BIODYNAMIC cranial sacral therapy
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on treatment for the entire body. Conducted on a massage table, clients remain fully clothed, and the practitioner’s touch is light and still. The primary focus of each session is to nurture the inherent health of the whole being, particularly the nervous system, which governs all bodily functions and tends to become a place of restriction and plays a core role in many dysfunctions.
BCST practitioners are trained extensively to understand how a healthy, optimally functioning nervous system operates. Through acute perception skills, we can detect subtle physiological changes and recognize the energetic patterns that contribute to an individual's overall health and symptoms. We believe that health is always present, regardless of the ailment. By identifying areas of the nervous system that may not be functioning at their best, we tap into the body’s inherent health to facilitate a return to balance. This process promotes greater ease and helps alleviate symptoms. I combine BCST approaches with verbal coaching where relevant, supporting clients in metabolizing nervous system charge and their unfolding process.
How do Sessions Work?
We begin sitting and talking about what brings you to cranial sacral therapy and what you would like to get out of the session. During the session, you will be fully clothed, sitting in a chair to start and then lying on a massage table in a supported and comfortable way. Then there will be a period of dialogue before making physical contact in order to find the place of right relationship where your nervous system can relax. Sessions alternate between quiet, longer holds and checking in from time to time about what you are experiencing.
When appropriate, I use gentle coaching tools from polarity therapy to helping clients become more aware of their physical, emotional, and energetic states and to release blockages, connect to their inner wisdom, and foster a greater sense of alignment with their intentions.
While a single session can have noticeable effects, it often takes multiple sessions to achieve more noticeable changes given the subtle but powerful nature of this work.
Sessions are 1h long and cost $100. I offer sliding scale for patients in financial need.
Testimonials
“The cranial session was transformative. Bridgit's attunement and skill as a practitioner helped me to relax and connect with my own process. I didn’t even realize I was holding, and she was skillful as the process unwound. After sessions, I left feeling lighter, more balanced, and with a sense of deeper wholeness.”
