Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a profound, yet subtle and gentle approach which utilizes the human body’s natural ability to heal itself. The central nervous system has a lot of influence over your health and well-being. Few body systems have more impact on the CNS than the craniosacral system – the soft tissues and fluid that surround and protect your brain and spinal cord. The body absorbs stresses and strains over time and our body's can only endure so much before the tissues begin to tighten and affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system and nearly every other system in the body.
Since CranioSacral Therapy is so gentle, it is safe wellness session for virtually anyone, including infants, elderly, chronically ill people, pregnant women, and children. There are a few times, however, where CST is not advisable. Please check with your doctor upon proceeding. Contraindications: Any condition where a change of intracranial pressure would be harmful. *Immediately after a recent stroke or aneurysm. *A recent unevaluated closed head injury.
What to Expect :
BCST is about restoring the nervous system back into a state of balance with subtle rhythms of movement that are natural expressions of health. A therapists' calm centered presence aids a resourced nervous system to innately guides itself to remember its' optimal function. Sensing this safety, ones' system begins to unfold and reorganize towards a more communicative state. Trauma from pre-conditional forces such as accidents, whiplash, illness, birth affects and psycho-emotional or social experiences can disentangle from the body without disrupting these delicate internal environments. BCST encourages these natural, fluid systems to reestablish a harmonious, whole body flow for improved long term wellness including emotional mental health aspects. The recipient is fully clothed during the session.
Benefits of Cumulative Sessions :
After a series of treatments which vary for each individuals system, due to their life experiences, clients report coming into more emotional mental health or a relationship with their own body between 3-5 sessions at a minimum.
* BCST clears restrictions or held energy in the tissues of the body.
* BCST assists better sleep patterns, mental clarity and personal focus.
* BCST encourages physical longevity, emotional stability and energized life.
* BCST improves whole nervous system and immune health with organ functionality.
Testimony:
“When I started working with Virginia, it felt like my life was falling apart. Virginia's Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions really helped me process and work through a lot of stress, mental blocks and panic. Virginia is fantastic, I highly recommend her for self healing, craniosacral treatments.” – Janis B., 26 years Legal Assistant Calgary
Uniq Aromatherapy
Benefits of Cumulative Sessions :
Our holistic practitioner applies reflexology and or zone therapy techniques on the feet to encourage the body’s natural healing capability by supporting the following below:
* rejuvenating life force / energy potency
* digestion / elimination / lymph flow
* assimilation / blood circulation
We advise you drink plenty of water after, to continue flushing toxins & clearing the sensation of stagnant energy.
Contraindications: It is advised to check in with your doctor and perhaps a Registered Aromatherapist for further precautions in your individual situation of wellness concern and possible allergic response.
APPLICATION INFORMATION: Here is some lineage of the findings of zone therapy technique. Through research, Dr. Ersdal was able to chart the human anatomy as it relates to these “points” on the foot. He charted the entire physiology including the brain, blood and lymph circulation, and musculature. This method utilizes the feet’s natural “signal” system to establish balance, elevate your life energy and renew cells in the body. Now known as Reflexology.
ESSENTIAL OIL INFORMATION: If you are thinking about creating a habit that includes the use of essential oils, keep in mind that you take all measures to assess your wellness needs, to make informed decisions about essential oils, aromatherapy and what benefits essential oils may support you. Ask and be advised by your medical doctor for your personal emotional mental health assurances.
What Is Aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is the use of aromatic essential oils derived from plants for the purpose of enhancing the well-being of one's physical or psychological health. To create essential oils, the natural oils in certain plants are extracted and distilled, resulting in an extremely concentrated product packed with healing benefits. Essential oils engage a response in the brain that sends messages to the body. By inhaling essential oils, nerves in the nose, trigger powerful brain responses. Similarly, topical application (with a carrier oil) allows these essential oils to quickly enter the bloodstream by being absorbed through skin tissue. DoTerra has very specific quality reassurance process from start to finish, to ensure their products. These may be offered in a Thai Massage Bodywork session also.
What to Expect :
The recipients back and feet are exposed in order to apply the essential oils, lying face down on a massage table. As an old holistic system of health, known for its light tough techniques & clinical approach, it enhances emotional mental health through the recipients’ central nervous system, optimal immune system & organ function related to spinal connectivity, whole body renewal & re-balancing, positively supporting the body’s healthy autonomic function, giving wellness opportunity to unwind and let go of residual possible toxic build up that the body was unable to release fully on its' own.

'Thais believe that good health and freedom from pain result from the unhindered flow of vital energies through the body's connective tissues and with regular, cumulative Thai yoga massage sessions, muscles resume their normal resting length, which deceives the brain into 'thinking' that all is well and it reduces chronic tightness, increases circulation and for joint mobility restoration. It is said to free the trapped energy vortexes or holding patterns where tension and pain reside'.
This session works hand in hand with Acupuncture, Acupressure or TCM, enhancing emotional mental health.

When your Thai Practitioner is satisfied that the soft tissues have been adequately pressed, stretching begins. This may be the active participation of a yogic nature that influences the Thai Practitioners training and skill. Virginia is well known for her light touch wellness sessions which host a slow fluid rhythm or flow, so as to allow your natural system to adapt to self activating one's Relaxation Response.

Hanna Somatic Education -
“Somatics” is the study of the self from the perspective of one’s lived experience, encompassing the dimensions of body, psyche, and spirit. - Thomas Hanna
Well-known methods of somatic education include Clinical Somatic Education (also known as Hanna Somatic Education), Gentle Somatic Yoga ( Thomas Hanna Somatics ) the Feldenkrais Method and the Alexander Technique. Many include the use of hands-on movements, guided by a certified practitioner and self-care movements, practiced by the student on a regular basis at home. Our role is to empower students to take responsibility for themselves by repeating the tools so change is sustained over a long term regime, improving their posture, movement and function cumulatively in their lives.
What is Sensory Motor Amnesia?
We experience Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA) when the brain forgets how to relax tight, contracted muscles that are, in effect, on “cruise control. ”The Sensory and Motor Cortex" are area of systems in your brain that receive information from the environment and allow us to respond accordingly through movement. As we experience stress in various forms, we develop habits that result in storing pain and tension subconsciously. In effect, the brain forgets how to move the muscles and also forgets which muscles are contributing to the pain, therefore muscles stay contracted. What to Expect : Somatics is incredibly safe with its approach of gentleness, listening to the body’s signals while movement takes place. The important technique we use, called “pandiculation” is very slow, controlled voluntary motion. This slowness is the fastest way to change the signals from brain to muscle and the pace enhances strengthening. Pause and rest after movement flows, encourages the brain to reset and calibrate while repetition solidifies the healthy pattern of movement. It brings the muscles to optimum resting length and function.
