Holistic Bodywork

Louise's signature Treatment

Craniosacral Therapy or Myofascial Release with some massage if beneficial, to help you release tension and explore restrictions that are causing problems, perhaps focusing on a physical or emotional issue that has been troubling you, or helping you to better regulate your nervous system and feel better in yourself if you are stressed, experiencing anxiety or are overwhelmed.

Helpful for issues such as headaches, digestive discomfort, fertility etc but also suitable for scars, chronic pain or stiffness or working with any part of your body that you feel is problematic.

Also may be helpful when working to manage anxiety and other mental health challenges.

Can help you to connect with and better understand how problems in your body/ health can relate to past injuries and experiences and your emotional state and vice versa.

Can help you work on noticing and releasing stress (old and new) that you may be holding in particular areas of your body and facilitating deep rest and relaxation to help encourage a state where healing can occur from within.

You may be encouraged to observe what is happening in your body at times during treatment in order to connect with what is going on for you.

CST and MFR both work with the body in a very gentle but powerful way to help you deeply relax and let go of tension and restrictions in a slightly different way to massage.

Massage can be used in an area where you are experiencing physical discomfort like your neck or stomach or jaw for example or used into areas like the head, face or feet to aid a general feeling of relaxation in the whole body.

This treatment will use a combination of techniques best suited to help facilitate change.

Somato-emotional release (SER) is a component of Craniosacral Therapy where the mind and body process, release and integrate suppressed emotions, experiences and trauma from the subconscious. This may become part of your treatment over time.

You can remain clothed or partially clothed for this treatment, depending on how we decide to work.

Aromatherapy oils may be used where supportive.
