​I first experienced Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) as client and was amazed at the profound effect it had on my wellbeing and in the part it played in healing a broken neck incurred in a cycling crash. BCST so deeply resonated with me that I wanted to deepen my understanding of this holistic therapy by training with Body Intelligence. I have been drawn to exploring meditation, the healing arts and embodiment practices for over thirty years. While I have walked many different paths in life, I found my passion with BCST and support my practice through Qigong and meditation.
