Craniosacral therapy, gentle body work that brings about profound changes
Holistic bodywork that supports all of you in finding sustainable balance and greater well-being on all levels.
craniosacral therapy with Nathalie, in täby
It is based in close work with the craniosacral system, which comprises the skull, spinal cord, the meninges, spinal cord membranes and the Cerebro-Spinal Fluid. This fluid, bathing the brain and spinal cord, moves, protects and provides our nervous system with nourishment, keeps it flexible and in dynamic movement, as well as makes sure that our brain has optimal conditions (yep, it’s rather important). This system, and its functions have a direct influence on our well-being, health, and energy levels since the central nervous system has a big importance for all functions in the body.
When a person feels their best, all organs, membranes, ligaments, tissues and fluids in the body move freely without restrictions, tension or blockages. If these movements/rhythms/flows are hindered in their free expression, e.g. as a result of stress, trauma, illness or injury, various problems and diseases can arise. Through gentle contact with the body, as a practitioner I help the body to rediscover its free movements and free-flowing rhythms. By gently coming into contact with the craniosacral system, disturbances and blockages can be recognised and the system can be brought back into better balance. Thus the inherent health is supported in its self-regulation so that positive changes can take place. I work with light touch on the whole body: muscles, fascia, skeletal and nervous system to guide the body back to balance and the best possible well-being. Many people are surprised that such a gentle form of body work can be so effective.
How does craniosacral therapy work?
Craniosacral therapy is a functional treatment method, which means that the body's own functions are used to guide the body to correct itself. As a practitioner, I guide the body in its self-regulation, as it practically always seeks balance and harmony. This gentle but powerful form of body work is based in osteopathic principles and can also be called cranial osteopathy. As a therapist, I work with light touch on the whole body: muscles, fascia, skeletal, and nervous system. I help the body find its way back to free movement and free-flows so that you can feel your best. I use many different techniques, depending on what you need today, to support the body in its self-regulation.

HOW WILL I FEEL DURING A TREATMENT?
This is individual, but many experience calm and relaxation. Some experience a slight tingling in the body, others fall asleep.
ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?
You can feel relaxed or a little tired afterwards, but there are no typical side effects after a craniosacral treatment. Many of my clients feel deeply relaxed after a session, and have a great night's sleep following a session.

What happens during a session?
Subsequently we head to the massage table, where you lie completely clothed in comfortable clothing. We may work lying down, sitting, standing or in motion. I will come into contact with your body using a gentle, often perceived as calming touch. Through this touch we’ll come into contact with the body's different systems and see how I can best support you and your body towards improved well-being today.
2. Treatment with light touch
We start every session with a chat regarding your current needs, goals, and focus. Based on this, we’ll approach your desire for change in a way that is the most supportive to your well-being and of course sustainable.

The 5 cranio sessions I had with Nathalie have had lasting positive effect. I experienced a reduction in hip and back pain, deep relaxation and improved body awareness.

I had craniosacral therapy with Nathalie over several months to look at various issues. With her empathic and warm manner, she always met me right where I was. I always felt very comfortable and safe in her practice. I am so grateful that I was able to go to Nathalie for sessions! Highly recommended.

Väldigt nöjd med behandlingen jag fick av Nathalie.
Proffisionellt bemötande och lugnande behandling. Var min första kraniosakral terapi behandling, kommer mer än gärna tillbaka då den hjälpte.

Top notch, Nathalie is an open-hearted person with a lot of talent for her work. I have had improvement in my back and spine after only a few sessions, but above all an incredible amount of negative energy has been released in my subtle body. A thousand thanks!

Pricing and Payment
This is highly individual and depends on what your goals are with the process.
I recommend 4-6 sessions at individually determined intervals to start. Perhaps this is enough for you to sustainably create the change you are looking for, maybe you’d like to keep coming. In the 5th session we’ll do a status-check and discuss where you are at and how to proceed.
Many of my clients experience desired changes within 3-5 sessions. Some are done after this, others continue to come but with more spaced out appointments for upkeep or prevention.
How many sessions will I need?
Craniosacral therapy is originally a specialised branch of osteopathy. It is based on osteopathy, and is also called biodynamic cranial osteopathy. Some osteopaths specialise in craniosacral work, but not all osteopaths work craniosacrally. As with everything, there are different branches of osteopathic and craniosacral work, which is why it is sometimes called biodynamic craniosacral therapy or biodynamic cranial osteopathy. This has to do with ways of working and techniques, and helps us practitioners to distinguish between things.
