Frequently Asked Questions

What do I wear to a CranioSacral Biodynamic session?

Unlike a massage, you will keep your clothes on during the session, so I recommend wearing something comfortable.

I have pillows, blankets and a heated table warmer for your added comfort.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for a CranioSacral Biodynamic session?

I encourage you to come up with an intention before the session. Something, either physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, that you would like to understand better or resolve. 

You will not need to share your intention with me. 

I believe that by having an intention allows for more communication between you and your Inner Wisdom.

What is the structure of a CranioSacral Biodynamic session?

Each session has a similar structure:

Wellness consult – reviewing your health history/symptoms, as well as discussing intention for treatment and a focus on resourcing;

CranioSacral Biodynamic session – hands-on portion; 

Wrap-Up – conversation about the session, question and answers; perhaps  some self-care suggestions. 

What might I feel while during a CranioSacral Biodynamic session?

Common experiences include: 

• feeling heat (especially where my hands are placed) 
• all over body warmth 
• pulsation
• movements on specific body parts
• relaxation/heaviness
• being supported
• no awareness of felt sensations 

You may also become aware during the session of other things, such as thoughts, memories and emotions. The process of resolution may become uncomfortable as the energetic forces/holding patterns release from your organism.

What are my responsibilities during a CranioSacral Biodynamic session?

Since the session is about you and your goals, my expectation is that you will:

• provide a complete and accurate health history
• inform me about any discomfort during a session
• be present during the session (this means to be relaxed and focused on what you are experiencing inside of your body)

Since touch is an important part of a CranioSacral Biodynamic session. At any time you can: 

• decline to receive touch on a particular part of the body
• provide feedback during or after receiving touch

What might I notice after a CranioSacral Biodynamic session?

Just as no two people (or snowflakes) are alike, no two experiences will be alike.

Most people report feeling:

• Relaxed
• Peaceful
• At-Ease
• Open
• Connected to Spirit
• Tired

Physically you might have sore muscles.

Occasionally people have reported a healing reaction – which is an increase in symptoms for a short period of time before the symptoms decrease or cease altogether.

In Full Disclosure – I am currently enrolled in the Foundation Training for Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy. This is a 3 year program and I am half way through (as of Jan 2023). I travel to Santa Fe, NM 4 times a year for each module.

This training continues to change me as a person and how I work. Some of you may know that previously I had studied Upledger CranioSacral Therapy and worked that way for over 11 years. This work, BCST (as it is abbreviated) is totally different and I find it to be much more therapeutic.

After every module that I attend, I am required to document my hands-on sessions. For this reason, I decided to reduce my price to $75 (from my regular price of $125).

You will still receive a session and whatever issues need to be worked on will get worked on. The only difference is on my end – I need to write some main points about the session. 

I feel more comfortable doing it this way until I have completely finished the training.
