Craniosacral Sessions

Craniosacral

Align and retune to your innate resilience

Craniosacral therapy uses light touch and longer holds to support the circulation of the fluid body. In particular we work with the rhythm of cerebrospinal fluid which nourishes and removes waste from the central nervous system. This flow interweaves and affects many layers of the human body, including the nervous, endocrine, immune, lymph, and fascial systems. By gently releasing compression on tissues and bones, nourishing and cleansing fluids are able to reach areas that were once constricted. Toxins and stagnation are able to dissolve, and old patterns set free.

You will wear comfortable clothing and lay on the table. Using light pressure, I will hold different areas of your body. Holds may be on areas like the sacrum, shoulders, neck, and different parts of the head. Areas of restriction are held, listened to, and given space to express and transform. As the nervous system recalibrates to a restful and connected state, unwinding happens on physical, mental, and emotional layers.

Testimonials

  • More able to access my inner resources

    Craniosacral is subtle work on the subtle systems of the body. In my sessions I feel seen, respected, and held for highest intentions in Julie’s presence. After each session, I feel spacious and relaxed.

    I have a renewed intention for rest, clarity, and spaciousness so that I can metabolize my life, menopause, my schooling, the world news, politics, and etc. Moving forward from this place, I feel more empowered, more resilient, and less reactionary.

  • Connected to a deeper sense of my body

    Craniosacral work with Julie has a deep relaxation quality like being underwater, weightless. It’s the most gentle treatment: the shifts that happen are slight and sensitive to a frequency that is imperceptible with movement. I felt more connected to a deeper sense of my body and very relaxed after my session with Julie.

  • The cumulative effect of working with Julie for Craniosacral has been like watching a new leaf unfurl

    After a few sessions, I have come away feeling more mentally calm, more deeply embodied, and with a renewed commitment to my own rest and rejuvenation practices.

    Julie's energy is perfectly suited to the subtle work of Craniosacral: deeply grounded, gentle, and tranquil. It's a rare treasure to tend the whole body in this way. I highly recommend it!

  • Guided me back to a grounded state

    Julie’s Craniosacral session was exactly what I needed while feeling stressed with a heavy heart. Her calm presence and intuitive touch guided me back to a grounded state. I was very relaxed afterwards, slept really well that evening, and had a lot of energy the next day.

  • Always a helpful reset

    I came to the session with a busy mind and feeling rushed after a busy day full of meetings and to-dos. I left the session feeling calm and grounded. Sessions with Julie are a time for me to connect with myself, to pause, and to slow down. It’s always a helpful reset.

Sessions and Rates

60min — $120

Sessions layer upon each other to guide the nervous system towards a self-restorative state. New clients are recommended to begin with an initial set of three sessions to introduce and allow the work to sink in.

A weekly, monthly, or seasonal cadence is beneficial for continued support and unfolding. As sessions continue, the body moves from releasing newer tensions, to unwinding older and more deeply held patterns.

Craniosacral is wonderful to receive on its own, and can be a powerful addition woven into the Soma Series.
