Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating, releasing restrictions, and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system.

The craniosacral system comprises the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

During CST sessions, the client is fully clothed.

Somato-Emotional Release

At Elysian Rose, we use the Somato-Emotional Release® manual therapy process developed by Dr. Upledger that expands on the core principles of Craniosacral Therapy to help rid the body of the residual effects of past trauma and negative emotional experiences. This process includes therapeutic dialogue, working with imagery and the unconscious mind to address underlying mental-emotional challenges that might be contributing to dis-ease. The goal is to facilitate a holistic mind-body approach to the resolution of problems and obstacles related to patient/client progress and growth.

“What does it mean to hold space for someone else? It means that we are willing to walk alongside another person in whatever journey they’re on without judging them, making them feel inadequate, trying to fix them, or trying to impact the outcome.”

“When we hold space for other people, we open our hearts, offer unconditional support, and let go of judgment and control.”

“Holding space is a key part of what we do in Upledger CranioSacral Therapy: being neutral, supporting the client’s intuition and inner wisdom, creating a safe space – rather than trying to fix, give advice, judge, or even to know.”

– Dr. John E. Upledger
