Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a profoundly gentle, hands-on therapy that helps your system return to wholeness and balance by listening to its natural intelligence. Unlike traditional therapies that “fix” symptoms, BCST creates a still space for your body to reorganize, release, and heal — from the inside out.
What Happens During a Session?
You lie fully clothed on a comfortable table in a peaceful setting. Through subtle, attuned contact, the therapist listens to your body’s rhythms, supports the release of stored tension, and helps activate your natural healing processes. The work is deeply calming — yet transformational. Many describe it as a return to stillness they didn’t know they had lost.

Frequently Asked Questions – BCST for Health (Adults)
1. What makes BCST different from other bodywork or talk therapy?
Unlike massage or physiotherapy, BCST does not “fix” symptoms through manipulation. Unlike talk therapy, it doesn’t require you to relive painful stories.
BCST is a quiet, deep-touch therapy that listens to the intelligence of your body — not your narrative.
It supports your system to unwind trauma and restore balance from within, often resolving long-held patterns you weren’t even aware were shaping your health or emotions.
2. Can BCST help me if I’ve experienced emotional or childhood trauma?
Yes. BCST is one of the most trauma-sensitive therapies available.
It doesn’t force processing or re-triggering. Instead, it creates a safe and still relational field where your system feels deeply witnessed — without words. This allows the body and nervous system to release trauma at its own pace, often bringing profound relief and emotional integration.
3. Will I feel something during the session? What if I don’t?
Clients experience a range of sensations — warmth, release, heaviness, floating, or deep stillness. Some may even feel emotional waves or memories surfacing.
Others feel “nothing” during the session, but notice surprising changes in sleep, pain levels, emotions, or clarity in the days after.
BCST works deeply, even when the mind can’t measure it. Your body always knows how to receive what it needs.
4. How many sessions do I need?
Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some experience powerful shifts in 1–2 sessions. Others benefit from 4–6 sessions for chronic conditions, trauma recovery, or nervous system regulation.
Many clients continue monthly or seasonally as part of long-term wellness and emotional self-care. Your therapist will always co-create a plan that respects your pace and goals.
5. Is BCST safe for those who are hypersensitive, exhausted, or overwhelmed?
Absolutely. BCST is specifically designed to work gently with highly sensitive, fatigued, or trauma-impacted systems. It never pushes, rushes, or overrides your boundaries.
Even clients who can’t tolerate traditional therapies or who are exhausted from overprocessing find BCST to be a sanctuary — a safe return to their body, breath, and being.
