What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy has its roots in osteopathy.  The work has gone through a few
changes over the century.  It began as a bone-adjusting, manipulative technique practiced
only by osteopaths.  Over time it evolved into a gentler,
biomechanical style.  Many
craniosacral therapists work this way, coaxing tissues and bones into adjustment.  Their
fingers give subtle suggestions to the clients system to help create more mobility between
the bones, muscles, and connective tissues, freeing the fluids and blood flow (refer to
headache article as a for-instance), and easing nerve compression .

The Biodynamic Model. . .
In the past decade or so a biodynamic style has been emerging that is quite subtle and
deeply profound.  In this model, the practitioner’s fingers “listen” with careful attention
to a level in which the anatomical body interfaces with its fluid body and electromagnetic
field.
This biodynamic field has been dictating your form and function from conception
onwards.  When you were an emerging embryo, it established a mid-line that your body
grew and organized around.
The work aids your body in reorganizing along this midline according to its own design.
More recently, there are some practitioners who work with even subtler morphological
forces of the embryo.
We began as shaped protoplasm, and we have an embodied memory of that.  On a deep level
our bodies continue to organize (and maintain themselves) in accordance with an intention
set down in the fluids during our embryonic development.
In the deep rest and stillness of this work, one can reorient to these developmental
organizing forces.

I've been trained to work in all these styles.
