Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on therapeutic technique that works with the body’s craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CST aims to assess and optimize the movement of cerebrospinal fluid, which plays a critical role in maintaining central nervous system function, reducing inflammation, and promoting overall homeostasis. By applying light touch to specific areas, the practitioner can detect and release restrictions or imbalances within the craniosacral system, improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms. Research has shown CST to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including migraines, tension headaches, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and stress-related conditions. By enhancing the fluid dynamics and reducing restrictions within the craniosacral system, CST helps to regulate the autonomic nervous system, improve neural function, and promote deep relaxation and healing

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that channels universal life energy, or ‘Qi,’ to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Practitioners use their hands to guide and transfer energy into the recipient's body, typically by lightly touching or just above specific body areas. This process is believed to enhance energy flow through the body’s energetic pathways, or meridians, and balance the body’s subtle energy fields. Reiki has been shown to influence the autonomic nervous system, reduce stress, and induce a state of deep relaxation, thereby activating the body’s natural healing responses. It may also enhance immune function, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from injury. Research suggests that Reiki therapy can be effective in alleviating conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, and stress by promoting energetic balance and reducing blockages in the body's energy flow.
