The approach

Craniosacral resonance draws on the broader tradition of craniosacral and biodynamic body-based approaches that have developed over decades of clinical practice and exploration of bodily regulatory processes. The approach is grounded in a holistic understanding of the human organism and integrates knowledge from anatomy, physiology, embryology, as well as contemporary insights from neuroscience and psychology.

Central to this work is respect for the body’s innate intelligence and its capacity for self-regulation and healing. The focus lies in perceiving and supporting the body’s subtle internal rhythms and in creating conditions in which the nervous system can settle and restore balance. A key element of the process is attuned therapeutic presence, which allows the body to gradually orient toward safety and respond at its own pace.

After an initial conversation, the client lies fully clothed on a massage table. The practitioner uses gentle, attentive, and precise touch on selected areas of the body (such as the feet, sacrum, or beneath the head). The work is mostly conducted in silence, with verbal exchange added when needed. States of deep relaxation, calm, and inner focus often emerge, supporting regenerative processes and overall balance.

This method can also be used as a supportive complement to trauma-focused therapeutic work.

What this approach can support:

• physical and psychological balance,

• reduction of stress and tension,

• relief from pain and additional support in chronic conditions,

• support during periods of major life transitions or crisis,

• strengthening the capacity for self-regulation,

• deepening body awareness and processes of self-understanding.
