Craniosacral
Therapist
It’s all about you.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle treatment which works with the whole person and both physical and emotional changes can happen, during and afterwards.
The treatment begins with a conversation and detailed history being taken to understand the reason for your visit. You are then made comfortable as you lie on the treatment couch. I will next place my hands lightly on you, using them to “listen”, similar to how a counsellor would use her ears to listen to your story.
Craniosacral therapy is so gentle and is suitable for anyone with physical and emotional problems.

“I have seen Martine twice for cranial sacral therapy – once when I was approaching my due date, and again with my little boy after his birth.”
“I found the treatments so relaxing and it gave me chance to rest and calm my nervous system. I actually gave birth a few days after the treatment at 40+3, and I’m sure it helped!”
“Then when my baby was young he struggled with gas and vomiting although nothing the doctors could do anything about. After one session with Martine he seemed very happy and chilled out and much less bothered by the gassiness. It’s also a very non-invasive treatment so perfect for babies or in pregnancy.”

CST is a gentle and safe choice
CST is a gentle and safe choice for pregnant women with pregnancy ailments such as backache. It has a balancing effect on the nervous and hormonal systems and supports mum and baby in preparing for birth.
It is also beneficial for mother and baby, even if pregnancy and birth were straight forward as it helps with bonding process with parents and siblings. It also supports breastfeeding and developing good sleep patterns. CST can help with early infant feeding problems such as colic, reflux and allergies.
CST can help as some babies who experience torticollis (a stiff neck) as they journey through the pelvis.
The Whole Person
Cranio Sacral therapy (CST) works with the whole person and changes may occur in body, mind and spirit.
CST is safe, non invasive and is therefore suitable for anyone, including babies.
People come to CST for both acute and long standing problems. Parents bring their babies with problems like tongue tie and colic, or sleep issues.
Cranio sacral therapy is a gentle treatment which involves me making light contact with your head, spine or other areas.
After taking a detailed history, your treatment happens whilst you lie or sit. Parents can hold their baby and treatments can even take place whilst a child sits on the floor playing.
Treatments can take place either in your home or at my clinic.

“Martine treats my little boy who has ADHD and he is making great progress… he now holds my hand for short periods of time!”

“I had a really tough time following my C. Section and had 2 Cranio treatments which really helped support my recovery, both physically and emotionally”
“My baby had a frenulotomy for tongue tie but he still couldn’t feed easily. My sisters baby had also had the same problems and she had taken her baby to see Martine for cranio-sacral therapy and it really sorted things out! My baby boy had 2 treatments and not only can he feed properly but he sleeps much better too…”
