Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle hands on treatment which has its roots in oesteopathy, it can be beneficial for almost any condition, as it works with the bodies inherent healing potential, from structural to emotional conditions, or for finding a restful relaxing stillness, which in turn resources the body and brings a sense of wellbeing.
My treatments involve listening to the natural craniosacral rhythm in the body, a subtle tidal fluid motion of the cerebral spinal fluid. This tidal motion is produced by the body’s inherent life force, called the Breath of Life. This motion has great importance in carrying the breath of life throughout the body, as long as it is expressed, health will follow.
The potency of the breath of life, carries an essential blueprint for health, which acts as a basic ordering principle at a cellular level.
The treatment provides an opportunity for the body to recognise and let go of holding patterns and return to a more central balanced and healthier state of being.
I feel that craniosacral therapy allows an exploration and enquiry of the body and its healing principles, through a deep listening to body intelligence, witnessing the present moment in the dynamic stillness at our core, and opening into the wider field of perception from there….
I trained in biodynamic craniosacral therapy, and have been practicing since 2006, I look forward to sharing this treatment with you.

Craniosacral Therapy For Mother & Baby
First treatments after birthing deeply relax mothers and often give them a renewed sense of themselves and their bodies. Babies also benefit greatly from a craniosacral treatment, helping them to unlock subtle problems associated with their birth that, if left untreated can become a more embedded condition later on.
Issues that often arise such as colic, glue ear, eating difficulties and later teething…can benefit from treatments… also shock or trauma, from the journey of birth, especially after forceps or ventouse delivery, and for mothers for pelvic realignment, hormonal rebalancing, and post operative care if needed.
I recommend that mothers and baby are both treated after the birth as they are so interconnected at this time.

Testimonials
“I incurred an injury in 2015 whilst living in Australia doing yoga (of all things) and visited a physio there who diagnosed the injury as a meniscus tear which was confirmed by an MRI scan. The physio recommended I saw a surgeon who said I needed surgery because meniscus tears do not heal due to a lack of blood supply (I was 47 at the time). He offered to book me in for surgery immediately. I was reluctant to proceed and was moving back to the UK so sought a second opinion here from a highly recommended physio and surgeon who said exactly the same thing, and that until I had an operation it would keep bothering me.
Natalie was recommended to me by a friend and I saw her about five times. I have never been bothered in the seven years since. I play tennis and go mountain biking regularly, and also paddleboard, skateboard, surf and snowboard. The point about meniscus tears not being able to heal is obviously not correct. Indeed, my current physio has since advised me that the thinking is changing in regards to meniscus tears. If you are in doubt as to whether surgery is the right thing to do, I would definitely suggest seeing Natalie for a few sessions. I can’t recommend her enough.”
— Damian.
“Natalie is a calm and centred presence and is a powerful craniosacral practitioner. She has treated me and my partner and our daughter when she was only a couple of weeks old after her ventouse delivery. Natalie is responsive, good at communicating her “findings” at the end of the therapy session and provides good continuity between sessions as she cross refers to her notes. I always come away relaxed and having felt the benefit of her work.”
— Jenni.
“When I first started going to Natalie for treatment, my body was in a state of extreme tension and contraction. Through her sensitive and intuitive practice I have been able to recognise and release those underlying patterns and and so enable my body to heal itself, without the instant and often false fix of medication.It has been a slow process, due to the deep-rooted nature of my problems but one of genuine and holistic healing.”
— Nigel.
‘I have been having cranial sacral therapy with Natalie for over 10 years. Initially seeking help for horrible migraines and more recently for arm and shoulder pain left over from a surgery. In both cases I have experienced great benefit and pain relief. Occasionally I've had treatments just for a sense of well-being.
Natalie is very professional, she creates a safe space and is very caring.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone.”
— Chevonne.
“I have been seeing Natalie consistently for around three months. When I came to her I had various issues, including sciatica, tinnitus, jaw and dental issues, plus emotional traumas held within me. The sessions have been very eventful, from feeling an intense physical warmth of healing when Natalie placed her hands upon my feet and head, right through to releasing energy through my mouth and muscles. Everything has been calm and painless, and all the ailments I came to her with have now gone. I feel that more of us are discovering the work of people like Natalie, and learning to trust that her methods can heal. My healing came as a result of this faith in her practice, and my commitment to a course of therapy, rather than expecting success in one or two sessions. I would urge anyone seeking betterment through her to commit as wholeheartedly as they can, and then are more likely to see amazing results.”
— Ben.
“The first time I had craniosacral therapy, I had been gifted a voucher for a session with Natalie so I didn’t know what to expect. I can only describe what happened that day as pure magic. I climbed into her beautiful yurt, like stepping over a threshold into a more ancient, liminal space, in the pouring rain and stepped out to see the sun bursting through the dark clouds and the most extraordinary rainbow arching from one end of the earth to the other. This seemed like a fitting metaphor for my own journey in that blissful hour. Since then, at each monthly session, I have felt more keenly the pull of the healing currents of my body, my creativity and my soul, always accompanied by the empathic cacophony of nature, that is always seeking to integrate my stuck and stagnant places. I have found my whole experience with Natalie profound, deeply healing, mythical and wonderfully soulful. Deep gratitude and recognition for your extraordinary gift for sensing, holding and being with all your clients bring Natalie. A rare gift I think 🙏”
— Caitlin.
