Not every cranio sacral therapist will have experience in working with people with cancer so it is important to check with the therapist before you start.

You could say that any symptom, small or large, is an indication of a disharmony in a person's system. By 'system' I mean everything, mind, body, spirit and anything else we don't know about.

Cranio sacral therapy helps our system find harmony.

Cancer is often a life threatening condition. From my experience, the sort of disharmony that causes a life threatening condition is located at the very core of us. We are multi layered, multi faceted beings. It is not in our consciousness awareness.

Cranio sacral therapy is an extremely gentle approach and because of this gentleness it works very deeply in the body.

You may be wondering how that could be possible. It's a bit like trying to get pigeons to feed out of your hand. If you you run around trying to catch a pigeon, so you can put some food in its mouth you won't have much luck.

But, if you sit quietly and start off by throwing out pieces of bread. Once the pigeons start to eat the bread, you can throw it closer and closer to you until eventually the birds are eating out of your hand. That is the powerful effect of a gentle approach. It works the same with the body. If you push and pull it around you illicit a defensive response. The body tightens up to defend itself.

The reasons we die is the same as the reasons we are born. They are deep, personal and mysterious.

Good cranio sacral therapy doesn't presume to know the answers to why a person has a life threatening condition.

What it will do is respect the your process and give your body expert support to find harmony. Sometimes that means getting better, sometimes not. With every person I have worked with their quality of life has improved.

Cranio sacral therapy is also very helpful in mitigating the negative side effects of aggressive treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
