Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a soothing, nervous-system focused treatment. During a Craniosacral session, you'll lie on a massage table while Lisa uses a light and gentle hand contact to tune into your body from head to toe. She then works at the areas that your body highlights with the intention to release restrictions and help shift your body into its natural "self-repair mode."
People often say they find these sessions deeply relaxing, sometimes on a different level and feel than massage due to its focus on different systems in the body. There is very little pressure used. Craniosacral may also help with stress, support your nervous system health, and reduce pain. As Lisa Matthews is an RMT, these sessions are typically covered under RMT benefits if this modality is indicated, as Craniosacral is within our scope of practice.
Lisa Matthews has been a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist since 2017, a Registered Massage Therapist since 2024, and has a background as a Registered Nurse. Due to an injury, Lisa is temporarily pausing her massage-style sesssion and has opened addition Craniosacral appointments during this time. *Please note: Lisa is not accepting ICBC or WCB cases.
