Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on technique that uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluid in and around the brain and spinal cord. Relieving tension in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and well being. The focus of CST is to assist release of the body’s fascia. Fascia is a covering found throughout the body including around organs, glands, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, and the brain and spinal cord. This covering forms a body-wide connective network. CST is based on the idea that the body is interrelated at all levels. Lauren has been an Occupational Therapist since 2005, specializing in pediatrics and sensory integration.
