What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural rhythms to unwind tension, regulate the nervous system and support deep healing. It’s ideal for issues like headaches, jaw tension, sleep disturbances, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm, physical pain or tension patterns and whiplash.

Can Craniosacral Therapy help with stress or anxiety?

Yes. This therapy works directly with the nervous system, helping your body move from a state of fight-or-flight into rest and regulation. Many people experiencing burnout, trauma, or chronic stress find relief and clarity through this work.

How do I know which treatment to book?

Both support healing, but they work in different ways. Craniosacral Therapy is subtle and deeply restorative, often supporting emotional release and nervous system reset. Remedial Massage is more physical and focused on tension, pain relief or muscular issues. If you're unsure, we can tailor your session on the day or combine both.

Is Craniosacral Therapy safe during pregnancy?

Absolutely. It’s a gentle and supportive therapy that can help with lower back pain, sleep, pelvic tension, emotional regulation, connection to baby and preparing the body for birth. Sessions are adapted to suit each stage of pregnancy.

Do you work with children or babies?

Yes. Craniosacral Therapy is especially supportive for babies experiencing birth trauma, feeding or sleep issues, or colic. It’s also helpful for children who are sensitive, overwhelmed, or navigating big transitions.

What should I wear to a session?

For Craniosacral sessions, please wear loose, comfortable clothing. You’ll remain fully clothed and lying down. For massage sessions, you’ll be draped professionally and only the area being worked on will be uncovered.

Do you offer private health fund rebates?

Yes. Rebates are available for Remedial Massage and integrative bodywork sessions with eligible health funds. Craniosacral-only sessions are not typically covered.

Can I book a mobile massage or home visit?

Yes, mobile sessions are available for clients in the Byron Bay, Tweed Coast and Gold Coast areas. Please contact me to discuss your location and availability before booking.

What conditions does Craniosacral Therapy help with?

Craniosacral Therapy may help with chronic or acute pain (including back pain, neck pain, and sciatica), headaches, TMJ tension, stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, fatigue, hormonal shifts, digestive issues, grief, and a sense of disconnection. It supports rest, alignment, and reconnection with the body’s innate wisdom.

I first came to bodywork wanting to offer something meaningful and sustainable. A way to support others through presence, touch and grounded care. Early on in my practice, I noticed a quiet current of energy coming through my hands and this led to my exploration into healing arts.

Through my own experience of chronic pain and complex nervous system dysfunction, I came to understand how deeply the body holds experience and how that impacts our way of being in the world.

I found that healing often begins with meeting what is present, not trying to change or fix it.

This led me to Visionary Craniosacral Work alongside massage.

A visionary practitioner is trained to perceive not just where there is discomfort, but what is truly needed. This approach supports both resolution and the return of inner connection.

I offer this work with care and respect for the body’s intelligence. Each session is a space to listen, to follow what is ready to shift and to support realignment.

My signature sessions are designed to support you through the moments in life when your system is asking for more space, care and freedom. Each treatment is a blend of hands-on therapies that work together to ease tension, restore balance and help you feel more at home in your body.

I draw from Visionary Craniosacral Work, remedial massage, visceral work, cupping and trauma imprint repair processes. These tools are not used in a fixed way. They’re woven together intuitively, guided by what your body needs and the intention we set together.

The focus is always on resourcing the nervous system, working towards resolving patterns of holding and inviting deeper connection.
