While growing up in a Northern California state park, Scott first encountered the feeling of wholeness and healing found in the rhythms of nature he could turn to when challenged by life. Scott was fortunate to meet a number of attentive, nurturing teachers in the process of his education, enthusing him with a love of learning and the desire to teach with the same quality of support he received. Now for over twenty years Scott has been a student of presence and the nature of healing.

A Craniosacral Session with Scott
Working with your breath and relaxation, Scott will help you drop into a place of greater ease and recovery, accessing your natural state of balance. From here your body's inherent ability to heal can assist you in restoring a sustained state of wholeness and wellbeing. This is what we mean by “Inherent Health”.
As the work progresses, Scott will help you find the place of inner support at your core. Your body, always working in the direction of greater balance, will learn and repattern from habits that no longer work for you.
Slowly, you will learn to sense deeper layers of tension, allowing you to open energetic flow in your body. You may then feel the effects of this flow in the balance of your daily life, and be able to access a more grounded, centered presence when faced with challenges. From this relaxed presence you will also be able to navigate through the resolution of past challenges remaining in your way. Read further about BCST and what to expect during a session.
