Through her therapeutic presence the practitioner seeks to restore balance to the cranio-sacral system enabling your being to re-align to the core levels of health.

As we often say the treatment starts at the end of the session.
You may leave in such a deeply relaxed state that you feel like sleeping for hours. Or you may feel full of boundless energy.
You may become more aware of symptoms or areas of discomfort. This may be brief, and often subsides within 24 hours, clearing to leave a sense of ease.

After CST it is recommended to rest and relax, even if it is only a few moments, before stepping back into your busy life.
It is generally recommended that you take it easy on your body for a day or two after a CST treatment, and avoid any other bodywork for 48-72 hours so as to allow the body to settle into its new state.
Although it may not be obvious to you during the session, your body has done a lot of work, self-correcting and it is a good idea to drink plenty of water and rest adequately after a CST treatment to help support the body in its healing process.
