Therapeutic relational touch (also known as craniosacral therapy) is a route towards embodiment and healing that is trauma-informed, philosophically grounded, and scientifically supported.

Touch, listening, and attentional skills are used to support and modulate your nervous system, helping you slow down, become present, and feel safer within yourself and the world.

Expanding our capacity to sense and feel is essential for nurturing a healthy body-mind relationship, as well as developing emotional awareness and regulation. Just as vital is having the language and frameworks to make sense of what we feel. As a somatic practitioner, I work not only with the body but also through dialogue—drawing on philosophical and scientific understanding to support you in exploring and interpreting your sensory experience.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle form of bodywork that uses light, therapeutic touch to support physiological processing and body-mind integration. When I place my hands on areas such as the cranium, spine, shoulders, or feet, I enter a dialogue with the whole person—not only their fluid, tissue, and sensory structures, but also their stories, emotional landscape, and moment-to-moment embodied awareness.

The body-mind is always processing, yet we can become caught in limiting patterns of thought, emotion, posture, or behaviour. Craniosacral therapy cultivates subtle body awareness in the present moment. This attentiveness becomes a therapeutic pathway for integrating and transforming physical, emotional, and cognitive patterns—supporting greater agency, embodiment, and self-regulation.

Touch is a powerful and often underused resource in supporting all aspects of health. First developed in utero, touch remains foundational to how we relate to ourselves and the world. In craniosacral therapy, touch communicates listening and compassion. It also provides vital feedback, amplifying awareness of subtle internal states. The quality of touch used engages specific nerve fibres that are finely attuned to gentle contact and central to body awareness and consciousness.

As a practitioner, I also receive information through my hands—subtle rhythms, textures, and movements within the soft tissue-fluid matrix. This sensory dialogue informs our shared process. Craniosacral therapy is inherently relational; my nervous system and the clients engage in a subtle, co-regulating exchange within an intentional field, where the guiding principle is connection to health.

Relationality is at the heart of what it is to be human.
