What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a holistic treatment that respects the body’s natural wisdom and capacity for self-repair.

This therapy focuses on supporting the health of the whole person, especially the nervous system, which must be in balance for the body to express full health.

Using subtle, non-invasive touch, I engage with the body’s craniosacral rhythms to support your nervous system’s regulation and alleviate conditions resulting from stress, trauma, and physical discomfort.

The roots of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

With a history dating back over a century, Craniosacral Therapy has evolved into a refined healing art. Originating from the pioneering work of Osteopath Dr. William Garner Sutherland in the late 1800s, his foundation of the “Cranial Concept” planted the seeds for today’s practice of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

By taking Sutherland’s original concepts and advancing them through ongoing research and clinical experience, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy now offers a subtle yet powerful way of supporting health and wellbeing.

This therapy stands on the shoulders of its 19th century origins while continuing to grow as both an art and science.

How Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Works

This therapy is grounded in the understanding that your body possesses an inherent wisdom that knows how to heal itself. By tuning into this wisdom, I can identify and ease restrictions in the body, enhancing your overall well-being.

It’s a process that not only addresses physical ailments but also touches on emotional and psychological aspects, promoting deep relaxation and healing.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy FAQ

What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and how can it help me?

BCST is an advanced therapy that combines a Western scientific understanding of the body with mindfulness skills. Practitioners use an informed, gentle, non-invasive touch to engage with the expressions of the health in the system. This light and reverential touch supports nervous system regulation and allows the resolution of conditions resulting from stress and trauma. This allows the brain to switch from fight or flight to rest and repair.

What can I expect during my first Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy session?

I will inquire about your health history and current concerns before inviting you to sit or lie fully clothed on the treatment table. I will gently make contact with your body and guide you to explore sensations. As your awareness heightens, you become able to notice unconscious tensions and deeply ingrained restrictions formed out of habit. When your brain becomes conscious of these patterns, it can then facilitate change. Clients often report noticing feelings of release, subtle movements and adjustments, temperature changes, and a profound sense of relaxation or relief.

Can Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy help with chronic pain?

With extensive training in craniosacral therapy, I help clients find relief from chronic pain. My gentle, hands-on technique deactivates the stress response to ease muscle tension. Clients often feel an initial spike in symptoms as blood flow increases, followed by gradual, lasting improvement. Through biodynamic methods, I’ve aided numerous people in avoiding invasive interventions and achieving full remission of their pain conditions. If you’re looking for drug-free pain management, I’m dedicated to guiding you towards a pain-free life.

How often should I schedule sessions to see improvements?

This depends – once a month for maintenance or successive sessions may be in order for a rehab injury, chronic pain, concussions, ect. It’s a lot to do with how the body responds, it may go from 1 time a week to once every 2 weeks to one time a month.

Voices of Transformation

Hear from those who have embarked on their healing journey with me. These stories of transformation highlight the power of holistic healing and the positive changes it can bring to your life.

After returning from the UK, I had a sciatic nerve problem. It got increasingly worse to the point where I was having troubles getting up and walking. I was going to a chiropractor and a RMT weekly which helped but always proved to be just temporary relief. After 6 weeks of this I was feeling hopeless and depressed as I felt the damage was permanent. That's when I met Lori. Lori gave me a brief description of her techniques, which were something I have never experienced before. At this point I was willing to try anything. As Lori stretched, massaged, and moved my body with fluidity as she explained to me how everything is connected. This wasn't like any other massage I've had. This truly felt like healing. When it was all over, I got off the table and felt relief. My biggest surprise came the next morning when I woke up to find my sciatic nerve pain completely gone! It has never returned, and I continue to tell this story because in my eyes it was nothing short of a miracle.

I sought Lori out when I was recovering from a major concussion. I had heard about Craniosacral Therapy from several healthcare professionals, and it was a recommended tool to aid my recovery. I was pleasantly surprised after just a couple visits with Lori, and began noticing marked improvements. My concussion symptoms were greatly reduced and I started to feel better both physically and emotionally. I continued to see Lori on a regular basis, even after my concussion-associated symptoms ceased. Craniosacral therapy has positively impacted my overall mental health and well-being. I am extremely grateful to have found Lori, who is an extremely professional and compassionate practitioner. She draws upon her wide breadth of expertise to provide a holistic experience during each session, ensuring your specific needs are met. I have, and continue to recommend Lori to all my friends and family!

I have been seeing Lori for Craniosacral Therapy for about 7 years. In my first session, I felt my hip and pelvis move back into place. After that I was hooked. I have Craniosacral done once a month now, unfortunately Lori is in Invermere and I live in Central Alberta, so I only get to experience Lori’s sessions twice a year. She is an amazing healer.

Lori Bru has been my natural health practitioner for over 20 years. Her approach to treatment is intuitive and skilled. Lori has helped me with chronic acute pain,headaches and anxiety among other symptoms. Her therapeutic treatments are amazing and I always come away feeling calm, relaxed and more grounded. Lori has provided me with take-home self-care tools to help manage my pain and anxiety which has been a life saver in managing daily stress. I highly recommend Lori Bru.

After nearly 20 years navigating chronic health mysteries, Lori's intuitive blend of craniosacral therapy and somatic listening provided the individualized healing I needed. It was the first time in a long time that I can recall how my nervous system felt regulated. Her ability to hold space and weave modalities helped peel back layers, promoting deep presence and integration. Though her list of certifications is long, it's her custom approach that sets this healer apart. I look forward to this ongoing journey of health with Lori.
