Linda White - MSW RCST

Craniosacral therapy is a light, gentle, listening touch therapy. The craniosacral touch is gentle enough for babies and older persons. Linda became interested in it 10 years ago after her husband died. Her craniosacral therapist told her that her body felt like one that had just had major surgery. Linda thought she meant spiritually. In reality, she was tuning into much more than that.

Not yet well known or understood or researched, Craniosacral therapy engages the musculoskeletal, nervous, hormonal, and all the systems of the body in a wholistic way. During a session, an overactive or underactive nervous system can find an optimal level, and all body systems function better. In other words, the effects of stress diminish.

Each session is different because it is based on what the body is saying and doing in the present moment. Together, you and the therapist tune into where it needs support, and healing is directed by your body’s own health and intelligence, the innate intelligence that first showed up when you were developing in utero. How do you and the therapist help your body? By acknowledging what’s going on, observing without judgement and allowing your health to restore you.

Craniosacral touch is incredibly potent. Some have called it nutritional – Linda agrees. It nourishes your body. You may be noticing you’re not able to get the benefits of touch, especially in these COVID times.

Linda believes that Craniosacral therapy is not just a treatment where hurting people feel better, but an introduction to living with calmness, self-caring and awareness. Linda’s intention is to be of service to you physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. She especially enjoys working with arms and hands, pregnancy, and trauma. Craniosacral therapy also goes hand in hand with counselling work.
