As a nurse myself, I am very conscious of the breathing rhythm of my patients. As a craniosacral therapist, I al ..read more

The Power of touch Receptors in the hands are continually active as we touch objects. Our brains analyse the size, texture, shape, weight, density instantly. The brains somatosensory pathways integrate this information from thousands of sensors in the hands and transform it to a form suitable for cognition and action. Touch is active or passive. Active touch is when we make contact consciously and passive is when something or someone touches you inadvertently. Our hands have 4 different types of receptors that are activated when we touch objects, the way a blind person moves their fingers ove ..read more

During lockdown, I started doing virtual healing sessions with clients. Initially I trialed a few with a friend, we were both a bit skeptical, that didn't last long as we both saw the benefits. we kept coming back for more to test the waters, so to speak and as we continued to see results, I decided to bring it to my clients. It works, no ifs, how's, why's, it just does. Once a client has expressed interest, and shares what is bothering them with me, we set up the time and date. All you need is a comfortable place to sit or lie, undisturbed if possible. you can do this from your office, home ..read more

Cerebrospinal fluid surrounds our brains and spinal cord, one of its functions is to cushion these organs from injury. Unfortunately when traumatic force is involved , this system fails to protect. As a result, the i ..read more

Plumbing as we all know consists of bringing fresh water and disposing of waste water, just like in our homes. In the brain this consists of a. the blood supply and b .the Lymphatic system which brings toxins away from the brain. Within the inner workings of the brain, we have a flow of fluid called the Cerebrospinal fluid(csf). CSF is a clear fluid that nourishes and protects the brain and spinal cord. It is continuously being replenished in the brain, providing a fresh supply of nutrients to the d ..read more
