Craniosacral Therapy for Adults

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy is a ‘light touch’ treatment, without massage or anatomical manipulation. The practitioner listens to the subtle changes beneath their hands - restrictions, releases, changes in breathing.

The essence of the work is that the blueprint for health and balance is already within each individual. The role of the practitioner is to bring the client’s awareness of this into place, so that their own tissues can make the subtle adjustments needed for balance.

The treatment takes place clothed, only shoes, tight belts, necklaces or large earrings need to be removed.

There is no set ‘routine’ to this treatment, and the practitioner will be guided by what feels right for the client.

This treatment is safe and unintrusive. So safe in fact that it is most well known for how it can help settle babies and young children who may have had difficult births. Kate Leftley works with Mothers and Babies at Moon.

What will happen in your session?

The session will be guided by you. Although there will be a few questions about your medical history, the focus in a first session will be to encourage you to access deep relaxation, and a sense of feeling safe.

From that place, you’ll begin to explore – and build on – being able to find that place with greater ease and consistency. In effect, you will be working with the physiology of what happens in stress, or, really, helping the felt sense of what happens when stress is released, de-stressed, let go off.

And how might you feel afterwards?

If possible, try not to immediately race back into busy activity. A lot goes on in a session, even though it might just feel like you have simply ‘relaxed a bit’ Emotional realisations or releases, even letting go of where physical tension has been unconsciously or consciously held, may make you feel a bit tired afterwards. Do keep well hydrated for the rest of the day, and work with what your body might seem to be asking for – whether that is rest or movement – some people will feel a good surge of energy after a session, which its also important to enjoy!

A springtime (re)introduction to Moon Wise Woman Practitioner, Isabella Norman.

Isabella is reflexologist with specialist post-diploma training in Facial Reflexology, Auricular Reflexology and Pregnancy Reflexology.

You can find her at Moon on Saturdays and during the week – she has appointments available tomorrow (Monday).

Over to Isabella 👇

I first came across reflexology when pregnant and was amazed at how treatments could have such a relaxing and calming effect on my mind and body. 

Now, as a qualified reflexologist, it is wonderful to be able to use reflexology to help support the well-being of people at various stages of their lives.

I am passionate about helping women to carve out time for themselves and their well-being. 

Often, the default position for many of us is to ignore stress and our own health needs until problems become evident. I believe that regularly ‘checking in’ with your body and taking time to relax can have numerous benefits. 

Reflexology treatments allow space for a focus on relaxation and all important ‘me-time’.

Having seen the effects of reflexology first-hand in private practice and through volunteering at a major London hospital, I am an advocate for this gentle holistic approach to improving well-being.

I offer foot reflexology for all ages, as well as specially adapted treatments for those in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. 

I also incorporated elements of her foot, facial and auricular reflexology training into two new offerings: the ‘Head’ and ‘Heart’ Sequences. Each sequence with a specific focus, these multi-modality reflexology sessions aim to maximise the effects by treating you from ‘top-to-toe’.

Outside of practising reflexology, I love nothing more than walking with my family on long hikes across the countryside, holidays in Italy and the smell of strong black coffee first thing in the morning.

It's been a busy week... there’s lots to tell.

Hopefully you’ll have received the New Moon Newsletter in your inbox this morning, if not you can find the link in our bio.

There’s news on Moon setting up a Community Interest Company, the closure of our local maternity units, a snapshot of a brilliant women’s health exhibition coming up in May and new events and treatments at Moon 

There are more things to tell you, but this newsletter already feels fit to burst, so it’ll wait for another day.
