Craniosacral therapy for SEND children
Children with special educational needs and disabilities often experience the world with heightened sensitivity. Their nervous systems work hard, sometimes staying stuck in a state of alert or overwhelm. Craniosacral therapy offers a quiet, undemanding kind of support — a place where there is nothing to perform and nothing to get right.

How it helps
A different kind of change, one that begins with safety.
Calm
Settle sensory overwhelm
Sessions help an over-stretched nervous system downshift, which can bring a visible softening in children who are often 'wound up'.
Regulate
Support emotional regulation
A more settled baseline can make meltdowns less frequent and recovery quicker.
Ease
Release held tension
Children who hold their bodies tightly — in the jaw, hands or pelvis — often release this gently during and after treatment.

What to expect
Gentle, fully clothed, and led entirely by you.
There is no requirement to lie still or follow instructions. Children can move, play or be held by a parent throughout. The work meets your child exactly where they are, and sessions are paced around their comfort. Parents are welcome and encouraged to stay close.
