Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a very subtle and effective hands-on therapy for improving mood, mental clarity, and physical ease.  It helps reduce pain and discomfort in the body while balancing the nervous system.

During a treatment, the client remains clothed and simply relaxes on the table while the practitioner engages various hands-on techniques aimed at releasing tension throughout the body.  One of the keys to understanding craniosacral therapy is that every bone, muscle, and organ in your body has it’s own unique movement that it is always experiencing.  Using a gentle touch, the practitioner is able to feel these deep movements and help relax any places that feel tight or restricted, as this is what often leads to pain and other symptoms.  While this is effective anywhere in the body, we usually focus on the head and the length of the spine because of how much influence they have on our physical and emotional well-being.  Tension in our brain, spinal cord, and pelvic bone can lead to problems for us in all corners of our body.   

 Craniosacral therapy is helpful in reducing:

  • Stress
  • Anxiety/Depression
  • Fibromyalgia and CFS
  • Headaches
  • Neck and back pain
  • TMJ disorders and general jaw tension
  • Old and recent injuries

Treatments typically last 60 to 75 minutes and results can come with one session or several, depending on the individual and their unique health goals.  For a complimentary phone consultation or general questions, please contact Shawna Lendzion Harbin, LMP, of NoctiLuca Essential Wellness at 206.949.3834 or shawna@noctilucaessentialwellness.com
