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.
Common signs linked to headaches and migraines
Each session is tailored to the individual, focusing on supporting nervous system balance and reducing tension.

Introducing myself
I’m Lisa Mann and I’m a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. I have also just graduated from a nine-month top-up paediatric craniosacral therapy course. This builds on my core training and deepens 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.
So why did I train in biodynamic craniosacral therapy? Simply put, a very personal, difficult birth experience, a difficult baby feeding experience, and poor baby sleep, not forgetting personal sleep deprivation. My experience took me through oral dysfunction, baby birth trauma, and speech issues. Along the way, one amazing provider suggested I train in craniosacral therapy because of my growing passion to help other families recover from similar experiences. Little did I know at that time that craniosacral therapy was equally for older children and adults! Within three weeks I had committed thousands of pounds in an intensive two-year course in exactly that, alongside living anatomy and physiology for another nine months simultaneously. Training in biodynamic craniosacral therapy was much more of a vocation, and the passion I have for supporting anyone from newborns, babies to older children and adults is off the scale. When it comes to being passionate about what I do, it is, truly a passion that will last many years to come.
