Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)
BCST is a gentle hands-on treatment which can be profoundly beneficial for a wide range of physical, emotional and psychological health conditions. The biodynamic nature of this work means that it is the clients’ own system that sets the pace, according to its readiness to meet, unfold or release certain patterns. Treatments calm the nervous system, and as a result the body can access its own healing resources, for rejuvenation, repair, reintegration and release of all that is no longer needed. Enhanced levels of vibrancy and health result when the client is ready to unfold their own potential by deepening their sense of embodied awareness. David’s use of respectful and non-forceful touch allows those internal processes, that are ready to be met, to unfold in a safe and nurturing way. Gradually deeply held tensions and patterning are released. This reorganisation within the client’s system allows creativity to flourish and deep insights to occur. This holistic work embraces whatever arises on the physical, psychological and emotional levels, including trauma, from prenatal and birth influences and life experiences in general. The profound influence of BCST promotes embodied awareness and deepened and expanded states. Craniosacral Therapy works at a deep level with your nervous system, and has been found beneficial for a wide range of conditions including:
back pain, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica
migraines
recovery from injuries and accidents
anxiety, depression and PTSD & cPTSD and effects of trauma or shock generally
birth trauma
IBS
autoimmune conditions and Chronic fatigue
support during pregnancy and post natal
menopause & perimenopause

Embodied Movement Meditation

The Embodied Movement and Meditation is offered in groups and on a 1-1 basis. It is informed by decades of David’s personal practice and teacher training in qi gong, tai qi and other movement and meditation practices. Combining biodynamic and biomechanical principles, the movement sessions are a fluid combination of seated, standing and floorwork that are adapted to support various levels of ability and capacity. The meditative movement offered is also based on an understanding of the fluid body dynamics and the potential gained through craniosacral practice. Sound and music may be used in sessions to further assist focus and deepening awareness and relaxation. The effects of treatment and movement sessions are powerful and are mutually enhancing and resourcing. It is for this reason that David encourages participation in embodied movement work to support the developments gained from craniosacral treatments and vice versa. Pricing

The Final session yesterday at The Planetary Healing Centre was really special and blessed with a visit from a wee baby squirrel. Lovely weather especially given the time of year.

Thank you to Claudia & Mark for inviting me and to all who attended over the four sessions, I loved them all.

Thank you to Paul for his presence & musical accompaniment and help with all the practicalities & much more.

Just helped to deliver another 5 day seminar in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST).

Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy, an incredibly gentle but nuanced and deep form of bodywork never ceases to amaze me as a modality for integration, embodied consciousness; as a treatment for complex and simple mental and physiological conditions, support for the opening of greater capacities of creativity, release of stagnation, settling activations of the nervous system, addressing sleep & anxiety issues, moving through grief and other large transitions in life.

The world has a great need for depth work at this time.

I offer treatments in Linlithgow and Edinburgh and other locations by arrangement. I also offer a form of online treatment which has been very effective irrespective of distance, to some clients.

This work complements the movement and sound sessions I offer. I can offer a combination of BCST treatments and movement or sound sessions which are mutually supportive in the journey towards greater wellness, more aliveness and a movement out of contracted states of stress or to support the lessening/ dissolution of states of stagnation and depression.

Inspiring presence within ones body / mind and in relation to the circumstances of ones life and the environment and relationships, even ones multidimensional nature, which are not really separate is an approach which brings greater ease and aliveness, a tangible resource even in challenging times.

Message if you’d like a free no obligation discovery call to hear more or to look into the suitability of these treatments and approaches in relation to your own particular circumstances or health conditions, or to discuss the Practitioner training course which takes place at the Salisbury Centre in Edinburgh. This is as much a course for personal transformation as it is to become a registered craniosacral therapist.
