What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)?
BCST is a body-led therapy, based on reverence, full respect and deep value of the inner body intelligence and self healing capacity of each individual.
Originated in Osteopathy, BCST derives from the discoveries made by
Osteopath Dr William Garner Sutherland in the late 1800s.
A core principle of BCST is that health is always present in the body. The therapist typically looks for and encourages the forces of health to set the priorities of the session and to bring about natural adjustments from within the body’s own resources.
BCST is therefore a very profound therapy, which enables the therapist and patient to gain access to the root causes of many conditions.
Biodynamic touch is light, still and reverential, there is never any pressure, manipulation or force involved. Performed on a massage table, the client remains fully clothed.
The therapist is trained to create a calm, still and embodied presence, which enables the client to feel safe, supported and held. This sense of safety allows the brain to switch from flight or fight to rest and repair. It is in this state that healing and change can take place.
Clients seek treatments for an extensive range of symptoms which can include – but are not limited to – physical pain, emotional imbalance, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) ,fatigue, disconnection with my own body sensations, stress related conditions sleep, immunity disorders as well as difficulties with sleep and digestive issues.
BCST is gentle and suitable for all ages, including during pregnancy, after childbirth, with newborns, young children, adults and the elderly.

BCST AND EMOTIONAL TRAUMA INTEGRATION:
Experiences that are too overwhelming or traumatic to cope with, can be stored in the system, locking the body in a “fight or flight” state, effects of this unresolved trauma can lead to illness and disease.
BCST works particularly well with trauma, by gently facilitating your body and brain to resolve held experiences, without the need to revisit the original traumatic incident.Working on the somatic memory and emotional charge
stored in the body after trauma, BCST complements very well with talk therapies.
Symptoms that respond well to BCST include – but are not limited to:
• Fight-flight-freeze response patterns
• Dissociation
• Hyper vigilance – being ‘on guard’
• Significant tension in own body
• Stress, anxiety and related conditions
• Fatigue
• Sense of disconnection from own body
• Sense of overwhelm
• Lack of sensations, physical discomfort/numbness in own body
Results BCST clients report – but are not limited to:
• Significant reduction of anxiety, overwhelm, stress and
related conditions

situations
• Increased mental clarity

• Enjoying an easier and more harmonious dynamic with
others and life
What Happens During a Session?
During the initial consultation, Natascia will allow some time for you to relax and feel comfortable. She will ask you some questions in order to gather enough understanding of your situation and needs.
You will then be invited to lay down on the massage table (comfortable clothes are recommended). Natascia will offer you some optional cushions and blanket, to help you optimise your comfort during the session.
Through deep skilled somatic listening, Natascia will then contact your body with feather-like touch. She will ‘listen’ to the subtleties of your system and follow its inherent ‘instructions’ to the areas where your system would like to be supported by biodynamic craniosacral contact, in order to allow change and integration. A light, reverent and still feather touch is what you will perceive, no manipulation will ever be involved.
Each session is led by your system. This means that change will happen accordingly to your comfort, at a pace directed by your body. This avoids overwhelm or re-traumatisation, and the results are therefore long lasting.
Results can be perceived after the first session, but a series of 3 to 6 treatments is generally recommended, in order to provide your body with a good opportunity for change and integration. Once the desired outcomes are reached, treatments can be then diluted to monthly maintenance, followed by occasional sessions.
How much does it cost?
Natascia aims to keep her fees to an accessible rate, but please let her know if you find yourself in a difficult financial situation.
Each treatment – 1 hour 30 mins – $150
