Craniosacral Therapy in Charlottesville, VA
A quiet, gentle hands-on session for people seeking deep rest, body awareness and a less forceful approach to restorative care.
Personalized Care
Gentle Bodywork for Rest, Comfort and Regulation
Craniosacral therapy uses light touch and attentive pacing rather than strong pressure or forceful manipulation. Many people search for it when they want a calm bodywork experience that gives the nervous system room to settle.
Your session begins with a conversation about comfort, relevant health history and what you hope to experience. The practitioner adapts positioning and contact throughout the visit.
Every session begins with a conversation. If your needs fall outside the appropriate scope of wellness care, we will encourage you to seek the right medical evaluation.
