Gentle, light-touch bodywork with space to rest, settle and relax.

Gentle touch. Time for you.
Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch complementary treatment, usually offered while you rest fully clothed on a treatment table. Your practitioner uses gentle contact around areas such as the head, neck, back and sacrum, adapting the session to your comfort and preferences.
The experience is quieter and less physically intensive than remedial massage. At Healing Arts Studio, Maddy offers dedicated appointments for people who would like to explore a gentle approach to rest and body awareness.
A little space to settle
Learn about the experience, potential benefits and how to choose your appointment.
Some people find the quiet setting and gentle touch relaxing, and describe feeling calmer, more rested or more aware of tension in their body after a session. These are individual experiences rather than guaranteed treatment outcomes.
You may prefer this style of appointment if you’re looking for a gentle hands-on experience rather than deeper massage, or simply want time to pause. Talk with Maddy about what you’re hoping for so you can decide together whether it suits your needs.
Your appointment begins with a discussion of your health history, comfort and goals. You’ll usually rest fully clothed while Maddy uses light contact at agreed areas. You can ask questions, request a position change or pause treatment at any time.
Remedial massage generally works more directly with muscles and soft tissues using a range of pressures. Craniosacral therapy uses lighter contact and a quieter treatment approach. Maddy can help you choose between the appointment types.
Research has not established craniosacral therapy as an effective treatment for specific medical conditions. If you have pain, headaches or other symptoms, continue appropriate medical assessment and care. Any relaxation or sense of comfort you experience should be considered alongside that care.
Let Maddy know about recent head or spinal injury, surgery, neurological conditions or other significant health concerns before booking. She can discuss suitability and whether guidance from your treating clinician is needed.
