About Me
I am a biodynamic craniosacral therapist and member of the Craniosacral Therapy Association.
My practice follows a 15-year career influencing government policy and helping charities increase their impact. My work was rewarding but high-pressure and my body began to show me the signs of chronic stress. The gentle support of a craniosacral therapist calmed my nervous system and reconnected me with my whole being, and the source of life itself. This led to my decision to train as a biodynamic craniosacral therapist.
I care deeply about helping people to heal themselves by accessing their inner vitality. I support my practice by resourcing myself through meditation, spending time in nature, playing music and curling up with a good book.

What happens in a session
Sessions usually last for 45 minutes and the first appointment will include a written case history – where we talk about why you have come and your health history. When you arrive for the session, we will have a brief checking-in conversation before I invite you to take your shoes off and lie or sit full-clothed on the treatment couch. During the session, I will make gentle contact with my hands on your head, feet, base of spine and other areas.
Sessions are mostly quiet, but I will check in with you and encourage you to speak about what you may be experiencing. This could be physical sensations like heat, tingling, pulsation, releasing and subtle movement; feelings and emotions like relaxation, aliveness or stillness; and images or colours. I will gently draw the session to a close, letting you know that this is happening and making sure there is time for you to transition into the next part of your day.

Sessions
I work in Nottingham from the Magnolia Therapy Centre in Sherwood and the Bay Therapy Centre in West Bridgford.
Before the session we will talk about what brings you to craniosacral therapy. During the session, you will sit or lie on the treatment couch, fully clothed. I will place my hands gently on your body in different positions, often at the head, along the spine and feet.
You may become aware of sensations such as heat, tingling, pulsation and subtle movements as changes occur, and of a sense of deep relaxation, calm and stillness. These feelings may continue after the session itself.

I offer a warm, safe and empathetic space in whcih to listen to your needs. I ask about your health and the reason for your visit. You are invited to sit or lie on the treatment couch, fully clothed, and I will place my hands gently on your body in different positions. Because the body functions as a whole, I may focus on other areas than where your symptoms occur. Through deep presence and relational touch I am able to identify the tensions held in your body and work with these patterns to support you to reconnect with your deeper shource of health. My skill is to support and guide you on your journey to process and integrate the material that revelas itself in the sessions whilst honouring the need to go at your own pace.
How CST works
At the heart of biodynamic craniosacral therapy is an understanding that our bodies know how to heal, and that this healing wisdom is imprinted in every cell in our body. Every cell is part of a greater, interconnected whole. When a skilled practitioner uses delicate touch and embodied presence to listen to what is happening within you it creates a resonance between the practitioner and client. There is a sense of real connection. This deep listening and connection helps us to access our innate healing wisdom, and is why people may feel deeply heard during craniosacral therapy.
There are many research studies and resources available about craniosacral therapy. A good place to start is the Craniosacral Therapy Association’s resources page.

I have found Craniosacral therapy with Ellie to be a deeply relaxing experience. I felt listened to and supported by Ellie. The treatment sessions helped to relieve my stress and were a much-needed opportunity to recharge and rebalance both physically, mentally and emotionally. Craniosacral therapy is a profound experience and I would highly recommend it in Ellie’s safe hands.
Pat
I suffer with intermittent musculoskeletal pain and have visited Ellie on a number of occasions for craniosacral therapy. Ellie is a dedicated and compassionate professional who creates a calm and trusting environment in which to receive treatment. I am always totally impressed with her ability to identify and focus in on the areas of my body most in need of attention and always with excellent results. Not only does it provide effective pain relief, but I leave every session feeling relaxed, restored and rebalanced. I cannot recommend her or this treatment highly enough.
Rachel
Sometimes I feel like I’m pretending not to feel overwhelmed. My work can be so stressful that I get physical signs of stress like chest pains. I also have a long-standing issue with my jaw not opening fully due to tension. Craniosacral therapy with Ellie has helped. My chest pains have eased and I can now open my jaw almost fully. I feel very supported and listened to in treatments with Ellie who is highly professional.
