Biodynamic Somatic Therapy

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy is a method of gently realigning the body’s dynamics to release tension, restore balance, and support holistic healing from chronic pain, stress, and emotional volatility.

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy (BST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural rhythms to reorganise from misaligned or overworked states into more fluid, available, and spacious states of internal harmony. 

Rooted in Craniosacral dynamics, BST focuses on the spine—the core of the central nervous system—helping to address chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and the lingering effects of trauma. 

By fostering a deeper connection between mind and body, BST offers a supportive space for physical recovery and emotional integration, allowing you to navigate life’s challenges with more internal spaciousness, increased capacity, and availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Biodynamic Somatic Therapy (BCST) invites a settling of the nervous system through creating a stronger bridge between the mind and body by relating your current physical and emotional experiences to your body’s patterns. 

The session involves a conversation mapping the mind-body connection in aspects of your life, follow by a body-work session with gentle consensual touch and receptive communication, closing with a debriefing on the experience and ways to continue for long-term support.

The key components to this therapy is the presence and touch in creating a relational field between the therapist and client that allows for a sense of safety.

Safety invites a more spacious capacity for healing.

Touch is a language of listening to the body. Each palm has 17,000 touch receptors and nerve endings.

These receptors allow skilled therapists to sense specific subtle internal rhythms and movement of the varied fluids (tissues, muscles, nerves, neurons, bones, fascia, etc) in the body.

Our bodies are dynamic living systems and touch is a way of listening to that life force.

When a grounded, balanced, and regulated presence creates a safely held space for the recipient to receive; it allows for the potential to access a deeper sense of embodied awareness.

Given the demands of a modern urban lifestyle; we often experience disconnection between mind and body. Receiving touch can deepen and expand our relationship to our bodies.

People have experienced some of the following:

  • Feeling safer in their bodies, which leads to being able to feel safer with and around other people.
  • Release of restrictions and tensions in the body
  • Small subtle movements and adjustments (reorganising) in the body
  • Temperature shifting (cold to warm, healthy blood flow increase)
  • Deep sense of relaxation and relief
  • A sense of calmness and clarity to gain insights
  • Reduction of pain and aches in the body
  • Improved immunity or sleep
  • Better digestion and relaxed nervous systems
  • Heightened bodily awareness and connection
  • Better coping mechanism with stress
  • Experiencing less ‘threat’ or ‘hyper-vigilance’ in their daily lives. Often in the form of anxiety or panic attacks.
  • Being able to have stronger boundaries and a better sense of ‘self’. Often, this leads to less people-pleasing.
  • Softening of the aches, tension, and tightness in the body; that’s often chronic or returning pain. Leading to a more light-hearted experience of living.
  • Supportive aid for medical surgery or cancer recovery. Allowing the stress in the body to gently release.

If you have a body, you can receive bodywork.

It is especially effective for caretakers, people experiencing chronic pain in the body, people who want to feel a stronger connection with their mind and bodies.

For Mothers experiencing pre or post partum, this treatment is deeply effective. It also applies to infants and children.

This treatment is encouraged for people who experience regular patterns of chronic fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety; along with expressions of physical and emotional trauma that can be triggered from accidents, illnesses, intensive medical treatments (chemotherapy, surgery, etc.), psychological issues, anxious or avoidant relational dynamics, and more.

BST is a holistic and clinically effective therapy for the treatment of emotional, physiological, and medical issues.

It is supportive of creating a state of restoration by accessing and inviting the inherent capacity for the body to self-repair.

Through periodical BST treatments over time, a person can experience transformation through an increase in vitality, resilience, mental and emotional clarity, a changing of harmful patterns that encourage dis-ease, and healthier ways of relating to oneself and others.

Holistic health has values of preventative care.

Meaning, rather than waiting for a sickness or illness to grow worse or even occur; we treat the body to continuously come into balance.

We recommend 3 consecutive sessions for a more effect and deeper impact.

Long term maintenance is particularly supportive, the frequency would vary on a case-to-case basis.

You may reschedule up to 24 hours prior to your booking. Any later than that is chargeable at 100%.

The Biodynamic Approach

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle non-invasive, hands-on session for the whole body.

The session focus is to support the inherent health of the whole being, especially the nervous system. The nervous system dictates all of the body’s functioning, constantly sending and receiving information.

The Biodynamic approach has evolved into a remarkable body therapy that has created a highly-skilled way of listening to the body’s inherent health expressions.

The therapist typically looks for and encourages the forces of health to set the priorities of the session and to bring about natural adjustments from within the body’s own resources.

It is characterised by a strong orientation to the holism of the human experience where both the body’s anatomy and physiology are related to with the subtle forces of life that act through the interface of the body’s fluids.

The therapy creates a safe space for traumatic experiences to emerge and resolve smoothly without being overwhelming or re-stimulating.
