CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Do you feel that your body is unnecessarily holding onto tension?
Do you have physical issues you’d like to resolve?
Do you often feel fatigued and wish for more energy?
If so, a craniosacral therapy session might be just what you need!
Every experience or emotion that arises in life without being acknowledged, fully felt, or processed, remains with us.
Trauma is pain that has been suppressed because it was too unsafe to experience at the time. This could be due to being too young or because the experience or period was too overwhelming to process in its entirety.
Although the trauma has been pushed aside, sometimes so deeply that we seem to forget it, it doesn’t disappear. It’s stored in the subconscious and becomes anchored in a specific area of the body.
The energy surrounding an unresolved experience essentially becomes "frozen."
Life energy can no longer flow freely through that area, diverting around it instead. This requires a significant amount of energy, leaving your body fatigued without an apparent reason.
This often manifests as physical symptoms.
These can include specific ailments, but more commonly, there’s a general sense of unease and not feeling your best.
Through the craniosacral rhythm, which can be felt throughout the body, potential blockages are located. These blockages are released using gentle techniques.
Symptoms are alleviated, unresolved emotions are brought to the surface and can then be acknowledged, understood and released. Energy within the body can flow freely again, allowing you to feel more joy and a greater sense of well-being.
Physical issues can also arise from incidents such as a fall from a bicycle, a concussion years ago, an accident and more. These incidents can increase tension in one or more areas of the body. This tension may lead to movement restrictions in various tissues.
Examples include a stiff neck, tennis elbow or lower back pain. Movement restrictions can also affect essential bodily functions, potentially causing issues such as digestive problems, migraines or fatigue.
Conditions where craniosacral therapy has proven effective include:
Headaches, neck and shoulder issues, chronic fatigue, burnout, back pain, sleep problems and stress.
PSYCH-K®
This is a tool I use to easily resolve limiting beliefs with the help of muscle testing, replacing stress with calm and balance.
If a series of negative beliefs and self-limiting subconscious programming are present, they can cause significant difficulties in daily life:
- the endless voice in your head that criticises you
- feeling unsure about yourself
- not feeling at ease in your own skin
- constant frustration over recurring themes
- struggling to achieve your goals despite your efforts
- difficulty creating lasting change
Through PSYCH-K®, we can transform sabotaging beliefs, patterns, stressful situations, physical conditions and the perceptions you hold about yourself into ones that align with what you truly want.
I offer individual craniosacral therapy sessions for adults and children aged 3 and above, PSYCH-K® sessions, multi-day women’s wellness retreats, and a one-day renewal retreat for women. These retreats include yoga, meditation, discussions on meaning and happiness, detox practices, awareness and healing.
Individual sessions (Craniosacral Therapy or PSYCH-K®), which last about an hour, are held at the Therapeutisch Centrum Leiden and are available by appointment. The rate is €85 per hour.
