Craniosacral Therapy with Itka Andrlova with Medicine Festival

• 60min • £95 • 1-1 Session • 13 - 17 Aug

*Please note that Itka will be working in a shared space.

Itka has studied and qualified in Craniosacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute in the UK. She has an established practice in Brighton, alongside Massage therapy and Yoga teaching. Her extensive knowledge of the human body and its functions, her 12 years of experience, strong intuition, and natural healing abilities enable her to tailor treatments to each individual’s needs. She holds her clients with a strong yet loving therapeutic presence.

CranioSacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, yet profound hands-on bodywork that examines the membranes and movement of cerebrospinal fluid in and around the central nervous system which in turn affects the whole body and its systems (e.g.muscular, skeletal, digestive, respiratory, urinary, cardiovascular, endocrine etc.) The therapist palpates and determines the areas of dysfunction in the body and using a light touch enables the body to release any restrictions in the fascia, muscles, bones, organs and membranes. CST combines techniques of myofascial release, cranial osteopathy and energy healing.

CST can help with a wide range of problems including acute pain, chronic pain, migraine headache, spinal misalignment, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, facial, mouth and head trauma, tinnitus, TMJ problems, whiplash, menstrual problems, skeleto-muscular issues, trapped nerves, speech problems, slipped discs, breathing difficulties, digestive problems, autoimmune dysfunctions, Long Covid and many others.

Because CST directly works on our nervous system, deeper emotional issues and cognitive functions, stress, anxiety, insomnia and PTSD might be addressed and improved during the treatment. CST balances our autonomic nervous system and activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest), activates the vagus nerve and can induce a deep state of relaxation.

CST is thought to improve efficiency of biological processes through boosting inherent self-regulation, self-correction and self-healing. Craniosacral therapy addresses all levels of our being - the physical, energetical, mental-emotional and the spiritual level. It can improve the energy flow, release blockages in chakras, release unexpressed emotions, physical and emotional trauma, give a new direction in life situations, can help to improve interpersonal relationships and even induce an alternate state of consciousness. It’s magic!
