CST Manitoba

Finally, Manitobans have access to Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. In Manitoba, craniosacral therapy is commonly offered as an add-on to a massage. However, Manitobans can experience, for the first time, the a deeply therapeutic approach of specialized Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, (BCST) sessions.

BCST is a gentle, hands-on therapy that supports your body’s natural ability to heal. What makes it different from other forms of craniosacral therapy—often called biomechanical—is that it works with the body, not on it. Rather than using techniques to “fix” or adjust the body from the outside, BCST listens to your system and supports its unique, inherent treatment plan.

A fully trained BCST practitioner has completed multiple years of intensive study—not only in anatomy and physiology, but also in the art of presence, attunement, and trauma-informed care. This depth of training allows us to hold space for complex healing processes and to meet each client exactly where they are, without pushing or fixing.

BCST creates a quiet, grounded space where your body can begin to release old patterns and reconnect with a deep sense of ease and wholeness. BCST is especially beneficial for calming the nervous system, supporting emotional processing, and enhancing greater embodiment. At the same time, BCST can be highly effective in relieving physical discomfort. Clients often experience improvement with:

• Musculoskeletal tension and postural imbalances

• Chronic pain conditions

• Migraines and headaches

• TMJ (jaw) dysfunction

• Concussions and head injuries

• Sleep disturbances and fatigue

• Digestive and hormonal imbalances

BCST also offers gentle, nurturing support throughout the pregnancy journey, from conception through the postpartum period. During pregnancy, sessions can help regulate the nervous system, ease physical discomforts such as back or pelvic pain, and create space for emotional grounding and connection with the baby.

For newborns and infants, the work is equally supportive. Gentle and intuitive, sessions help to resolve birth-related strain, support feeding and digestion, improve sleep, and foster healthy nervous system development and bonding.

Because BCST works with the whole system—body, mind, and spirit—it’s especially well-suited for those navigating the effects of trauma, illness, or prolonged stress. Many clients describe feeling more grounded, clear, and resilient after sessions, with a growing sense of connection to their body’s wisdom.

"Karen is an outstanding practitioner who has helped me enormously both physically and emotionally. Her cranial sacral work was particularly effective and Karen took the time needed to talk through and understand my unique issues. I would whole heartily recommend Karen for any treatment offered. She is extremely skilled and intuitive whilst continually adding to her repertoire by learning additional techniques."
