CRANIO SACRAL THERAPY on the table!
Suffering? Tired of suffering? Do you feel that what you do on day to day basis adds to your dilemma?
Laura's focus is to help a subtle shift in your perspective about how you see your body and how you act every day by supporting a change in your outlook. Combined with a physical alignment of the body, integrated with your mind, YOU FIND YOUR POTENTIAL. What an adventure!
Cranio Sacral Therapy is a light-touch method of evaluating and enhancing the brain and spinal cord function. Developed by a Specialist Osteopath it encourages the body’s natural healing mechanisms to improve the function of the central nervous system, stimulate the body’s natural resources, deepen the sense of relaxation in the body and enhance health.
The gentle, non-invasive focus is to align the malleable bones of the cranium or skull with the rest of the spine down to the sacrum and pelvis. An imbalance or restriction in the Cranio Sacral system can cause many dysfunctions that seem unrelated to the problem. The Cranio Sacral therapist
is apt at sourcing the core of the issue and supporting the original trauma to release.
Most people find an increase in energy immediately, a challenge of change to pursue and a renewed optimism for living without pain. Most achieve this reality in 4-8 treatments, when you do your homework!
It's exciting to feel your body in ways you have not felt before, for example a stable sacrum! What is that? Well discover how this empowering and energising shift allows you to take responsibility more easily in the way you conduct yourself in your day, how not to hurt yourself and how to nurture yourself in every step. Bring it on!
Laura Lovelock R.N. B.Sc.,
Laura has a formal Bachelor of Science training as a registered nurse in Canada and has been in Cranio Sacral Therapy private practice for 17 years. She has also had 10 years experience working with children who have suffered developmental delays, attention deficits, autism and behavioural difficulties as coordinator with the Tomatis Method. An Auditory and Sensory Integration Program. (Toronto, Canada and Sydney, Australia)
In addition to her training in Cranio Sacral Therapy Laura completed an apprenticeship with Dr. Matte, a Doctor of Chiropractic, whose approach focused on Somato Emotional Release and body-mind integration.
Laura has recently returned from living in Germany where she studied Aquawellness. This Aquatic Bodywork allows her to incorporate her Cranio Sacral treatments with floating a client in warm water. This provides the optimum environment to induce the deepest form of relaxation possible. This multi-dimensional space allows the body to release muscle tension quickly and settles one into a deeper state of meditation that leads to another state of consciousness. (Available at a private location.)
Laura’s approach is to gently bring your awareness to your body’s inner tension, pain and holding patterns. During the alignment of your head and spine she facilitates a softening in your attachment to habitual restrictions and allows the body to resonate with more energy.
MORE ABOUT CRANIO SACRAL THERAPY...........
CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the cranio sacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions in the cranio sacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
- Migraine Headaches
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain
- Motor-Coordination Impairments
- Colic
- Autism
- Central Nervous System Disorders
- Orthopedic Problems
- Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
- Scoliosis
- Infantile Disorders
- Learning Disabilities
- Chronic Fatigue
- Emotional Difficulties
- Stress and Tension-Related Problems
- Connective-Tissue Disorders
- Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
- Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Post-Surgical Dysfunction
AQUATIC BODYWORK in the water!
Aquatic bodywork is moves and stretches done in time with the breath while being held and floated in warm water. Combined with the therapeutic benefits of warm water, the trust established and the greater freedom of movement it encourages, the experience creates a modality that has both specific therapeutic results and healing on many levels.
A deep state of relaxation comes about from settling into warm water, the connection established from being floated, the absence of gravity’s pressure and the greater freedom of movement that warm water encourages.
SOMATO EMOTIONAL RELEASE
SomatoEmotional Release is a therapeutic process that expands on the principles of Cranio Sacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma.
Joint research efforts by Dr. John Upledger and biophysicist Dr. Zvi Karni led to the discovery that the body often retains (rather than dissipates) physical forces. This is often the result of an accident, injury, or emotional trauma. The dysfunctional area is isolated, creating what is called an “energy cyst”. Although a reasonably healthy body can adapt to “energy cysts,” extra energy is required to perform normal bodily functions. As time passes, the adaptive pattern of the body loses its effectiveness.
Symptoms begin to appear and, over time, become more difficult to suppress. The Somato Emotional Release process requires extreme sensitivity on the part of the therapist and a positive attitude and trust from the client/patient.

Why Cranio Sacral Therapy Matters So Much to You?
Few structures in your body have as much influence over its ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up your central nervous system. And few systems have as much impact on the brain and spinal cord as the soft tissues and fluid that surround and protect them — the cranio sacral system.
Every day the body endures stresses and strains and your structures compensate for them. Unfortunately, over time these compensations can cause your soft tissue to tighten and distort the cranio sacral system, which in turn can put pressure on the brain and spinal cord.
- The result? A barrier to the healthy performance of your central nervous system — and potentially every other system with which it interacts.
- Cranio Sacral Therapy is designed to release those soft-tissue tensions. Practitioners use a soft touch —— to evaluate how well your cranio sacral system is performing. Then they use gentle techniques to release any tensions they find.
- By restoring the best possible environment for your brain and spinal cord, Cranio Sacral Therapy naturally helps the rest of your body self-correct. It eliminates the negative effects of stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your overall health and well-being.
- CranioSacral Therapy has been used successfully to relieve numerous health problems. They include migraines, neck and back pain, TMJ dysfunction, chronic fatigue, ADD/ADHD, central nervous system disorders and many others. And because it’s so gentle, it’s been proven effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.
