Supporting the body and nervous system with gentle, thoughtful care that works alongside medical treatment when needed.
About me
I’m Lisa Mann and I’m a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. I will also be graduating from a nine-month top-up paediatric craniosacral therapy course in the summer of 2026. This will build on my core training and depens my expertise in the gentle and effective work with newborns and babies, and younger (under 8 years old) children.
I will also be offering a range of massage therapies from September 2026.
I felt a significant urge to train in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy as a result of a deeply traumatic birth and post-birth experience for both myself and my child which led to significant feeding challenges and developing speech. Training in Craniosacral therapy was, in the end, much like a vocation due to the transformative role it played in healing us both. Once the root causes of the feeding challenges were resolved and my child was finally happy and thriving, we both continued, and still continue, to receive the therapy to support our health.
More about me
Whilst I am not a tongue tie practitioner, I have first-hand experience of oral dysfunction issues with my child [that is, tongue tie and an understanding of oral dysfunction related to non-tongue tie. I know how absolutely essential it is to address the symptoms and causes early and correctly with the right practitioners and teams, and how to correctly support this. I know from first hand experience the rabbit holes of google searches in the early hours, medical people who are often untrained in the true root cause of feeding issues, and those type of people who claim to understand and help, but are truly just “plastering” over the issues, continuing endless weeks and months of distress to the whole family.
If necessary, I am able to provide clients with information on practitioners around privately-funded oral dysfunction and tongue tie expert teams, private speech and language support, myofunctional therapy and paediatric orthodontic teams. Furthermore, I am able to recommend private Occupational Therapists, psychotherapists and specialists in assessment and integration of retained primitive reflexes which plays a huge role in areas such as posture, function and overall wellness.
I became determined to help anyone from newborn to old age address root causes of any issues they were experiencing, emotional or physical trauma or discomfort. I enrolled on an intensive two-year professional training in this therapy. I feel passionate and privileged to offer this powerful therapy to those seeking relief from these physical, emotional and stress-related challenges.
