What is Bodywork?

Bodywork is a general term that encompasses any hands on therapy to facilitate wellness. Common forms of bodywork are massage, CranioSacral Therapy, chiropractic care and everything in between.

““Touch provides its own language of compassion, a language that is essential to what it means to be human.””
— Dacher Keltner
 

Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the nervous system and helps ease tension in the body. It focuses on subtle movements and releases, especially around the head, spine, sacrum, and the soft tissues that connect them. Rather than forcing change, CST gives the body space to shift on its own—making it an especially supportive modality for infants and those who are highly sensitive.

CST is a great fit for:

  • Babies experiencing feeding challenges or birth-related tension

  • Children and adults sensitive to touch

  • Those who haven’t found relief with traditional massage or other types of bodywork

  • People looking for a quiet, body-centered path to inner work and self-growth

Although the work is subtle, its effects can be deep and long-lasting. For many, “less is more” resonates deeply.

CST combines a deep understanding of anatomy and kinesiology with sensitive, responsive touch. As a practitioner, I listen with my hands—feeling for areas of tension or reduced movement. Through light, sustained contact, the body receives input that increases awareness and circulation.

Think of it like this: if a friend places a hand gently on your shoulder, you might suddenly notice you’ve been holding tension there—and naturally let it go. CST works in a similar way, often bringing attention to small, specific areas that the body can then begin to release.

I often think of my hands as a flashlight—gently illuminating what needs care and letting the body take it from there.
