Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, hands-on therapy that supports the body’s natural ability to find health and self-regulate. Grounded in osteopathic principles, BCST works with the subtle rhythms and movements within the body—particularly in the nervous system, fascia, and fluids—to release tension, calm the mind, and promote deep states of relaxation.

The craniosacral system includes the brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, and the membranes and connective tissues that surround them, though BCST works with the entire body as an integrated whole.

Using light, non-invasive touch, I ‘listen’ to your body’s inner rhythms and help guide it toward greater ease and coherence. Many clients experience relief from chronic pain, stress, trauma, anxiety, depression and other physical or emotional imbalances.

During a session, I will gently place my hands on different areas of your body, creating a sustained, still, and quiet state of presence. Sessions are client-led, meaning your body always leads the way and guides what happens. 

BCST is a safe and effective therapy for people of all ages, and all care is taken to respect and consider your personal needs.

BCST is for you if you feel disconnected, under-resourced, or long to feel more at home in your body.

ABOUT
  • Helena is an incredible and intuitive practitioner. I have felt such a sense of alignment from our work together and feel like I have a totally new understanding of my body and the systems within it. Helena has always made me feel very safe and cared for during our sessions and was able to explain aspects of my body in a way that I could easily understand. I think her work has been a foundational part of my recovery process and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you for all the sessions Helena! It really has changed the way I am with my body.

  • If you have never experienced craniosacral therapy before, then I highly recommend that you give it a try with Helena. Everything about the experience she creates is calming and nurturing. She uses very gentle movements (so gentle I often didn't feel her hands at all) and yet I could feel my body releasing in all kinds of profound ways. I slept SO well after each session.

  • Helena is a wonderful practitioner - very attuned and welcoming; my body relaxes beautifully under her reverent care. I very much look forward to each session I have with her, and leave with so much clarity, depth of awareness + peace, every time.

  • Helena takes me exactly where I need to go in every session. This work is incredible and Helena’s awareness, skills, knowing and care was evident from the moment we met. If you haven’t tried this modality, give it a go, you won’t regret it.

  • Helena is an absolutely amazing craniosacral therapist and I can't thank her enough for helping me deal with my chronic migraines and shoulder pain. The care she takes in each session to ensure you have a comfortable and positive experience is especially awesome. I leave each session with an amazing feeling of calm and contentment, an incredible way to relax and connect with your body. Couldn't recommend more!

  • I’ve had a couple of craniosacral therapy sessions with Helena, and each one has been a truly beautiful experience. I left feeling more grounded, calm, and deeply connected to my body. The sessions helped relieve the stress I often carry after work, and I noticed a growing awareness of subtle internal sensations that I usually overlook. Helena brings a gentle and intuitive presence, and I appreciated how she shared fascinating insights about the movements and rhythms within the body during the session. The space itself is cozy and calming, with soft lighting and a warm blanket that made me feel completely at ease. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper sense of embodiment and rest.
