Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
At the Body Intelligence Clinic we have qualified practitioners trained in the worlds leading natural medicine.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is based on a number of findings about the body's subtle physiology, which were made by osteopaths in the early 1900's. These findings show that every living body expresses an internal rhythmic movement which is fundamental to life, this is known as craniosacral motion.
The body's craniosacral system comprises of the brain and spinal cord which are bathed in cerebrospinal fluid, this forms the core of the central nervous system. This unique fluid flows in a tide-like motion (craniosacral motion) around the central nervous system and plays an important role in the body's state of health.
When we experience stress, trauma, a physical knock, or develop a 'fight or flight' response, the body's tissues contract and can remain frozen in a compressed state. These restrictions have an affect on craniosacral motion which is detrimental to the way in which the body functions. As a result, health problems may arise over the years which can be both physical (such as back pain, migraine or digestive disorders) and emotional (such as anxiety or depression).
Practitioners at The Body Intelligence Clinic are trained to feel this subtle motion and can identify areas where these restrictions occurs. By supporting the body's intelligence in this way the treatment helps stimulate deep intrinsic reorganizations within the tissues, fluids and its energetic and emotional layers.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR TREATMENT
In most treatments you will lie down fully clothed on a treatment table and experience a very light touch of the practitioners hands. You may feel a deep sense of relaxation, and possibly become aware of heat, tingling, pulsations or other sensations.
Who Can it Help
The gentle non-invasive nature of the treatment means that it's safe and suitable for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and also those in a fragile or acutely painful condition.
Through this light touch the practitioner encourages and supports the body to release patterns of tension and strain, bringing about physical ease and improved vitality and stamina levels.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY FOR MOTHER BABY & CHILDREN
Craniosacral therapy assists the pregnant woman along her journey into mothering and supporting inner resources for health.
During pregnancy, craniosacral therapy primary focus is to help release restrictions in the pelvis to relieve back and hip pain tension and to prepare for labour and birth.
The treatment involves a very light touch that supports the mothers inner resources and allows for the opportunity for an increase in the health expression of the body, facilitating release and regaining balance.
Whilst the baby is in the womb, Craniosacral Therapy encourages optimal labor, birth and the bonding process between baby and parents.
In the postpartum period, the treatment helps restore musculskeletal reintegration, emotional balance and pelvic health. We have found that treatment is even more effective for infants when the mother is simultaneously treated.
TREATMENT FOR BABIES AND INFANTS
Infants and children respond wonderfully to Craniosacral Therapy, being nearer to the source of life, they have fewer layers of conditioning and are not so organised around emotional and physical compensations.
Listening to the Craniosacral System with a felt sense often reveals birth and pre-birth details as expressed by the body.
Practitioners at the Body Intelligence Clinic have found treatment is even more effective for infants when the mother is simultaneously treated.
In a normal vaginal birth the infants' body undergoes spiraling compressive forces that ignite the first breath. When the infant is securely and lovingly received, makes skin to skin contact and is welcomed to the mothers breast, the unfolding of the compressive forces will begin immediately. If the mother follows her instincts to stoke the baby's head as it breastfeeds, even the bones that have overlapped will, within the next few days, begin to rebalance.
During a natural birth the baby's head is subjected to strong compressive forces, particularly with a long or difficult labour, forceps or ventouse intervention.
Births that involve these common issues may result in residual affects within the baby's system and may need support to fully resolve. Sometimes its possible of a normal birth to result in strains of the bones that form the skull.
Hyperextension of the babys head as it emerges from birth canal can cause compression of the cranial base and the opening through which the jugular vein and the vagus nerve exit the cranium, just behind the bottom of the ear. The vagus nerve is responsible for regulation of the digestive syste and restriction here can lead to difficulty in sucking, colic. and general irritability.
Craniosacral Therapy has become known for its gentle yet effective treatment of some of the most common conditions found in babies and children such as colic, feeding problems, restlessness, disturbed sleep and reoccurring infections.
Affects of birth trauma on the soft, still forming bones and tissues of the skull can be identified which, if left untreated, can lead to more persistent problems.
The following is a selection from the many conditions which have shown to respond favourably to treatment.
Autisum - Arthritis - Anxiety - Asthma - Back pain - Eye strain - Dental and TMJ (jaw) problems - Depression - Digestive problems - Ear infections - Dizziness - Exhaustion - Insomnia - Dyslexia - Hyperactivity - Fall injuries Head injuries - Stroke - Joint pain - Hearing problems - Chronic fatigue - High blood pressure - Migraine - Neck pain - Stress - Tension headaches - Nervous disorders - Vertigo
Our Practitioners
Dianne Saville
Dianne has been around natural therapies most of her life. Her parents owned a Health and Nutrition Store for many years so it was a natural progression to follow a similar path. Dianne first qualified in Bowen Therapy for Humans Equine and Canine. After a few years of practicing Bowen on the horse, she became more aware of her felt sense through her hands. This insight led Dianne into the discovery of Craniosacral Therapy. After two years of training and continued post graduate courses, Dianne is now a qualified practitioner.QUALIFICATION DETAILSBiodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Diploma - (RCST) PACT Post Graduate Training Mother and BabyPost Graduate Training with Michael Shea2nd Degree Reiki - Usui System of Natural HealingDiploma Therapeutic Massage - Brandon Raynor School of Natural TherapiesBowen Therapy for Humans - Kelda Lea Bowen Therapy Centre - Smart Bowen TrainedBowen Therapy for Equine and Canine - Kelda Lea Bowen Therapy CentreCurrently attending two year teacher training with the College of Elemental Chi Kung.

Jason Lambert
Jason was brought up in the beautiful seaside county of Cornwall in south west of England, it was here that he developed his passion for nature and the ocean through fishing, diving and photography. After studying at Plymouth University in the UK he headed off to explore the world and has spent the last 14 years in New Zealand.The majority of those years have been spent heavily involved within New Zealand's Fishing Industry for both the government and the commercial sector. Towards the end of 2006 Jason embarked in a change of direction to fulfill himself, culminating in becoming a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner. He is currently studying Dolphin Assitsted Therapy and developing an Ocean based form of Craniosacral Therapy that he intends to offer, here in New Zealand in 2011.QUALIFICATIONS DETAILSDiploma Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy - RCST PACT
