Craniosacral Therapy in Charlottesville, VA
A quiet, gentle hands-on session. It is for people who want deep rest, more body awareness and a softer kind of care.
Personalized Care
Gentle Bodywork for Rest, Comfort and Regulation
Craniosacral therapy is gentle hands-on bodywork. It uses light touch, not deep pressure. It may help people who feel stressed, tense or wired and want a calm way to unwind. We offer it at Transcending Health, 1445 Rio Road East in Charlottesville, VA.
Your session starts with a talk about your comfort, your health history and what you hope to feel. The pace is slow and calm, which gives your nervous system room to settle. Your practitioner adjusts your position and touch during the visit.
Every session starts with a short talk. If your needs go beyond wellness care, we will suggest you see a medical provider.

Before You Book
Who Craniosacral Therapy Is For and How to Prepare
Craniosacral therapy suits people who want very gentle bodywork: those who feel stressed or wired, people who dislike deep pressure, and anyone looking for a quiet hour of rest as part of a wider wellness plan. It can also be a softer option on days when firmer massage feels like too much.
A craniosacral therapy session at Transcending Health is $150. Wear comfortable clothing, since sessions are often received clothed, and plan a few unhurried minutes afterward before you drive. Tell your practitioner about recent injuries, headaches, procedures or pregnancy so they can adjust your position and touch.
We do not bill insurance, but HSA cards and CareCredit are welcome. Craniosacral therapy is wellness bodywork and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If you are unsure whether it or a massage is the better fit, call 434-465-2905 and we will help you choose.
