I am a qualified Advanced Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, with a diploma in Sound Therapy (working with individuals and with groups) and a Professional Laser Therapist in Bioflex LILT.
BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (BCST)
I started my training in Craniosacral Therapy 10 years ago and have trained with 2 different schools in Ireland, each had a different approach and I have done many post-grad workshops over the years, here in Ireland and abroad with other craniosacral schools. I love the biodynamic craniosacral approach to working with the body and am always amazed at how the body can repair, recover, rejuvenate and heal itself!! BCST is a gentle hands-on therapy, that works with the pace of the client, to help bring about a state of balance and health. It works with the body’s own healing ability to change the affects that stress, injury, shock, illness, trauma and impact have on the body, supporting the client on a physical, mental and emotional level as they move towards better health. A cranio treatment is an hour of biodynamic craniosacral therapy.
SOUND THERAPY & HEALING
In cranio we also work with the meridians and accupressure points and this got me interested in using tuning forks on these points. I noticed the body responded very well to them and to other sounds and this led me to doing a diploma in Sound Therapy & Healing using lots of different instruments: Tibetan bowls, gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks, drums & percussion, vocal toning, rattles & shakers, rainstick & Tibetan bells. Our body absorbs the sounds (we are approx. 80% water & sound travels very well through water) and the frequency from the sounds travel right into cellular level affecting our cells health and function, and works deeply and quickly, yet gently.
At a cellular level, the internal part of our cells is directly and continuously connected to the external fibers by molecules called integrins, which communicate information back and forth between the cell interior and connective tissue system in which the cells are embedded. The living matrix is defined as the continuous molecular fabric of the organism, consisting of fascia, other connective tissues, extra cellular matrices, integrins, cytoskeletons, nuclear matrices and DNA. It has the ability to generate and conduct vibrations, and appears to serve as an “energetic nervous system“, that conducts energy and information much faster than nerve impulses. (James Oschman 2000) Basically all our cells can connect and communicate with every other cell in the body, very very very quickly!
Through the Living Matrix, sound affects our whole body’s health, and changes take place in our immune system, endocrine system and autonomic system. Sounds can also alter the brain frequencies to the different brainwaves associated with the deep states of relaxation (e.g. alpha-theta and delta) that change mental states of consciousness resulting in relaxation, peace, calmness and healing. Healing sounds also help balance our left and right brain hemispheres, manifest positive states of consciousness linking to mental, emotional and physical balance, harmony and well-being. Sound can bring about transformation on every level of our being – physical, emotional, mental, energetic and spiritual.
A Sound treatment lasts an hour and can be given to an individual, or to a group of people (this is usually called a Sound Bath, Sound Meditation or a Sound Journey). I hold Sound Baths regularly on the island. If you have a group coming to the island and would like a Sound Bath for them, please contact me.
We also work with the Living Matrix in biodynamic craniosacral therapy. I’ve also found a combination of sound and cranio is a beautiful way to work with the body.
BIOFLEX LASER THERAPY
We discovered the Bioflex Laser when looking for something to help my husband with the daily pain and stiffness in his ankle, which he broke in a motorbike accident 27 years ago, that was continually getting worse and worse due to degenerative osteoarthritis in the ankle joint. We have both trained in this laser therapy as we've seen how well it works, how it can improve conditions and help with pain.
Bioflex Laser Therapy is a light-based therapy that uses red and infrared light to target inflamed, injured and diseased tissues. It is also called Cold Laser or Low Level Laser Therapy as it doesn’t use a laser that produces heat that damages the skin when placed on the body. It uses Led lights that range between 660nm and 840nm. It is non-invasive and works with our cells. The light interacts with our cells resulting in an increased production of and the release of endorphins (natural analgesics), cortisol, growth hormone (instrumental in tissue repair) and ATP (which improves and regulates cellular metabolism. There is also increased protein synthesis (collagen, DNA, fibroblasts), venous and lymphatic flow facilitated, increased angiogenesis (elevation of oxygen saturation) and enhanced immune response. Sessions vary in length, from approx. 35 mins to 70 mins, e.g. treating a larger area like the back would be a longer treatment session than treating a smaller area like a wrist or the fingers.
