Three Rivers Craniosacral Therapy

05/05/2026

Over the last few months, I've been spending a good amount of time listening to the audio recording of James Low's 2025 teaching Open to life on the Dzogchen retreat at Emerson College

The teachings in this tradition are beautifully bought to life in through a contemporary lens thanks to James’ practise and embodied understanding. In the tradition it’s beautifully illustrated that the body/mind is the site of all experience as a continual process where experience arises, abides and dissolves... for if it weren't a process and it was fixed then nothing could ever happen because of this fixedness! but if you try to find a definite point at which you can say ‘well this is the mind’ or ‘this is the body’, that concrete, conceptual stability starts to breakdown, it cannot hold true, because there's no ‘Thing’ that one can arrive on in definitive terms to say ‘it's this?’

Why do I find this experiential understanding a profound impactful way of seeing and viewing in relation to Craniosacral therapy practise? So many clients are holding on to ‘fixedness’ in their symptoms and core beliefs!

Whatever the conditions that arise in our experience, be they positive, negative or neutral, they are phenomenological processes that are transitory, life is impermanent, life is change.
And yet, our sense of Being through which all of this passes is always present and unchanged by whatever passes through this awareness! This is a deeply compassionate gesture towards even the most difficult unwanted experiences, and the most magnetically attractive experiences. That one can experience them fully without being taken over completely by them applies this understanding to the felt-sense of whatever manifests in Craniosacral therapy sessions as the body’s history shows up. It enables a loosening-up and freeing within the session work that can carry over into a carefree dignity in life.

Flow well!

Using the WHHQ questionnaire periodically across a series of sessions supports clients to track the meaningful change they experience through the CST sessions. In this case from an initial baseline score of 18, to most recent score of 60, demonstrating a whopping 233% percentage increase! This means the increase itself is more than double the original value!
Meaningful change is experienced across the various interrelated and overlapping spheres which form the Wellbeing spectrum that is self-reported on by clients.
It’s an invitation and not mandatory.
As meaningful change takes place it highlights both where positive change is manifesting, alongside areas where there is still scope for a shift, this helps clients identify areas they may wish to focus on further as things clarify.
In my experience clients are often able to celebrate these changes, both in relation to the reasons they initially sought support through CST, and across areas of their lives that they didn’t consciously consider could be involved.
Curious to try regular sessions and experience meaningful change yourself?
I’m an approachable, trauma informed, compassionate, and relatable professional Craniosacral therapist in regular supervision and undertake regular CPD and post grad trainings. You can arrange a free 20min consultation by phone or zoom if you wish to meet me first.
I have a special interest in trauma resolution and ACE, and have experienced the profound benefits of CST in relation to my own trauma background.

Happy Easter!
My busy and thriving Cranio clinic is taking a pause for a few days over Easter and is fully booked on Tuesday, 7 April
I’ll be away teaching on the Circle Cranio biodynamic practitioner training seminar 9 in the penultimate seminar before this wonderful cohort of soon to be professional Craniosacral therapists with the most up-to-date and fresh training graduate in June 26.
I’ll be teaching on the topics of ‘balance and integration’ in relation to the Jaw and pelvis, and Porges’ Polyvagal theory and the social engagement system through a combination of hands-on practice embodied movement scores and theory.
In parallel modes of practice, I’m looking forward to several dance movement projects across this year and next
Sharing this image of me exploring gravity and momentum from Mathias Sperling’s ‘Readings of what was never written’ Neurolive 2025
0rientation to gravity and spaciousness is a portal that I use in clinical practice to help facilitate clients awareness of their embodiment and grounding as we begin the session work, I find it’s a profound method.
As my Craniosacral practice grows it’s now popping up in multiple locations, so I have more appointments available and I’m looking to take on new clients who would benefit from my orientation towards grounding, presence, spaciousness and getting in touch with the experience of health as it moves, manifests and enables change in the living physiology, psychology, emotional, and spiritual lenses of our perceptual experience.
Curious about Cranio? Do get in touch. I’m approachable, relational,patient, open and curious…
Have a good Easter
Go well!

🧮 Resources for health.. What are yours?

🪞 Ask yourself what 3 things you do that bring you a sense of completeness and allow your cares to take a rest?

In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions we begin by finding a 'felt sense' of embodied health, and throught the portal of that tangible yet almost nameless sensation and feeling tone of wellness we enter into states of balance and integration where healing occcurs.

We support this in a wider lives by paying attention to the things we do that we love, that bring us purpose and meaning, wellbeing. It could partcipation, community, fulfilment, activities, nature, meditation, creative practice, baking.. it's uniquely personal.. but the foundational point is that we touch in with them regularly as they feed our health.

Curious to explore how craniosascral therapy might be the creative, non-judgmental, compassionate and clincially informed listening-through-touch treatment modality that you're looking for?

Drop me a line or a message for bookings or to have a chat about any questions you have. I'm approachable and looking forward top hearing from you

When I left home (again) at 17 to follow my dream and begin my professional dance training in London my wonderful Dad gave me a copy of the book 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' by Richard Bach. Inside the cover he simply wrote 'Fligh, Ben All my Love Dad' Thank you Dad, I'm still vibing with that!

Have a good day, your good heart deserves it!

Some recent reflections on ‘embodiment’ within biodynamic Craniosacral therapy. Looking at health and the histories and wounding that may be present in our embodiment, cultivating curiosity to notice and attend to the bodies wish to be listened to in that, getting to experience the Health and goodness that is ever present at a core level of being, from where we can bear witness with presence as change manifests. Appointments available weekdays and some evenings. I am currently able to take on a few new clients, if you’re interested please do get in touch to book or arrange a 20min Ressonance chat with me to discuss any questions you may have about how Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy might be right for you.
