Craniosacral Therapy

Wintern House

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses light touch to encourage healing and enhance inner awareness. This approach operates on the principle that the body inherently possesses the resources for health. Through gentle touch and an attentive, listening approach, craniosacral therapy provides a subtle yet profound form of healing, helping the body achieve balance from within rather than imposing external adjustments.

Why Us?

Craniosacral Therapy

In this therapy, the practitioner tunes into a natural, unconscious rhythm within the body, similar to a heartbeat or breath but much more subtle. This rhythm, known as the “Breath of Life,” originates from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, moving in a tide-like motion. The movement of bones, tissues, and fluids throughout the body adjusts to accommodate this flow, offering clues to areas holding trauma or tension. By listening to these rhythms, the practitioner can identify focal points where the body may naturally initiate healing.

Craniosacral therapy can facilitate the release of personal history—whether emotional, physical, or spiritual—that is stored in the body’s tissues. Areas of tension, trauma, or restriction held by the body’s life force, or “potency,” are gently released, freeing energy to flow throughout the system, which supports overall wellbeing.

Matt has been immersed in the study of Internal Martial Arts since 1995 and has taught Qigong and Tai Chi since 2002. In 2019, he fulfilled a lifelong ambition by studying Ancient Chinese and Daoist Medicine at Xian Tian College of Daoist Medicine, learning directly from esteemed masters in the field. Now, Matt brings his extensive knowledge to his clinical practice, supporting clients with physical, mental, and emotional imbalances. A cornerstone of Matt’s practice is acupuncture, a central method in traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture seeks to harmonize the body’s flow of Qi (energy) by gently inserting fine, thin needles at specific points along the body’s meridians (energetic pathways). Rooted in the belief that health is the result of balance between yin and yang forces, acupuncture helps address energy blockages, thereby aiding in relief from pain, stress, and various physical and emotional challenges. Matt tailors each session, ranging from 45 to 75 minutes, to individual needs, aiming to restore balance and facilitate self-healing. Through his deep commitment and expertise in these ancient practices, Matt helps clients reconnect with their natural state of health and well-being.
