What a CranioSacral Session is like.

A common question I receive when people call about CranioSacral sessions is how many sessions do I think they will they need. This is a tough question to answer because everyone is different. Many factors need to be considered when it comes to trying to figure this out. Factors such as – How long has the issue(s) been going on?, How severe is the issue?, Is there an emotional counterpart that needs to be worked on?, Are there other issues/injuries making the issue worse?.

I recommend that when people first start coming to see me, they at least try four consecutive sessions (one time per week for four weeks). After the four weeks are over, then they should be able to tell how long their body holds the treatment and how often they feel like they need/want to receive a treatment. Of course if this is not possible due to time restraints or financial issues we can work it out in the most advantageous way.

I have clients who come to me once a week, once every other week, once a month, and some who come several times a year but at the times when they feel like they need to come in. So you can see everyone is different and it is learning to listen to your body and how often you feel like you need a treatment.

People also ask what they have to do during a session. I actually don’t want you to do anything during a session besides try to relax and be open to changes happening in your body. I will ask you to lie on your back on my table (you don’t have to take anything off). The most common things people feel during a session are a deep sense of relaxation, a lengthening of their bodies, a clearer mind, and a feeling of their bodies settling into the table. I mainly hold areas on your body to release the restrictions in your tissues to allow your body to completely relax and the healing processes to begin. I may also lift an arm or a leg and follow the way the tissues want to unwind as your arm or leg slowly lay flat back on the table.

Everyone’s experience is original and one of a kind. No two sessions are alike. We all have different restrictions in our lives that need to be released.

What would you let go of if you had the chance??? :)
