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

What Happens During a Session?

During the initial consultation, Natascia will listen to the reasons of your visit and what you would like to change and achieve.

You will be then invited to lay on the massage table (comfortable clothes are recommended) and offered cushions and a blanket to optimise your comfort. The treatment will consist of light, reverent, feather-light contact, in order to support inner listening, change and integration.

Change is not ‘forced’ nor any kind of energy is ‘channelled’ into the body. Heath is instead invited to arise and express from within, while change always happens at a comfortable pace, as directed by each unique body system. This avoids overwhelm or re-traumatisation while providing long lasting results.

Improvements can be perceived after the first session, but a series of 3 treatments is generally recommended in order to provide enough opportunity for the body to achieve some tangible change and integration.

Once the desired outcomes are reached, treatments will be diluted to fortnightly and monthly maintenance, followed by occasional sessions.

How much does it cost?

 The initial consultation is 90 mins. The following sessions are 80 mins.
The exchange for each session is $130

Client Testimonial

‘’As a survivor of sexual assault and abuse, it’s very difficult for me to trust and open myself to treatment.

Natascia has been amazing in providing non judgemental and supportive treatment which has been amazing.

I feel so much more at ease and am certain that my mental health has improved immensely since I started therapy with Natascia.  

I was uncertain about the treatment in advance but was open to anything to treat the nightmares and self image challenges I have experienced. 

I can honestly say this has been life changing therapy and I am keen to continue in this process.  

I’m extremely thankful for the kindness and support I have received from Natascia and would whole heartedly recommend her ability to anyone who may be considering this pathway. 

Again I’m so glad of the huge improvement in my life and mental health. 

Thankfully
