What is BCST?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, yet very powerful therapeutic technique that enables healing and a return to balance and wholeness. This respectful hands-on therapy incorporates gentle touch/holding, helping to regulate the body’s nervous system and find internal resources which assist with the healing process. The body knows how to heal itself and BCST supports the innate wisdom of the body.
The flow of energy in the body is thought of as a “tide” - much like ocean waves ebbing and flowing.
What to expect in a BCST session
The therapeutic relationship begins from first contact. In the first face to face meeting, we’ll have an initial discussion about your health and what you hope to gain from BCST.
You will then be invited to lie fully clothed on the treatment table (similar to a massage table). Your comfort and feeling of safety is paramount through the whole session.
With your readiness and permission, Ursula will, with a gentle, light touch, place her hands on your body, typically beginning with your ankles/feet, lower back (sacrum) or your head (cranium). With deep listening and stillness, this holding creates a calming effect on your nervous system. This gentle regulation of your body helps you feel more connected and embodied and works powerfully to benefit your entire system – mind, body and spirit.
Sessions usually last 1 hour.
