A Mother’s Experience of Craniosacral Therapy...

In August 2010 I fell pregnant with my second child.

During my first pregnancy I had experienced a lot of sciatica and lower back pain.

With my second pregnancy, not only was I carrying more weight than before, but the pain was like someone was stabbing knives into my lower back, my gluteus muscles and all the way down my left leg. I was consuming Panadol about 3-4 times a day and was having difficulty moving around, sitting, or even lying down due to the agony I was in.

This was very concerning to me as I was only about 20 weeks, so half way through my pregnancy, and I knew it would only get worse over time with the baby putting more pressure on my body and my pelvis shifting to accommodate it.

After my first session with Denise, the pain was vastly reduced for the first few days and my Panadol consumption stopped, then the pain came back – however not as strong as before. I think I had a total of 4 or 5 sessions with her, once a week. The last session I had caused some huge shifts within my body, and I have not once experienced any pain in my lower back, sciatica or gluteus muscles during the rest of my pregnancy!

I really recommend that if you are pregnant to see Denise, as it has made my potentially agonising pregnancy pain free, using non invasive techniques which caused no risk to the baby and made a huge difference to my comfort and sanity!

A Good Night's Sleep...

Working with mothers and babies is a very rewarding part of being a practitioner.  One of my happy memories was when a mother came in with her twins who were causing themselves and their mother stress and sleep deprivation, as they cried a lot and were very wakeful.   Amazingly after just one session treating mother and twins, they started sleeping up to 11 hrs straight! This continued until teething began....  

Not every mother and child responds quite this fast but most newborns are able to release physical and emotional issues rapidly, and it is the best time to correct bodily tensions, so that there is no accumulative progression into possibly more major issues in childhood/adulthood.
