Craniosacral Therapy
in Vancouver WA
Gently awaken your body’s natural ability to heal, restore balance, and reconnect to your core. At its heart, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that taps into the body's deepest rhythms—the subtle pulse that flows between the head and pelvis. Through light touch, CST helps release restrictions in the craniosacral system to support the central nervous system, ease tension, and promote whole-body wellness.
Craniosacral Therapy focuses on the rhythmic flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the brain and spinal cord. When this system moves freely, your body operates with greater ease. When blockages or tension occur, symptoms like chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, learning difficulties, or fatigue can arise.
​
Through gentle, non-invasive touch, CST helps restore the body’s natural rhythm—unlocking deep healing potential without force or manipulation.

FAQs
What does Craniosacral Therapy feel like? Craniosacral Therapy is incredibly gentle. Most people experience a deep sense of relaxation, warmth, and inner stillness during a session. Some feel subtle sensations of release or movement, while others may simply feel very peaceful. Every experience is unique—and your body leads the way.
How is Craniosacral different from massage? While both Craniosacral Therapy and massage use touch to promote healing, they are very different experiences. Massage typically focuses on manipulating muscles and soft tissue to relieve tension and improve circulation. Craniosacral Therapy, on the other hand, uses extremely light touch to work with the rhythm of the craniosacral system—the delicate flow of fluids and membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It’s less about kneading muscles and more about helping the body rebalance itself at a deep, core level.
