Treatment process
In a Craniosacral Therapy session, you will lie fully clothed on a massage table, usually on your back or side, or in a position that is comfortable for you.
Our trained therapist will then apply a therapeutic touch to particular areas of the Craniosacral System that need attention, using specific gentle 'holds'. The most common holds are to the cranium (head) and the sacrum (lowest section of the back) which are the top and the bottom of the spine and nervous system.
Belinda is adept at discerning the subtle rhythms and vibrations of the body through these gentle holds, which can give information on the state of health within the different structures of the body.

'The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear' - Rumi
Between the cranium and the sacrum runs our spinal cord (encasing our nervous system), which, along with the spine
and associated muscles, form the foundation of our muscular-skeletal structure.
This is where Craniosacral Therapy gets its' name.
Therapeutic touch which calms the nervous system can gently encourage many improvements throughout the whole mind-body. Clients often notice releases in tissues, bone structure, muscles and nerves which lead to pain relief and often a long term improvement in the body's structure and general health.
It is common to become deeply relaxed during a Craniosacral Therapy session, and often people sleep better in the interim after treatment.
A series of treatments is recommended for best results.

Waiuku Craniosacral Therapy for Children and Babies
Craniosacral Therapy can be very effective for unsettled babies, those who may have recurring ear infections, digestive problems, sleeping problems, feeding issues or problems related to difficult births.
Plagiocephaly (misshapen head after birth) and Torticollis (unable to turn head fully to both sides, or one side preference) can also respond positively to CST.
Many more children are experiencing anxiety today than ever before, and it is the most common issue I treat in children. Fortunately, I have seen how CST can help many children and teens to learn how to manage their anxiety and in particular, how to breathe well to lessen their symptoms.
Contrary to what you may think, children do not need to stay lying still for a Craniosacral treatment. We all know that toddlers especially do not like to stay put!
During the session, the therapist will work around the child to make the environment safe, calming and inclusive.
Babies can lie on the therapy table, stay sleeping in their carseat, or be held by their caregiver.
Toddlers can move around, play, and interact with the therapist and caregiver/s.
Younger children may want to read a book or do a puzzle, while older children and teens can have a rest on the bed while reading or listening to music if they find it easier to relax that way.
