Cranio-sacral Therapy is a very gentle form of bodywork that utilizes the cranio-sacral system, made up of the fluid around the brain, contained within the meninges. This fluid is replaced and replenished 6 - 12 times a minute for the purpose of nutrition, shock absorption and general protection but the result is as in a hydraulic system, affecting an expansion and relaxation from the core of our bodies. The movement of this system can be accessed in order to work on lesions buried deep in our bodies. The "manipulation" or holding of the system is very gentle and uses patience, time and energy toward unwinding and undoing tensions and even scar tissues from injuries. Because of its depth and gentleness, this is an appropriate therapy where this is an emotional trauma component to the work.

The cranio-sacral work is excellent for complimenting homeopathic work when helping children with learning disabilities. It has also been helpful with birth traumas such as having the cord around the neck during birth, where apparently there were no "medical" consequences yet systems such as respiratory, digestive, and especially cognitive have ongoing challenges.

Other indications for cranio-sacral work would be:

• Head trauma
• Headaches and especially migraines
• TMJ
• MVA/whiplash
