A gentle approach that works with your body

Many adults carry ongoing tension without realising the full impact it has on their body and wellbeing.

This can build over time through stress, injury, illness, or emotional experiences.

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the nervous system, helping the body release tension and move towards a more regulated state.

It is not about forcing change, but supporting the body to do what it is already trying to do.

Supporting your body to feel more comfortable and balanced

Tension within the body can show up in many different ways.

This might include:

  • Back, neck, or joint pain
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Jaw pain or TMJ issues
  • Sleep difficulties or fatigue
  • Anxiety, stress, or feeling overwhelmed
  • Digestive issues
  • Nerve pain or neuralgia
  • Sinus issues or tinnitus
  • Pelvic floor tension
  • Long Covid or ongoing fatigue

This work supports the nervous system, helping the body shift out of stress patterns and into a more balanced, functional state.

A calm, supportive experience

Sessions are quiet, relaxed, and tailored to you. You will remain fully clothed and lie comfortably, while gentle touch is used to support areas of tension. There is no manipulation or force. Each session is guided by what your body needs in that moment.

Support for stress, tension, and emotional load

Physical and emotional experiences are closely connected.

Stress, trauma, and long term pressure can be held within the body, often showing up as pain, fatigue, or difficulty switching off.

This work helps support the release of that tension, allowing the body to feel calmer, more stable, and more at ease.

Working alongside the right support and care

Craniosacral therapy can work alongside medical care and other treatments where needed.

This may include:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Osteopathy or chiropractic care
  • Mental health support

GP or specialist careThe aim is to support your body in a way that complements what you are already doing.

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.
