I feel incredibly lucky to have been introduced to these practices from a young age. My mother trained as a massage therapist, and I often found myself as the grateful ‘practice body’ during this time. Even then, I noticed how deeply relaxing and nurturing it felt to have time and space to rest — a welcome contrast to the demands of school and teenage life. I was also surrounded by a wonderful community of therapists through my (now) mother-in-law’s “Bliss Days” — these were inspiring gatherings filled with great wisdom and sharing of therapeutic experience. It was at one of these events that I first encountered Craniosacral therapy — a gentle but profound treatment that would later become one of my key offerings.
