About Jeanette

Initial training with The Upledger Institute in 1977 and subsequently a Diploma with The Institute of Craniosacral Studies in 2008.A registered Craniosacral Therapist (RCST) with the Craniosacral Therapy Association UK, I undertake continued professional development to update my understanding and skills.My interest in natural health approaches to maintaining health and balance came early in life and I raised my family employing these principles.This led me to train in meditation, ayurvedic massage and marma therapy and for many years I facilitated mindfulness and breathwork courses.I am continuing this enquiry into many aspects of mind body medicine, especially craniosacral therapy which is my passion.

What is CST?

In recent years, mind/body medicine has become more visible and Craniosacral Therapy recognised as a major healing discipline working directly with many levels of human functioning.It is an exceptionally gentle yet powerful form of treatment that engages the inherent healing forces within the body, encouraging the natural restoration of healthy functioning that can become compromised.As we journey through life we experience injury, stress and strain, disease and trauma of many kinds. These experiences impact on the physical, psychological and emotional aspects of our lives.Because of the subtle, unimposing and respectful nature of the treatment the body/mind is gently encouraged to ‘open up’, permitting access to the deepest levels, the root cause of symptoms and underlying health. This can result in the resolution of long-term symptoms and restored balance.

Treatment

Client and therapist sit together and discuss health concerns and medical history before moving to a treatment table, fully clothed, where treatment begins with a guided process to ensure you feel comfortable and able to relax.The therapeutic touch is very light and gentle and is usually on the head (cranium) and lower back (sacrum). During a session you may relax so deeply you fall asleep, enter a quiet, meditative/dreamlike state or simply enjoy a pleasant sense of warmth, softening or widening.After the treatment some time will be taken to check in with how you feel.

Babies

The birth process affects the alignment of a baby’s head and body. CST has potential to resolve issues that arise as a result of this powerful experience.New parents seek out the assistance of CST practitioners when there are feeding, sleeping, pooping, ‘colic’ concerns. Also, mums and dads need time to restore and rebalance negotiating this wonderful new experience and often discover that CST is nourishing for them too.

I first starting having craniosacral therapy eight years ago and it’s the only therapy that has significantly improved my chronic back problem. My experience is that the light touch allows deep healing and the release of ingrained strain patterns, allowing my body to return to a natural state of equilibrium. It alleviates physical and emotional distress.Lauren – Counselling Psychologist
While talking therapy has helped me understand underlying trauma and triggers in work and relationships, it became clear that I had stored trauma and stress in my nervous system and this needed deeper ‘de-programming’. After several treatments, my clenched jaw began to ease, my neck and shoulder pain subsided and I started to rely less on maladaptive coping strategies like alcohol etc. Sessions leave me feeling expansive and clear minded and I have been very impressed with how quickly sessions in cranialsacral therapy can alleviate and help trauma in the body. Jeanette is very calming, wise and open as a practitioner, which also helps the process along. I am very thankful I found this when I needed it, or I may have burned out completely.Anna – Personal Assistant
I visited Jeanette after weeks off work. I was suffering vertigo, double vision, limb and facial numbness, coupled with bouts of severe facial spasms which left me extremely exhausted. The local doctors could offer no diagnosis. Within one session my general calmness was noticeable and after three sessions I had clear vision, little vertigo and was sleeping soundly every night. Soon I was back at work operating at full capacity with energy to spare. I was amazed at the difference just a couple of sessions made.Lisa - College Lecturer
My 3 yr old had been diagnosed with a speech delay and had made limited progress in his speech development. He wanted to speak but it seemed he didn’t have full movement of his mouth. This resulted in a lot frustration and affected his behaviour; he had little concentration and was difficult to manage in busy places. After his first Craniosacral Therapy session the difference in his behaviour was huge and over the next few sessions he became calmer, more focused and participated in activities such as drawing, baking and playing games. He had always participated in these activities but had never completed them. Overall I cannot describe Craniosacral Therapy in enough detail to do it justice, but the impact it has had on my little boy is amazing.Brenda – Retired Telecoms Supervisor
After years of stress I was at a crisis point in my life suffering PSD. A friend recommended Jeanette and Craniosacral therapy. After one session of CST I was overwhelmed at how I felt - calmer, more relaxed and a feeling that maybe I had found a way forward at last. After years of bad sleep I slept better that first night and the following few days. Over time, visiting Jeanette my symptoms have greatly improved. My constant diagnosed cough has reduced to near nothing; nausea and vomiting has decreased; and the ridiculous weakness I was feeling throughout my body so I could hardly walk is so much better. I feel recharged, energised, more balanced with a more positive attitude and with a feeling of true well-being.
