My journey through the world of Craniosacral therapy and Biodynamic Massage has been a quest for wholeness within myself and a joy of intuitive learning I had not known was possible in my formal high school education. It brought me home to myself. It began after four years active duty service, Air Force, in the Mojave dessert where I met my husband. He got orders to RAF Lakenheath, so we moved to the UK, where I attended College of Craniosacral Therapy in London, Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre, & a beautiful residential training on the Devonshire Moors at Karuna Institute.

I have been in practice for 18 years and each moment spent in relationship with a patient, we discover the possibility of stillness, transformation, potential for deep listening and healing. “When the Body is truly listened to, it becomes eloquent.” ~Marion Woodman

While studying in England for so many years, friends and fellow students would ask me, how does it make you feel, that the American healthcare system leaves so many behind? That planted the seeds of yearning to use my creativity towards fundamental change. I founded Red Berets Medicare for All, because I believe healthcare is a human right and this should include holistic care. We organize at the grassroots and we craft for nurses and for the 99%.

Do you have tension or migraine headaches? Neck or back pain? Digestive or sleep disturbances? Stress, anxiety or depression? The deep listening approach of Craniosacral therapy and Biodynamic Massage can help.

“When the body is finally listened to, it becomes eloquent. It’s like changing a fiddle into a Stradivarius.” ~Marion Woodman

And then again, fiddles are a lot of fun! So it’s really about honoring what speaks!

Let’s meet with an open mind and heart, and allow what comes into the space to feel safe, welcome, and held.

How can we heal our community, our country and our world, when so many can’t get the basic care they need? I know we will find a way to meet our moral imperative and as we work to do that, through our community service and activism, we bring our skills, training and gifts. For me, not to have been doing so was a withholding that was to present a fractured self to the world.

After a bit of a pause doing activism full time, I am practicing Craniosacral therapy right here locally in Hilltop! The community that Dr Marconi and all of the wonderful therapists have built there can be felt immediately.

“At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.”

~T.S. Eliot

I’m now practicing my Craniosacral and Biodynamic Massage work at Marconi Chiropractic in Hilltop, right in my own community, which feels right. This piece of art reminds me of the sphenoid, because it’s referred to as the butterfly bone, and is really ‘the bone’ in Craniosacral work.

“I’ve not been offering much of this work recently. I can file for reimbursement through insurance companies, or I can continue to build a cash based business with those of relative privilege. Few in my neighborhood can afford my fee. This is why I’m an advocate for Medicare for All.” ~Laura Fielding

What is there to be said about living and studying in a country that not only understands healthcare to be a human right, but one in which holistic therapies are much more interwoven with conventional medicine than here in the United States?

It was my privilege. It also is my solemn responsibility to do all that I can to make it so in my home country. Our human family is relying on us to find the stillness, compassion and the love within us.

People often ask me, “what is Craniosacral Therapy?” It is the stillness that is possible. It is to be safely held. It is approaching symptoms with non-judgement and curiosity, thereby creating space for them to dissipate. It is the possibility of freedom from the constant work of the mind for even a few blissful moments. It is to know ourselves in real relationship with with another. It is to heed the call of the central nervous system to slow down. It is to accept ourselves just as we are, with all of our imbalance. It is to be open to a new possibility in each arising moment.

It is to rediscover the breath; the long tide that underlies life itself.

On a mid-winter day, take the time to take a breath.

Biodynamic Massage - Part 2 with Mary Molloy

14/11/2017

Hello local friends! This a lovely and clear summary offered by Mary Malloy. I don’t know her, but in seeking an educational video to share which explains why I use a stethoscope in Biodynamic massage, I feel she captured it perfectly. There are 3 more parts to this series, so I’ll be posting each day.

Monday the 20th from 9 until 1pm, I will be doing an open house for both the opportunity for group process, where you observe, as well as the opportunity to each take a turn receiving the work. I will probably also integrate some Craniosacral techniques so you can get a sense of both.

I will post further details in the coming days. This is an extraordinary tool for helping to make external, what is internal and generally unavailable to us moment to moment, and for soothing the central nervous system which is almost constantly in hyperdrive in our modern world.

Introduction to Biodynamic Massage - Part 1 with Mary Molloy

08/11/2017

What is understood about Craniosacral Therapy as it pertains to life? That both practitioner and client must slow down, and quiet themselves, which is far more already, at the outset than many of us allow ourselves to do in a week, let alone a day.

When both have quieted, deep listening is possible. One of the tidal manifestations presents itself, or comes to the fore. The Craniosacral rhythm, the mid-tide, or the long tide. What happens as we become aware of tidal manifestations? The answer is in the question.

One can only know in each new moment what this means or what it is to experience. We struggle to find words because words fall short in the realm of experience.

As practitioner, it is a tremendously healing experience to take an hours pause from the over-stimulation of today's modern world.

This article reminds me of my recent training I did with Ursula Popp, who was long ago a student of and then a teacher for, Hugh Milne, who is a third generation Osteopath and pioneer in his own method of Craniosacral work and author of The Heart of Listening.

Ursula took us out to meditatively observe the Sound and tune in to the slower Craniosacral rhythms of the mid tide and long tide. This was a deeply calming experience, and one which is available to all of us. Make your way to a body of water and you can tune in to these tides that connect us all!

There is something magical about a large body of water. A stretch of ocean across the coastline with never ending waves; a large flat lake…
