CranioSacral Therapy (CST) with Holly Berkley, COT, CBP

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system. It is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Problems with this system can cause difficulties and discomfort throughout the body. CST addresses restrictions in the body's energy systems, and in soft tissue including organs, muscles and connective tissue. It is a full-body therapy, using light touch.

During a CST session, Holly identifies and evaluates restrictions, then assists your body in removing the obstacles that normal self-correcting mechanisms have been unable to overcome. Gentle pressure, frequently only five grams (the weight of a nickel), patiently coaxes the body to relinquish the restriction. In many cases this quickly leads to an improvement in the functioning of various physiological systems, reducing symptoms and improving the body’s internal environment. Following sessions, clients frequently report feelings of comfort, deep relaxation, increased awareness and clarity, and a sense of internal well-being.

“

I first came to Holly because of injuries from a vehicle accident. Within several sessions, I experienced an 80% reduction in pain and felt my body move more freely than before the accident. I have continued to see Holly as she has guided me with wisdom and gentleness in exploring bigger obstacles in becoming myself. I cannot say enough about the power and effectiveness of her work for both physical and emotional issues. I have referred her to many people, all of whom feel equal respect and appreciation for her work. She is a truly gifted healer,”
