Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch modality that uses anatomical presicion, finely attuned attention, and tension balancing to correct misalignments and tension patterns within the body's craniosacral system. This therapy can address any number of concerns related to body and spirit, and has been shown particularly useful for relieving symptoms of headache, chronic neck and back pain, migraines, and emotional or traumatic stress.

There is no additional charge for specialty bodywork or "add-ons". When you book a session with us, you pay only for the length of time with your particular therapist. Things traditionally considered "add-ons" to massage (heat packs, aromatherapy, & hot stones) are included at no extra charge. Not all therapists use these tools, so if they are important to you, please contact us in advance of your booking to find the right therapist. Click the links below to book.

60 minutes. Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a highly anatomical, keenly perceptive approach to restoring balance in the body. This combination session utilizes the highly trained perceptual skills of the therapist to identify focus areas, and addresses those areas with deep tissue or fascial release techniques – typically more manipulative than traditional CST techniques. Combining modalities can yield more lasting results, as the CST helps the nervous system re-write tension patterns in the body.
