Cranio-sacral
Massage

A gentle, hands-on therapy that uses light touch on the bones of the head, spinal column, and sacrum to release deep tension in the central nervous system and support the body's natural ability to heal.

What to Expect

Sessions are slow, calming, and entirely clothed. Svetlana uses gentle, sustained holds — typically no more than the weight of a nickel — to evaluate and release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Many clients describe a feeling of deep release, drifting calm, or a quiet "settling" of the nervous system.

  • Detailed intake covering symptoms, posture, and stress patterns
  • Light-touch evaluation of cranial bones, spine, and sacrum
  • Sustained, gentle holds to release fascial and nervous-system restrictions
  • Quiet, restorative atmosphere with minimal handling
  • Self-care suggestions to support integration after the session

Common Conditions Supported

  • Tension headaches and migraines
  • TMJ tension and jaw pain
  • Chronic neck and back pain
  • Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
  • Insomnia and sleep disturbances
  • Post-concussion symptoms and whiplash recovery
  • Children with sensory or sleep concerns (gentle paediatric protocols)

Why Cranio-sacral Therapy

Cranio-sacral therapy works at the level of the autonomic nervous system — helping shift the body out of "fight or flight" and into "rest and restore." It's especially valuable for patients who find deep-tissue work too intense, for chronic stress, and for headache or jaw patterns that don't fully respond to standard massage.
