One of the things that attracted me to Craniosacral Therapy as a Woman, Mother and Holistic Therapist is it's effectiveness in dealing with the many natural cycles, conditions and related complications that we women go through as we journey through life.
It is also in the area of Women's Health that conventional medicine and and complementary health approaches are often found working side-by-side. When I look at the success of my CranioSacral Therapy practice to date, I notice the following:
The majority (over two-thirds) of my clients have been women.
The majority of people who make health decisions in the households tend to be the women (booking children, husbands for treatments).
While women are very happy to put enormous time and energy into looking after others (their unborn children when pregnant, baby infants, toddlers, children, Husbands/partners) - they seem to put themselves last in line when it comes to good old preventative and early treatment of many ailments.
My practice - which is driven by word of mouth primarily - comes from women talking to other women!
I guess a lot of the items above are'nt going to change anytime soon (say over the next 1000 years!) - but I feel it is important for women to learn to take better care of themselves.
Working with CranioSacral Therapy myself over the last number of years has helped me to get more in touch with my own natural health rhythm - and I have found that while many of my female clients may have come for a specific ailment - over time they start to listen more to their own body and learn just what it needs to get back to health and stay there for the long term!
