Three Rivers Craniosacral Therapy

November is Mens mental Health awareness month (well strictly speaking it's June) but heh.. M'ovember's got some big momentum and raises awareness of Men's meantal Health, cruclially it seeeks to help change the culture of mens mental health by focusing on prevention, early intervention and health promotion.

Men might hide their mental health struggles for many reasons including societal pressure, stigma, race, expectations around masculinity and stocisim

Some stats on mens mental heath;
- 12.5% men have a mental health disorder
- 3 x more men are likely to die by su***de in England than women, whilst globally on average 1 man dies by su***de every minute of every day (sources; Movember and Mental Health UK)

On the subject of speaking.. talking therapies are not always the best first place for men, or anyone in fact.. the body always speaks even when the words won't / don't come.

Craniosacral therapy orients to the innate health that's ever present at an embodied level. Working with promoting the health, we build resources and increase vitality in a safely attuned and grounded therapeutic realtionship that honors the wisdom of the body, through all the difficulties and challenges life throws our way. As the therapeutic environment of the relationship supports the health and it also gives space for experinces to arise from the body - not only through words - in this sense it is truley Wholistic.

As my practicie is continuing to grow and evolve in it's 10th anniversary year I've exepanded my availabillity and am currently taking on new clients all across the winter.

💫 It’s a wonderful thing to celebrate with clients when they experience the improvements in wellbeing they are seeking! 💫

🔹 In my clinic I use the WHHQ to help demonstrate positive outcomes from Craniosacral Therapy

🔹 CST is a very gentle body-based therapy that works with the body's innate capacity to heal itself. CST listens, supports, and helps restore balance by working with subtle movements in the nervous system and tissues. When a skilled therapist gently tunes into these movements, they can help your system let go of held tension, stress patterns, or the after-effects of injury and trauma. This process happens through touch and is guided by the deep intelligence of health.

🔹 I’ve recently been working with a client who is seeking support with anxiety, fatigue and a dysregulated nervous system. After 10 weekly sessions their score improved by +20 points. A wonderful example demonstrating the positive effect Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can have on Wellbeing 🙌

On world mental health day I want to share this - This image shows the silhouette of Ben Raemers at my local skatepark in Croxley. Ben's image is stencilled on to concrete in many skateparks. Ben was an incredibly gifted professional skateboarder with a challenging childhood background who tragically took his life in 2019. His sister Lucy of the Ben Raemers Foundation says about skateboarding culture..
‘In the past, skateboarding has had this culture where people do not talk about mental health but now we are changing that.. Professional skateboarders have started opening up about their mental health issues and that has sparked more conversations’

Persoannly I’ve always used skateboarding as a way to shift my energy and mood, to set myself challenges and goals, and take risks.. all ways of building my resources and looking after myself. At 11-16 it was literally a lifeline! But more recently over the last decade I’ve noticed and appreciated just how inclusive and supportive skaters are as a community and fellowship.

Essentially if you’re passionate about skating you’re welcome, you're part of something that we are all dicovering and creating together in our own unique ways, something we celebrate together no matter how small the challenge! That’s something rare and precious in the current era, something to celebrate!

As a Biodynamic craniosacral therapist, I work through therapeutic touch whilst holding relationally attuned space for my clients. Sometimes merely being meet in touch can be profoundly healing. But additionally, I work to support my clients to begin using simple exercises to identify and create their own embodied resources – the things that’ll bring them trust, resilience, hope and confidence in themselves and in their capacity to feel good and celebrate the highs and navigate the lows. Skateboarding is one of my resources. What are yours? if you're local you might have seen me at Croxley, the XC or any number of local spots.

Suicidal ideation is more common than is societally recognised. If you or someone you know needs support tel Samaritans 116113 tel NHS 111 - 24 hours every day

With respect to Ben his family and friends, and to anyone who is suffering with mental health. Please just speak to someone, for you are worth more than you will ever know.

I currently have space to take on new clients for Biodynamic craniosacral therapy appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays - We can work to address and support specific issues, or more generally for increased well-being, through taking time out 'just for you' to deeply relax, let go and restore. Sessions can be taken over different time frames and frequency. We commonly work together over a series of sessions initially, and then go down to occaisional top up sessions. Please enquire for availability.

I am an approachable, respectful, compassionate and a safe practitioner. I am in therapy myself and undertake regular professional supervision. I adhear to and follow the guidance and code of conduct of the professional regulatory body of Craniosacral therapists in the uk - the CSTA and am listed on their practitioner directory.

Not all therapists are safe and ethical. Did you know anyone can call themselves a therapist as it's not a protected title?! So please be safe and check out the CSTA practitioner directory to know you are in safe hands with a practitioner who has minimum 2 year practioner training through an accredited and certifed school, not just someone who took a five day course somewhere, there's a big difference!

Conditions I support clients with include -

Physical pain
TMJ disorder
Post surgical recovery and pre-surgery preparation
Anxiety and stress reduction
Disregulated nervous system
Trauma - Developmental, relational and shock trauma
Abandonment
Bereavment
Dissociation

🌿 Tense, anxious, or feeling disconnected from your body?
That tight jaw, sore neck, constant fatigue, or wired-but-tired feeling — it’s not just in your head.
It’s your nervous system asking for support.
✨ Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, yet powerful way to help your body release stored stress and come back into balance.
Through subtle touch and deep listening, this work supports your system to:
🤍 Ease tension and pain
🤍 Calm anxiety and overwhelm
🤍 Regulate your nervous system naturally
🤍 Feel grounded, centred, and safe in your body
You don’t have to push through or shut down anymore.
Your body already knows how to heal — sometimes it just needs the right space to do so.
💛 If you’re craving rest, reconnection, and realignment — this is for you.

Have you ever taken a moment to truly listen to your body?

Discover a Different Kind of Bodywork: Gentle, Deeply Restorative, and Grounded in Stillness. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural healing ability. Unlike massage or structural bodywork, CST doesn’t impose change—it listens, supports, and helps restore balance by working with subtle movements in the nervous system and tissues.

Why CST might speak to you:
If you’ve ever felt that your nervous system is stuck in "go mode"—even when you rest—or that your body holds onto tension despite stretching or movement, CST offers another path. It works at a foundational level to support long-term recovery, regulation, and ease.

Craniosacral Therapy may support:
• Muscle tension & joint pain
• Headaches, jaw issues (TMJ), or tinnitus
• Fatigue, sleep issues, or burnout
• Anxiety, emotional stress, or past trauma
• Nervous system regulation & recovery

Craniosacrsal therapy may help you recover your inner balance and calm through promoting wellbeing at physiological, emotional and psychological levels, settling the nervous system back into homeostasis and optimizing energy levels.
Led at the pace of the wisdom of your body, over time and through regular sessions you can begin to unfold and release from patterns that no longer serve you well to rediscover your pristine health.
