Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Find Deep Healing Through Gentle Touch

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) ?

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a powerful complement to our hormone, metabolic, and integrative care helping to regulate the nervous system, process long-held stress, and support the whole person.

Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, burnout, postpartum recovery, or chronic stress, this gentle modality offers a compassionate and restorative path to healing.

BCST is a light-touch, hands-on therapy that works with your body’s natural rhythms and healing capacity. Rooted in osteopathic principles, it supports the subtle movements of your nervous system, connective tissues, and cerebrospinal fluid — helping your body return to balance from the inside out.

Unlike traditional craniosacral work that focuses mostly on the head, BCST is a full-body therapy that listens deeply to the whole system, creating space for regulation, release, and repair.

Why It Works

Some experiences live in our bodies long after our minds have moved on.


Chronic tension, stress-related symptoms, unexplained anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation are often the result of incomplete stress responses or unprocessed trauma.

BCST provides a safe, non-invasive way for your system to unwind using light touch and intentional stillness to help the body complete what was once interrupted. It’s not about doing more; it’s about allowing your body to do what it already knows how to do, when it feels safe enough to do so.

How It Feels

Sessions are deeply calming and restorative. The practitioner uses gentle holds to listen to your body’s subtle rhythms and responses.


There’s no agenda or protocol to force , the session follows your body’s priorities, supporting it to reorganize, regulate, and return to ease.
