“For the first time in 9 years I woke up not clenching my jaw or neck and with what feels like 'a little extra space' in my neck now. Wow. Thank you so much!”

How does CranioSacral Therapy Work?
CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle, light-touch approach that releases tensions deep in the central nervous system so that every other system in the body can relax and self-correct.
Few structures have as much influence over the body's ability to function properly as the brain and spinal cord that make up the central nervous system. And, the central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord.
Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.
Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch, the CST practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. This clear fluid, that protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord, flows with a particular rhythm that echoes via fascia throughout the body.
“I went to see Kerstin after a horse accident that lead to a painful lower back issue. Kerstin was able to release not only this injury but old problems from previous injuries as well.
Kerstin also helped one of our mares with hind end issues. She can now stand for the farrier and hold up her feet with ease - something that had been very difficult before.
I recommend Kerstin for both humans and horses. She helped my body heal itself and for that I am grateful.”

“Last night was the first night of sleep with no pain in my back in literally months!! I am so happy and rested. What you did made an instant and noticeable difference for me. I am so happy to have been put in touch with you. Thank you for this summary of what you found and did to help me. I love that your focus was on my knee (and other areas) not just my back, I agree completely that it is all tied together. ”
