Craniosacral inspired techniques

Very gentle forms of manual work inspired by the craniosacral approach.

A calm quality of touch

These techniques use subtle contact and longer moments without intensive movement.

At Sakura they may be one element of a session, not a diagnosis or medical treatment.

Comfort remains central

Gentleness does not remove the need to discuss contraindications and wellbeing.

Any stage may be adjusted or omitted.

What the stage may feel like

Contact can be almost still, so the lack of strong movement does not mean the practitioner has stopped working.

You may ask about hand placement or request a different position at any moment.
