Posted @withregram • @andyjohnsonihp Before I recommend a treatment, supplement or protocol to a client I always like to try it out for myself. Today I tried cranio sacral therapy treatment as it has worked wonders on my daughter and I was curious to do it myself.

If you haven’t heard of it before it is a touch-based therapy founded in osteopathy and works on rebalancing and calming the nervous system whilst also engaging with the physical, mental and emotional aspects held within our systems.

A cranio sacral therapist can tune into the body’s rhythm and release any restrictions held within the system. These restrictions can be caused by past traumas, not always conscious to us - our mind may tell us that we have dealt with a trauma that our body is still holding on to.

My daughter’s health has vastly improved through nutrition and supplements, however it turned out that she had restrictions stemming from a ventouse delivery at birth. After a few sessions, her demeanour has changed dramatically and she is physically calmer. With each session a layer of stress is melted away.

I likened my session to a float tank experience. Everyone will be different, but I felt very relaxed and serene after my session. My daughter says its like experiencing a lovely massage.

If you or your child is suffering from any stress-related issues or you are interested in becoming more connected with your body, then I highly recommend having a treatment. And if you are in the Teddington area, make sure to see @thiskatestuart as she is amazing!

Love,

“I’d never tried Cranio-Sacral therapy before seeing Kate. It was truly brilliant - I cannot believe how I experienced such a deeply relaxing, almost meditative state with what seemed to be such a light approach. It’s as if your body is working with the therapy rather than something being “done” to it, such as a massage. I walk out feeling taller, balanced and rejuvenated.” Jane H

 “My session was Kate was incredibly relaxing and I felt that I lost any tension or pent-up stress over the hour.  Afterwards I felt very calm and peaceful, and had a very clear head -  I slept really well that night.  Kate is very friendly and professional and makes you feel very comfortable before, during and after the session.” Annabel W.

“My tinnitus symptoms have reduced, I am feeling much more at peace with world and now really look forward to our weekly sessions.” David W

“Kate is a sensitive, intuitive and accomplished Cranio Sacral practitioner. She accurately pinpointed various areas of stress, discomfort and tension in my body and worked gently to relieve them. After the treatment, I felt relaxed and somehow stretched and taller. I felt very good for the rest of the day - both energised and calm.I would happily recommend Kate and am looking forward to having another relaxing, gentle and helpful session with her. " Celia

“As soon as Kate placed her hands on my baby he almost immediately stopped crying and suddenly I felt very emotional. It was the strangest sensation and I am not usually prone to tears myself!” Emma

I took my daughter to Kate to find some way of addressing the anxiety that my daughter had been experiencing since returning to school in year 8 after the first lockdown. Kate’s absolute sense of calm from the moment we met her was immensely reassuring. I felt so grateful for the quiet space that the appointments created in our rather fraught week.

My daughter had seven appointments over an approximately three month period and over that time there was a discernible difference in her anxiety. I had the sense that she was becoming more connected with herself and that her mind was calming from the deluge of thoughts.

I felt Kate managed the treatments very skilfully, initially suggesting that my daughter read her book while she got used to the treatment. Over time, my daughter became more relaxed and was able to just lie with her eyes closed and settle into it. Kate was extremely good at keeping me posted on how it was going and at the beginning we would have a debrief by phone which was also very reassuring.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kate. You can trust that you will be in good hands and that she has the wisdom and experience to help. - Mum who wishes to remain anonymous

 “Just had my first treatment ever with Kate. Had no idea what to expect! It was a real voyage of discovery for me. I had a true feeling of release and feel lighter than I have done for years. Definitely coming back for more.” Janice E.

“Kate's work has been life-changing for our family. Lulu sleeps through the night, she no longer head-bangs or strips off in her class at school. We had the best family Christmas ever and can now go out as a family to restaurants which is something we could never do before.” Jenni, mum of 9 year old Lulu.

“Kate has a wonderful calming effect and I feel completely relaxed after the cranial treatments she has given me .She has been able to help me feel balanced again both physically and emotionally. When you are feeling under the weather I would always recommend Kates treatments to feel connected to the world and calm again.” Louise KC.

“My shoulder is a lot better. Its really is! You are a miracle worker! I can really tell the treatment has helped my shoulder so much, the pain has reduced and it has calmed down so much!” Andrea

”She was so calm for the rest of the day on Monday and finally slept really well through the night.” Mum of 1-week old baby Jasmine who had been suffering with colic.
