“Cranio-Sacral therapy has changed my life, I’m no longer in a constant state of anxiety, my panic attacks have gone and my health is stronger than it’s ever been.”
I’ve had a successful career working as a PR in the music industry for over 20 years now and have been lucky enough to work and tour the world with some very high profile bands and celebrities. Music was always my big passion and after leaving university, I landed a job at a major record label where I lived and breathed my job which entailed lots of evenings and weekend socialising on top of long office hours.
In my early thirties my whole world fell apart when my younger sister lost her life in a car crash. My family didn’t cope so well either, particularly my mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years later, a battle she bravely fought for several years before finally losing her life 10 years after my sister. Amongst of all of this sadness and loss, I continued on with my career, got married and had a daughter but then subsequently went through a divorce when she was 3 years old. During this period my physical and mental health understandably suffered but I soldiered on. I experienced frequent viral infections, fatigue, severe anxiety, back & shoulder pain and panic attacks.
I discovered Cranio-Sacral therapy by accident on a yoga retreat in Spain when a therapist offered it to me as an alternative to a massage, as he felt it would be of more benefit to me. What happened during that session I can only describe as feeling a bit like magic! My whole body felt weightless and I left the session feeling more relaxed than I had done for years. The next morning I woke up and realised I had been comfortably sleeping on my left shoulder, something I hadn’t been able to do for years due to an old rotator cuff injury. I was astonished at how such a gentle therapy could have such profound results and that was the beginning of my Cranio-Sacral journey, which ended up with me deciding to train as a therapist.
Cranio-Sacral therapy has changed my life, I’m no longer in a constant state of anxiety, my panic attacks have gone and my health is stronger than it’s ever been. I love being able to offer this therapy to my clients and enjoy witnessing the often surprised and delighted reactions of people who have never experienced it before. Especially my teenage daughter who now invites her friends over for a session if they are suffering from anxiety.
