Craniosacral  Therapy​

​Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a subtle healing modality borne out of Osteopathy, the ancient art of bone setting. CST works on the physical, as well as, the emotional and subtle energetic levels to optimize the function and motility of the Craniosacral System, thereby supporting the body's entire system from the inside out.
  The Craniosacral System consists of the brain, the spinal cord, 22 cranial bones, the central nervous system, and the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects these structures and processes. It extends from the bones of the skull, face, and mouth (the cranium) down to the sacrum.
By tuning into the CS system, and particularly the cerebrospinal fluid, the practitioner assists in the release of the body's tension patterns, (both physical and emotional) thus allowing the bones, muscles, and tissues to move more freely. This freedom, in turn, allows the innate wisdom or "inherent treatment plan" of the body to come forth and express itself. Most clients experience a deep calm or rest both during and post-session for a few days (or longer) which is restorative and leaves them feeling resourced and able to meet their lives from a more grounded place within.

"I had my first full Cranio Sacral session with Tomi recently. I didn't really know what to expect, I've had lots of body work, and even some energy work. CST is somewhere in between-- physical things are happening but there is a subtle sweetness to the treatments that feels quite profound. When I arrived I was feeling really out-of-sorts and when I left I felt whole and healthy and full of ease again! I will definitively see Tomi again, especially when I am going through a phase of feeling off balance". E.T
