Balancing your natural rhythm for optimal well-being

Kim Campbell BCST

On a quantum level everything is energy and energy is everything. Energy is constantly vibrating. Therefore we are vibrational beings. Our thoughts and emotions create our signature resonance and the realities we are experiencing. Since we are vibrations and vibrations can change, then we are existing in a state of potentiality. Anything and everything is possible!

what to expect

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a unique form of gentle body work that supports the subtle movement of tissues and fluids to reorient a patient’s health.

It is a healing modality that acknowledges deep forces in the human body called Primary Respiration. Primary respiration is expressed in the body as a series of stable and palpable tidal rhythms that inform healing decisions in the body. From this rhythm of wholeness, the Cranial Sacral Therapist guides the body to reorganize unresolved physical or emotional trauma and offer the opportunity to access deeper states of relaxation and healing for the nervous system.

BCST is a healing art that works with the energies that create and maintain health in the human system. While not a manipulative therapy, it has its roots in Osteopathic Medicine and has evolved to include influences from the fields of human development, pre and perinatal psychology, trauma resolution, and recent advances in neuroscience. BCST supports nervous system regulation and allows the resolution of conditions resulting from stress and trauma. Practitioners use an educated, gentle, non-invasive touch to engage with the expressions of health in the system.

My role is to perceive the subtle rhythmic pulsations and motions that primary respiration generates, and to respond to the healing intentions of your body. During each session, I orient myself to your history, which is expressed in the dynamics of the fluids, cells, and tissues of your body. In addition, I relate clinically to patterns of trauma, distress, and illness within the context of intrinsic health. My intention is to encourage new levels of order and balance in both your mind and body.

Each session consists of a gentle listening touch, which is both diagnostic and therapeutic. You may feel deep relaxation and become aware of alterations in fluid pressures, tissue motions, heat, tingling, feeling-states, and energy movement. Tension anywhere in your body can restrict the flow of the craniosacral rhythm. Practitioners use gentle touch, often less than a nickel’s weight, to allow the system to correct itself. In the process, tension can release, allowing for positive change to occur throughout your body.

THE EMOTIONAL COMPONENT

Physical tension in the body may be connected to strong feelings. When your body relaxes, feelings can surface. Becoming aware of your emotions can be a very effective aid in relieving tension and pain, and can lead to long-lasting improvements. Your therapist understands this process.

Circulatory system: As the body relaxes, circulation improves, resulting in a host of beneficial effects. These include:

  • Increased energy

  • Reduced pain

  • Improved immune system function

  • Faster recovery from surgery

Musculoskeletal system: Craniosacral therapy provides relief for many painful musculoskeletal conditions. Even complex problems often respond well to this gentle but profound therapy, such as:

  • TMJ                                            

  • Concussions

  • Neck and Back pain

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Scoliosis

benefits

BCST can help reduce pain, decrease anxiety, improve sleep and aid recovery from injury and surgery. The gentle balancing properties of craniosacral therapy can offer relaxation, increased energy and a heightened sense of physical and emotional well-being.

Nervous system: Releasing tension that blocks the craniosacral rhythm can deeply calm the nervous system and often provide effective relief for:

  • Anxiety

  • Insomnia

  • Digestive problems

  • Trauma/PTSD

  • Grief

  • Breathing difficulties

  • Headaches

  • Injuries to the head or spinal cord 

  • Children with birth trauma, learning difficulties, chronic ear problems, or hyperactivity

testimonials

“Working with Kim was an amazing experience for me. I felt I could trust her completely as she guided me through craniosacral, inquiry, visualization, and movement. The results were impressive. I was able to release negative feelings/beliefs that I have held for decades. It’s been a real shift and they have not come back. I was surprised how deep and healing the sessions were for me. I’d strongly suggest working with Kim. She is very professional and a true healer.”

“I was experiencing acute pain from my groin around my hip to my sacrum for months. Nothing I did helped to relieve the pain. I went to Kim Campbell for Craniosacral therapy, though I knew little about it, but heard a lot of how beneficial and healing Kim’s sessions were for others.  Immediately I felt comfortable, and it was easy to allow Kim to treat me with her warm and confident way of being. I felt at ease to allow her to treat me and nearly fell asleep. I felt so safe and relaxed.  My pain was completely relieved and has never returned. I also noticed that I was more calm and present after my session, and continue to call on her when I have pain or distress. Kim is a truly gifted healer.”
