I spent most of the first twenty years of my working life behind a desk, so I understand the physical and psychological challenges that can bring. I took some time off 15 years ago and changed to a different way of life and I've been working as a bodyworker since then. Initially I trained in massage, then myofascial release work and more recently biodynamic craniosacral therapy. I'm passionate about the therapeutic benefits of touch in our touch-deprived society and about the body's own ability to rebalance when it feels safe and supported to do so.
I offer massage, myofascial release work and biodynamic craniosacral therapy at White Willow. Sessions are 60 mins long and cost £60, payable by cash or card on the day. I'm happy to have a brief chat beforehand to find out from you what brings you for treatment and what you'd like to get from a session - please let me know when you contact us whether you're happy for me to give you a call.
Sarah offers a massage which is unique to each session, incorporating massage and myofascial release techniques from her studies over the years, to address the particular issues which the client brings on the day. The aim is usually to help the nervous system to down regulate to allow the body's own healing system to engage and to help support rebalancing where this is needed, but including work to specific areas of tension.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy can help with many health problems whether they are physical, psychological, emotional or a bit of all three as this therapy recognises that all three are connected. Clients frequently come with IBS, fibromyalgia, ongoing aches and pains, sleep problems, auto immune conditions, anxiety and low mood and more. BCST is a very gentle but profound therapy in which the therapist tunes into a sense of stillness and from that place is able to gently connect with the subtle rhythms and flows of the client's body. This deep listening seems to allow the client's body to settle, pause and then begin to rebalance itself. The process encourages, and is often experienced as, a very deep sense of relaxation and letting go.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy isn't a quick fix but I believe that the changes which come about through a series of treatments are more likely to be long lasting as they are brought about by the client themselves, rather than being imposed by the therapist. The therapist's role is to support and witness how things are. If you have a long standing issue and feel as though other treatments haven't quite been able to resolve things as you hoped, it may be worth coming for a session of BCST. An initial session will probably be able to tell you whether this is an approach which resonates with you. BCST is carried out with the client clothed lying on a couch , or sitting in a chair of the couch is not comfortable.
