One of the best “interruptions” during a treatment (though you know CST isn’t precious and can’t really be interrupted) was when this wonderful woman received THE phone call telling her she was about to fulfil a childhood dream.

That was a very fun nervous system shift to witness ✨

Craniosacral Therapy was one of the tools Rachael used to help her prepare, focus, and recover during the Gladiators audition process and filming. It was really special to support Rach through this chapter and I’m INCREDIBLY proud of her ❤️❤️

Go Rev Rach! 💪🔥

This is definitely one of the most frequently asked questions!
And my answer is almost always something like, “What do you think would be best for you?”

And here’s the thing…I know the therapy, but YOU know your body.

Craniosacral Therapy isn’t about following a rule or becoming dependent, a large part of it is learning to trust what your body is telling you.

❄️Seasonal changes in light directly affect brain signalling and hormone rhythms. These shifts influence sleep, energy, immunity, and how the nervous system regulates stress.

Craniosacral Therapy works with the nervous system and the fluid systems surrounding the brain and spinal cord, supporting the body as it adapts to winter physiology rather than pushing against it.

✨ Feeling different in winter isn’t weakness — it’s neurobiology.

Thought I’d share this handy little fact sheet from Upledger Institute International.

If you’d like to explore a bit further, the Craniosacral Society UK has lots of helpful information about CST, as well as a practitioner directory so you can find a qualified therapist local to you: https://www.craniosacralsociety.co.uk/what-is-cranio-sacral-therapy

A small roundup of a very big year ✨

2025 has held so much more than I could ever fit into one video. To every person who came for a session, supported my training and believed in me - Thank you ❤️

Your trust and encouragement have meant more than you know.

Lots of plans already in place for 2026, and I can’t wait to share them with you 😁
