Craniosacral Practice
Shannon Cooney, Craniosacral Practitioner
Craniosacral is a non-invasive, hands-on bodywork/inner movement awareness practice. Its aim is to encourage the vital movement of the Craniosacral system to support one's self-regulating healing capacity. Shannon has been studying and practicing this hands-on modality since 1995 and since 2009 has created a hybrid practice Dynamic Expansion which incorporates this inner movement into dance and outer movement.

Aus juristischen Gründen weisen wir darauf hin das aller hier aufgeführten Indikationen lediglich beispielhaft sind und stellen kein Heilsversprechen dar. Im
For legal reasons, one must would like to point out that all indications listed here are only exemplary and do not represent a promise of cure.
“This Craniosacral Rhythm, the tidal change in the fluids, moves the bones of the head and the sacrum,” Robert Harris [RMT Craniosacral Therapist and teacher] explains. “These natural changes in pressure cause motion to be felt through the whole body, with slight toning and relaxing, as these fluid pressures expand and relax.” Craniosacral Therapists believe that this rhythmical system is as crucial to health as the breath and the heart beat. With very light contact of their hands, therapists detect this small movement as the cerebrospinal fluids rise and fall. According to Harris, it is the symmetry and ease of movement that determines health. Thus, if there is a variation to the rhythm, or if it is not symmetrical, this is an indicator to the therapist that there is a problem or a place of restriction.
Shannon's Co-creative approach integrates her study and practice of Craniosacral Therapy, professional development in movement training, energy work, expanded consciousness connected with Nature. She further incorporates body awareness and experience from her twenty+ years as a professional dancer, choreographer and teacher in contemporary dance.
