Alyssa welcomes Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist Lucille Rayner to the show to explain exactly what biodynamic craniosacral therapy is and how it works. Lucille also calls it Trauma Resolution Bodywork Therapy and she shares the healing benefits it provides. Lucille describes the path that led her to biodynamic craniosacral therapy and how the very first time she experienced it, she felt her body rushing towards the therapist in response to the work being done. Lucille details a bit of the science behind the fascia, the connective tissue of communication along the spine, and how the nervous system and blood flow work with this modality. But the true appeal is in the sense of openness, spaciousness, and integration with healing that occurs through the therapy. Traumas of any kind are connected and can be carried in the physical body. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a non-manipulative, calming, and orienting modality that can help regulate pain and change your relationship with how your body holds stress and experiences.
