BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (BCST)

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, non-invasive approach to wellbeing for adults and infants alike. If you or your baby are in need of a nervous system reset, or a way to relieve physical and emotional tension, BCST can support that process. 

By working with the energies that generate and maintain health in the system, BCST sessions unfold from a belief that your body already knows how to right itself from imbalance. Work in sessions focuses on generating the right conditions for the body to do just that, while supporting the movement of fluids and tissues in and around the central nervous system to promote health. The work can zoom into specific areas of tension, or zoom out for more whole-body support. 

For infants and parents, BCST is particularly helpful with: 
-breastfeeding issues
-tongue/lip tie
-birth trauma
-colic
-pain
-digestive health
-bonding between parents and baby
-postpartum anxiety and depression

If your baby has recently been diagnosed with tongue or lip tie, BCST can be a good place to start, with more gentle approaches to unwinding tongue, jaw and neck tension, before making the decision to have a release done. 
 
For adults, BCST can support:
-nervous system imbalances present in anxiety & depression
-headaches & concussion
-TMJ
-fatigue
-stress and tension
-physical injury
-chronic pain
-trauma
-and more

SOMATIC THERAPY

A combination of both the Scientific and the Spiritual, this simple therapy works with your nervous system to help integrate past traumas, current challenges, life anxieties, and repetitive triggers. This work intends to help integrate within your body’s nervous system, which creates more choice in overwhelming situations and supports a more relaxed life.

You and Elizabeth will sit in chairs across from each other the whole time. Elizabeth will guide you on simple mindfulness meditation to allow your body to come into coherence. Your body will then lead the session as to where you need to go for self-healing through the simple asking of questions by Elizabeth. Many people have found relief within one sitting, and commitments are made for no more than three sessions at a time.

You do not need to have meditated before, have a spiritual/religious practice or understand somatic bodywork to get benefit from this session. Elizabeth’s expertise as a guide in energetic medicine will help reflect to you what your body is saying through the use of your body’s unique language. Her years of birthing experience have taught her to hold space with ease. You leave feeling more connected to your body’s wisdom and grounded in your physical body.

This work stems from a combination of 10 years of direct training with Ray Castellino in Pre & Perinatal Psychology, extensive training with Anna Chitty (who has worked with both Peter Levine & Ray Castellino for over 25 years), and 15 years of holding space as both a midwife and doula.

Office hours are on the East Side at GraceFull and on the West Side at WMNspace. Please email hello@gracefull.com to book your first session.
