In a first session we discuss;

• the reasons for coming,

•  the client's brief medical history,

• priorities and expectations, 

• privacy and confidentiality. 

 

Subsequent sessions:

•  start with reflecting on how the client has been and is now.​​

 Each session begins with 'tuning in' to the clients system -  at the clients shoulders (or feet).

​

Once the 'holistic shift' has become noticeable in which  the parasympathetic nervous system (nerves that governs relaxation) is back 'on-line' the practitioner and client are ready to begin work. 

The practitioner negotiates a series of holds that might be on the head/sacrum or other parts of the body. ​

​

These holds invite the release of patterns of tensions held in the body, which can release effects of the retained physical/emotional/

spiritual trauma.

​

​The verbal engagement is negotiated during the release of these 'patterns'.                               

CST thus encourages mind/body/spirit homeostasis through self-healing. 

 

The session finishes with 'grounding' and 'closure' at the client's feet.

 

Clients often describe  feelings of  'relaxation', 'peace' or being 'put back together' often citing a reduction in 'tensions' or 'pain', increased positivity and/or feeling 'reconnected'.​​​​
