I carryout specialist Craniosacral Therapy (CST) when called upon.
CST can help young children overcome or better the symptoms of issues like hormonal imbalances; physical pain; headaches; anxiety; low mood; depression; panic attacks & low confidence just to name a few.
As emotions, thoughts & behaviours are connected to the brain and nervous system, the benefits of CST spread beyond the physical supporting emotional, mental & spiritual change.
