Three Rivers Craniosacral Therapy

Happy Easter!
My busy and thriving Cranio clinic is taking a pause for a few days over Easter and is fully booked on Tuesday, 7 April
I’ll be away teaching on the Circle Cranio biodynamic practitioner training seminar 9 in the penultimate seminar before this wonderful cohort of soon to be professional Craniosacral therapists with the most up-to-date and fresh training graduate in June 26.
I’ll be teaching on the topics of ‘balance and integration’ in relation to the Jaw and pelvis, and Porges’ Polyvagal theory and the social engagement system through a combination of hands-on practice embodied movement scores and theory.
In parallel modes of practice, I’m looking forward to several dance movement projects across this year and next

0rientation to gravity and spaciousness is a portal that I use in clinical practice to help facilitate clients awareness of their embodiment and grounding as we begin the session work, I find it’s a profound method.
As my Craniosacral practice grows it’s now popping up in multiple locations, so I have more appointments available and I’m looking to take on new clients who would benefit from my orientation towards grounding, presence, spaciousness and getting in touch with the experience of health as it moves, manifests and enables change in the living physiology, psychology, emotional, and spiritual lenses of our perceptual experience.
Curious about Cranio? Do get in touch. I’m approachable, relational,patient, open and curious…
Have a good Easter
Go well!

🧮 Resources for health.. What are yours?

🪞 Ask yourself what 3 things you do that bring you a sense of completeness and allow your cares to take a rest?

In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions we begin by finding a 'felt sense' of embodied health, and throught the portal of that tangible yet almost nameless sensation and feeling tone of wellness we enter into states of balance and integration where healing occcurs.

We support this in a wider lives by paying attention to the things we do that we love, that bring us purpose and meaning, wellbeing. It could partcipation, community, fulfilment, activities, nature, meditation, creative practice, baking.. it's uniquely personal.. but the foundational point is that we touch in with them regularly as they feed our health.

Curious to explore how craniosascral therapy might be the creative, non-judgmental, compassionate and clincially informed listening-through-touch treatment modality that you're looking for?

Drop me a line or a message for bookings or to have a chat about any questions you have. I'm approachable and looking forward top hearing from you

Go Well! Ben Ash rcst bcst

When I left home (again) at 17 to follow my dream and begin my professional dance training in London my wonderful Dad gave me a copy of the book 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' by Richard Bach. Inside the cover he simply wrote 'Fligh, Ben All my Love Dad' Thank you Dad, I'm still vibing with that!

Have a good day, your good heart deserves it!

Some recent reflections on ‘embodiment’ within biodynamic Craniosacral therapy. Looking at health and the histories and wounding that may be present in our embodiment, cultivating curiosity to notice and attend to the bodies wish to be listened to in that, getting to experience the Health and goodness that is ever present at a core level of being, from where we can bear witness with presence as change manifests. Appointments available weekdays and some evenings. I am currently able to take on a few new clients, if you’re interested please do get in touch to book or arrange a 20min Ressonance chat with me to discuss any questions you may have about how Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy might be right for you.

Sometimes a young person doesn’t have the words for what they are carrying.
Instead, the body speaks.
Migraines.
Insomnia.
Digestive discomfort.
Withdrawal.
Difficulty concentrating.
For many adolescents, stress related to school pressure, friendships, family dynamics, and the unrelenting stimulation of the digital age can overwhelm a still-developing nervous system. What cannot yet be expressed in language is often held in physiology.
Families often first seek support for a specific symptom. Yet over time, the work becomes something deeper — a shift from focusing solely on the ailment to supporting the underlying regulation that makes experience feel manageable again.
In my work with adolescents, sessions are a co-regulated space of safety and presence. Parents are welcomed and remain present as companions in the room. The young person may talk, sit quietly, read, move around, or pause when needed. The therapeutic space adapts to them — restoring a sense of agency in a world that can feel overwhelming.
Through gentle Craniosacral Therapy, we support the nervous system’s capacity to settle and reorganise. When the body no longer needs to hold stress so tightly, symptoms may begin to soften.
While each individual responds differently, supporting nervous system regulation can profoundly influence sleep, pain patterns, emotional resilience, and the quality of relationships between young people and their caregivers.
I also work with adults who recognise similar patterns in themselves — chronic headaches, persistent insomnia, digestive tension, or a sense of being constantly “on.”
Sometimes the work begins with symptom relief.
Often it evolves into reconnecting with a deeper, steadier sense of self.
Appointments are available. If you feel this may support your child — or yourself — you are welcome to get in touch for a no-obligation 20min chat to dicsuss any questions you may have.

Following six sessions with a 15-year-old experiencing frequent migraines and insomnia, her mother shared:
“We really appreciate the treatment you gave DG. Her migraines have settled significantly — now perhaps once a month rather than several times a week, and they no longer linger for hours. She’s sleeping much better. Before she was withdrawn and flat, but now she has an openness — more spontaneous and motivated. A completely different energy. It’s so lovely to see.” — H - Mother

🧘‍♀️ If you’d like to take a few mins to drop into to a slower, calming sense of embodied presence, why not pop over and visit my website Resources page for a short guided settling contemplation.
🕔 It’s 10mins and gently orients you to the material and fluid nature of your embodiment and perception, - experience is happening, it’s flowing and you are spaciously present to it.. This is taken from a guided meditation I gave in a group context but can be used as an individual resource. Try it and see what it brings you
✍️ Leave a comment on your experience.
In Biodynamic craniosacral therapy we actively orient to cultivating embodied resources as a support for our health to manifest in tangible down-to-earth ways which we can return to in the day-to-day, bringing in glimmers of wellness beyond the sessions.
☑️ If this interests you and you’d like to learn more please reach out for a chat I’d love to hear from you, or book a session via my contact details in post and bio. Go well! Ben

Transcripit of excerpt -
- Gently inviting your attention to drop in the direction of your body
- If there’s a lot of movement in your mind and thinking, that’s OK..
- Don’t try to push anything away, just open the gateway to include the sense of being in your body right now
- Notice the sense of your contact with the floor
- A sense of your weight-fullness
- And the quality of that support, how do you feel that right now?

Looking forward to this research being shared! Three Rivers Craniosacral Therapy uses the MeasureWell WHHQ in clinic to help evaluate real world client outcomes and contribute to the evidence base for the therapeutic benefits of Craniosacral Therapy. Clients have the option to opt in or not participate in the WHHQ Measure Well questionnaire of wellbeing at their first session and at other points during the session work we undertake together

📊 Coming soon: Measuring the Impact of Craniosacral Therapy

The Craniosacral Therapy Association is proud to share key insights from its upcoming Annual Report, developed in partnership with Measure Well Ltd.

Drawing on data collected, this public summary explores:
• Who is accessing craniosacral therapy
• Why people seek CST
• The changes clients report in their wellbeing

This work represents an important step in strengthening the evidence base for CST and supporting practitioners to clearly demonstrate the value of their work.

📅 Full report coming soon
