Craniosacral Therapy for Headaches & Migraines | Natural Support
When headaches become frequent, it can be a sign that your body is in a state of tension
Headaches and migraines can affect concentration, energy, and overall wellbeing. While the causes vary, they are often linked to tension in the head, neck, and nervous system.
Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle approach that supports the body in releasing deep patterns of strain and restoring balance.
A gentle, non-invasive approach that works with the body
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy works with the body and nervous system through subtle hands-on contact.
Using light touch, the practitioner listens to the natural rhythms of the body and supports areas where tension may be held — particularly around the head, neck, and spine.
This allows the body to release restrictions naturally and return to a more balanced state.
Supporting the body to ease head and neck tension
Many headaches are related to tension in the muscles, fascia, and joints around the neck and skull.
Stress, posture, nervous system overload, or past injuries can contribute to these patterns.
Craniosacral therapy gently supports the body to unwind these restrictions, often helping reduce the frequency or intensity of headaches, or resolve them altogether at the very root of the cause over one or a few sessions.

Introducing myself
Hi I'm Lisa and I'm a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist.
Our digestive systems starts right at the top - our tongue. Any disruption along this digestive system impacts how we are able to digest anything. Furthermore, if we digest food that we are unaware we're intolerant to or allergic to, or suffer from IBS, Crohns disease or other digestive diagnoses, our gut-brain connection is disrupted, our microbiome is disturbed and our liver which processes nutrients and vitamins etc is impacted. Add on daily stress or periods of stress, and our stress response between our brain-gut system (our enteric nervous system) often brings other unpleasant digestive symptoms. Craniosacral therapy aims to help us rebalance our digestive system using light-touch, to release patterns of tension in our connective tissues and unwind restrictions to support and restore more natural movement and function.
