What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy  (BCST)?

 

BCST is a gentle, yet profound, wholistic hands-on therapy. Originated in Osteopathy, BCST derives from the discoveries made by Osteopath Dr William Garner Sutherland, in the late 1800s.

Based on the profound reverence for our inner body intelligence and its healing potential, BCST inherently works with the ‘universal life force’ and our original ‘blue print, the state of optimal health which was instilled at conception and is always available to us.

Instead of correcting and fixing of imbalances at the superficial level, BCST looks for and encourages the inner forces of health to set the priorities of the session and to bring about natural adjustments from within the body. BCST is therefore a very profound therapy, which enables the therapist and patient to gain access to the root causes of many conditions.

BCST is effective in ‘healing the mind though the body’, facilitating profound changes in the mid brain (limbic system), the subconscious space where the effects of trauma linger, impact and underlie our responses to life.

BCST is a body-led therapy. Each system regulates the depth and pace at which healing occurs, according to each individual circumstances, thus eliminating the risk of re-traumatisation and providing long lasting results.

The therapist is trained to create a calm, still and embodied presence, which enables the client to feel safe, supported and held, creating a sense of safety that allows the brain to switch from flight or fight to rest and repair. It is in this
state that healing and change can take place.

Biodynamic touch is light, still and reverential. Performed on a massage table, the client remains fully clothed.

BCST is gentle and suitable for all ages, including during pregnancy, after childbirth, with new borns, young children, teenagers, adults and the elderly.

BCST complements very well with talk therapies.

 

BCST AND TRAUMA

Experiences that are too overwhelming or traumatic to cope with, can be stored in the system, usually locking the body in a “fight or flight” state.

Long term effects of unresolved trauma often show up in our responses to life with irrational fears, heightened responses to threats, panic attacks, a sense of being ‘stuck’, illness and disease…

BCST gently facilitates the body and the limbic system (mid-brain) to resolve and integrate past traumatic experiences at the cellular level, allowing the system to return to its original state of emotional balance.

Changes happen in the deepest layers of the brain, without the need to mentally analyse the original traumatic event or having to ‘go through it’. This approach eliminates the risk of re-traumatisation that can arise when working with trauma.

Symptoms that respond well to BCST include – but are not limited to:

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Childhood trauma
• Emotional and sexual abuse
• Unprocessed grief
• Lack of clarity – feeling ‘stuck, ’lost’ or confused
• Stress, anxiety, depression
• Dissociation – a sense of disconnection from own body
• Hyper vigilance – constantly being ‘on guard’
• Difficulty sleeping, fatigue
• Persistent sadness, anger, irritability
• Emotional overwhelm
• Physical discomfort or numbness during intimacy
• Unexplained physical issues

Client Testimonial

Thanks to Natascia, I now feel my body is a safe place to be and a great source of wisdom and comfort.

An experienced social worker, I came to see Natascia because even though I had seen some excellent practitioners over the years, I felt that I had gone as far as I could with counselling, mindfulness and yoga. When I started seeing Natascia, I was experiencing long periods of generalised anxiety, worry and ruminating thoughts and felt disconnected and out of control in my body. Natascia’s practice was different to anything else I had experienced and she was very skilled at making sure I understood what we were doing and why. She made sure I was able to relax and feel completely safe and cared for during our sessions and in between them. Natascia was compassionate, non-judgmental, passionate and dedicated to helping me achieve the goals and hopes I had for myself. The outcomes exceeded what I had thought might be possible. Since seeing Natascia I no longer enter into long periods of anxiety or ruminating thoughts and I have regained a sense of health and openness to the world. I’ve gained a strong ability to feel regulated with a healthy sense of calm. I am now able to experience deep uninterrupted sleep, and my breathing is no longer impacted by anxiety – a problem I had had since childhood and never thought I’d get rid of.

Cranial sacral therapy was a very non-intrusive and gentle but highly effective experience. I felt Natascia worked directly with the parts of my body that required attention, each time releasing more and more old trauma or feelings so that it peeled back layers but was never overwhelming.

It is obvious Natascia deeply cares for her clients and her practice. She is a highly skilled and dedicated practitioner, I felt that she worked with me as a whole person and wanted my health outcomes as much as I did. I would recommend Natascia to anyone who feels ready to reconnect with their bodies to heal.

I also want to add that again, I am so deeply grateful for your practice and care Natascia, I really felt so deeply cared for and felt you were such an ally and champion to getting me to a place I genuinely did not think I would ever get to!
