MY JOURNEY
Hi I'm Val. I'm a fully qualified Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy practitioner.
I first came to experience the incredible benefits of this touch therapy in 2021 when I was in a difficult crisis: physically, mentally and emotionally. With regular treatments, the stressed, fragmented and traumatised parts of myself were met and allowed full integration. My body and my life gradually returned to balance and shifted from surviving to thriving mode. I believe the element of safety was crucial in my healing story.
This transformation was the reason why I wanted to train and understand how something seemingly so subtle could possibly have such profound effects on a person, as a whole.
Through the extensive training, I became truly fascinated and in absolute awe of the human anatomy and body’s intelligence. I learned to feel and ‘listen’ to the rhythms and potency of the lifeforce shaping our human form and maintaining our health.
With this came great reverence, a sense of humility and the understanding that less is more. That instead of imposing our will to fix or change something within the body, taking a step back, being present with what emerges and appreciating the intelligence at play is more beneficial. It makes sense to me.
With a background as a wildlife biologist and conservationist, I had often thought that human tendencies to try control and manage imbalances were often counterproductive. Just as water always finds its way, Nature knows exactly how to repair and regenerate. The same goes for our bodies.
In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, we create a safe and non judgemental space where the body’s propensity to seek balance can be fully expressed and supported. This container provides an opportunity for the client to ‘feel’ and connect to their own body. inviting it to let go of long held tensions, stories and traumas. I truly feel privileged to be a facilitator of this process and always look forward to each and every session.
