What do we tell people when they have an acute injury?
​

Stay calm. 
Then what?
Breathe.
And Finally?
Listen to your body.
Does it need further care or rest?
​
If this is so natural then why do we constantly go against these tendencies in other areas of our lives including chronic pain, anxiety and stress? Much of the time, we do not give our bodies the rest they need and and we simply carry on as if nothing has happened. If the body is in a heightened and/or constant state of arousal, activity or stress, then we are actively blocking our parasympathetic nervous system from working. This is what allows our body to sleep, digest, heal, repair and remove toxins. Kind of important. We rarely allow ourselves the time to recuperate and regain full awareness until it is too late and we need a stress leave, have a nervous breakdown, change careers (looking for external solutions) or go the doctor to find a quick fix  because we are lacking something. I believe that Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is integral in helping to calm the body, release its hypersensitivities and finally to allow it to breathe and rest in order to find balance on its own. Ancient Chinese and Tribal wisdom allude to the fact that the secret of man is "hidden" within. 
How far we have come from that.
In addition to this (it is now, early 2022) we are collectively feeling a whole new level of dis-ease and I dare say this is worse. We have spent the last two years in various stages of concern, fear and/or defiance and like above, that is okay in the short term and we are pretty good at recognizing that and "pushing through" in the acute 
phase. Our state has now become chronic though and that is a trickier puzzle to piece together. We will all have different triggers. It might be that person standing too close, or the friend standing too far, it could be the person who doesn't have a mask on in the store or the person wearing one alone in the vehicle. It could be cringing at people hugging in public or someone refusing a hug to a child or it may be the lament of life's changed course or the time "lost" along the way. Whatever your trigger, it's time to recognize it in yourself and those around you and start the journey to recovery. It's scary letting go and giving your body the place in which to heal but I believe it will not come from outside, in the shape of a pill or a secret sauce. Those things can be aids, but the power is in you.
​Let's 
watch it work.

Do I need Massage or BCST?

What tells a flower to bud, a wound to heal, a salamander to regrow a leg or a cell in utero to become a liver cell? This is the energy we are talking about in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST). It cannot be seen, we do not know where it comes from and we often don't "feel" it working but, undisputedly, it is there. With this work, we don't always care or need to know the why that something has happened- only that it needs to find a way back to homeostasis. Seeing that BCST works on such a deep level we can use this therapy for many ailments stretching far beyond the muscular.  On the other hand, massage remains a great treatment to reduce muscle tension, improve range of motion of joints, reduce headaches, increase focus and productivity at work, help eliminate toxins and increase the flow of blood, lymph and stool around or out of the body (to name a few).  The benefits of using these therapies together with other tools like acupuncture, psychotherapy, energy work etc is highly recommended.

 Testimonials:

Since visiting Stacey I have experienced a great relief of my chronic back pain. I am impressed with her professionalism and the overall comfort I experience in her care. -Dean

Stacey offers a calm presence, empathic listening, and an invitation to deeper awareness of what’s going on in our bodies. Her treatments leave me feeling calmer and more grounded, and have helped me to manage symptoms of anxiety and post-traumatic stress. I recommend her services both as a tool for reducing stress in the immediate and to address longer term health conditions. ​-Sarah

With having consistent BCST treatment, I have noticed many improvements. I feel less fuzzy-headed, much less pain and way less anxiety on a daily basis. Along with this, I have better sleep and an improved appetite. I feel my body slowly making its way into a better balance with increased wellness and overall disposition. Modern medicine did not meet my needs in this respect so I am ever grateful for the help Stacey continues to share with me. -Greg 


I was surprised at my first appointment to find that Biodynamic Cranial Sacral is quite a bit different from regular Cranial Sacral therapy. After several appointments over the past two years, I have found Stacey to be very perceptive and effective in her work. I’ve also enjoyed great massages.
​-Carole


​I was pleasantly surprised, and continue to be amazed at how, with a clear intention, I can go into a treatment and feel the profound effects both immediately and 
continuously for some time after. I highly recommend biodynamic craniosacral therapy for anyone looking for support while making changes to their life path and/or lifestyle. -Corry
Stacey works out of Penticton, BC and is happy to treat any age of person or condition.  Hours may vary by the season but she is in the clinic 4 days a week. Albertans are welcome and can be provided with an insurance receipt. Stacey is not a BC registered massage therapist but some companies will accept her receipts and she can certainly get you in while you wait!  
With ease,
