AKASHIC RECORDS

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

Also referred to as “the art of listening”. This holistic healing practice uses a non-invasive technique of a very light touch at the base of the skull to assess the flow of the craniosacral rhythm. 

Once the blockage is identified, the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid is optimized, allowing the body’s natural healing responses to function by easing restrictions of nerve passages caused by trauma.

It is used by massage therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths. A session generally lasts 30-90 minutes with the client remaining fully clothed.
