Craniosacral Therapy in Exeter for Babies
Craniosacral Therapy is suitable for babies as the technique is extremely gentle but effective. It can be very helpful even in small babies recovering from birth and even events before that. Alison is able to gain an understanding of an infant's story partially through the body language that is expressed. Even for babies 'being heard' regarding a traumatic event can help them let go of it and allowing healing. Alison also has experience working with adults to allow release of long held birth trauma. This can allow clients to feel more complete in themselves and let go of subconcious strategies and ways of thinking that no longer serve them and may have been causing physical discomfort through patterns of tension.

"Healing is a matter of time but it is also sometimes a matter of opportunity" Hippocrates
How Does it Work?
Craniosacral Therapy was developed by Osteopath William Sutherland to work with the whole person and the body's own self-regulatory and self-healing systems, with consideration of the anatomy involved.
Trauma (physical and emotional) and modern life (with all it's stresses); often triggers fight or flight responses; or defensive strategies and patterns of tension. These can be hard to let go of and can leave us in a partially activated state; with areas of tension, pain and a variety of conditions. If these states remain 'held' they can lead to various long term effects including chronic pain and fatigue.
The profound relaxation often reported during Craniosacral Therapy; allows the body to unwind and come out of these activated states (partially using the parasympathetic nervous system, at it's designated task). As the systems in the body are able to flow more freely, the body’s own healing processes are able to work more effectively with gentle support from the practitioner.
In this way all sorts of different traumas, however long held, can have an opportunity to heal themselves whether felt in body, mind or spirit and we can become more present to ourselves.
