Craniosacral Therapy and Reflexology with Kim Nelson

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, we use gentle hand holds as a method of communicating and listening to your body.
CST practitioners are always inviting your system to show us it's potential for health.
We are looking for respiration within the tissues, bones, blood, organs etc.
It's like listening to an orchestra and sensing if any instruments are off-key, then facilitating a space
for those parts of your body to come into a harmonious relationship with the whole.
The cells of our body carry all sorts of life stories, and this therapy often provides the unique environment for trauma release.
Being present with another's lifeforce provides a wonderful opportunity for healing.
We listen and feel into the fluidic motions and rhythms of your body and trust in your own body's original intelligence.
Often our initial compressions in the body, begin with the birth process.
It's extremely supportive for expectant mothers, helping their bodies adapt to change
and become more embodied and present for their baby in utero.
Craniosacral therapy can help with a multitude of issues, such as depression, vertigo,
headaches, aches and pains in the body, digestive issues and anxiety.
I am registered with the Pacific Association of Craniosacral Therapists.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural method of healing, drawn from ancient eastern philosophies.
It treats the body, mind and spirit, by stimulating and relaxing thousands of nerves at the base of our feet.
These nerves run throughout our bodies.
Our feet are like a map of our body. Gentle manipulation and pressure
is applied to the reflex points which correspond to various organs.
This stimulates and helps to clear blockages and encourage balance within your biology.
It assists the circulatory, digestive, reproductive, lymphatic and nervous systems.
For many reasons our feet can retain tension. The mobility and flexibility may reduce and this can lead to other
problems down the track such as plantar faciitis or neuromas. In order to avoid possible future problems and pain,
I will always address the mobility of my clients feet if it is needed.
Often my session involves me transitioning between a structural-focus and a reflex-focus.
When we are calm and our nervous system is relaxed our body can bring itself into natural order with greater ease.
Reflexology induces a deep state of relaxation and releases endorphin's which are essential to our well-being.
Facial Reflexology
I have seen wonderful benefits by adding the points and techniques from Lone Sorensen Diploma of Facial Reflexology.
With the face being closer to the central nervous system, the stimuli from a treatment can travel via a shorter route.
This technique draws on a knowledge base of Chinese meridians, Japanese, Vietnamese and South American techniques.
A treatment of both face and foot reflexology is more stimulating to the whole system
and useful when trying to improve one's health.
I use a small amount of jojoba oil on the face.
Many clients comment on how quickly and deeply they relax when I begin with face reflexology.
