Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy derived from osteopathy. The Biodynamic approach is one of enlivening developmental patterns and utilising three specific body rhythms for the healing process. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) informs clients of their healing capabilities through tangible physical and psychological experienced and usually taught during sessions, which is further augmented with grounding and embodying practices. Commensurately, BCST has been employed in the service of those suffering trauma, anxiety, neurological disorders/head injuries, autism, sleep, and digestive disorders. If you would like to talk about how BCST may be beneficial to you or simply book an appointment, please call the friendly practitioner of Sunshine Craniosacral Therapy.

Sunshine Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is located in an easy access, picturesque locale in Sunshine, in Melbourne's near West.  There is ample street parking and an off-street car space available.  We are an easy 11-minute walk from Sunshine Railway Station.  There are two steps to the clinic.

In the beginning the Biodynamic approach to Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) has us settling, and ultimately stopping, even if momentarily, to catch our breath, and to see.  Perhaps, there will be need to resource a while before we can really see.  Perhaps you’ll dive in from the outset. 

Biodynamics [life-, motions] are our healing modalities.  While we give them their names and bear witness to their mode of transforming the body and mind, the healing process is both a creation as yet unknown, and a journey to be undertaken.  I have noticed how Biodynamics is quite the empowering path.

To all human body-minds, BCST healing and accompanying deep relaxation and centring naturally offers benefit.  Some of the Biodynamics play out specifically throughout the central nervous system.  Therefore, BCST may be especially useful to those with trauma, sleep or neurological disorders.  Craniosacral therapy offers much appreciated support to those undertaking chemotherapy, and post chemotherapy. 

To artists too, an immensely rich and rewarding inner exploration of our extraordinary healing patterns, our becoming, and simultaneously, our experiencing life, our being is offered during sessions.  It is a kaleidoscopic avenue to exploring our inner cosmos as both art and artist.

Grounding and embodiment practice is an integral part of every appointment, whether subtly interwoven, or explicitly explored in broad or minute detail.  The Somatic Experiencing work of Peter Levine, as well as Steven Porges Polyvagal Theory is the instructive backdrop to this practice of embodiment.  Embodiment is learned primarily through on the table experiences or through intentional practice.

Please call to discuss your wonderings about what the Biodynamic approach to Craniosacral Therapy might offer to you.
