It has been 10 years!
Time flies when you enjoy what you are doing.
I remembered it like it was yesterday, writing to many organisations that would take me in to do craniosacral therapy for their members. I wrote to the Autism Association (Singapore), Breast Cancer Singapore, Kampung Senang Org, and Metta Welfare Organisation (and many others offering my services). After a waiting period of 6 months, I got a phone call from the Metta Welfare Organisation and as you can see below, the rest is history.
I began treating elderly patients recovering from strokes at the Metta Rehabilitation Centre for the Elderly. It has been an interesting journey. I started by first giving Craniosacral Therapy treatments to the staff members so that they experience the nature of the treatment that involves no manipulation, no pressure, no needles and no drugs. The treatment is gentle and safe for everyone.
My first few patients were elderly Chinese men and women who did not speak nor understand English. Unfortunately I do not speak Mandarin, there we were like ducks and chickens trying to have a conversation during treatment sessions. For several years I would work silently as I could not communicate with them. With perseverance, I began to get patients who could speak Malay (which is my mother tongue) and English. I began to get feedbacks from them on how they feel after craniosacral treatments.
They began to report that their depression got uplifted, no more headaches, reduced stiffness and pain in their legs and arms, their balance improve when walking, speech improves. One patient reported having less epileptic fits and anger issues.
The main thing they enjoyed their craniosacral sessions!
