders – Nervous System Disorders – Post-Surgical Healing – PTSD – Scoliosis – Visceral/Digestive Disorders

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy for Kids, Teens and Adults

Addressing issues in the body and psyche at a young age can have a tremendous impact in a child’s life as well as the family’s.

With her background in yoga and mindfulness meditation Sherry tailors BCST session work to suit the needs of the individual. With younger children a typical session may incorporate art therapy, storytelling, yoga and breathing practices along with BCST table work.

With teens, BCST may help your adolescent or young adult to reconnect with themselves, discover a sense of Belonging. Behavioral and mindfulness practices may be offered to be practiced at home. We focus on Body Presence, and awareness of our feelings so that we may begin to recognize when harmful thoughts or patterns arise. We develop skills that allow us to resource ourselves in times of crisis and regain control with kindness and compassion.

BCST can help children and teens in particular with: Becoming more Embodied and Engaged – Awakening the Social Engagement System – Anxiety – Stress – Concussions – Difficulty Sleeping – Autism – Learning Issues – Releasing Physical and Emotional Birthing Patterns – TMJ – Headaches/Migraines – Self-Harm – Symptoms Associated with Orthodontic Treatments

Sherry is passionate about assisting adolescents dealing with bullying, addiction, and challenges related to establishing their gender identity.
