At first, craniosacral therapy seemed subtle. Gentle touches, quiet shifts—so delicate that I wondered if anything was truly changing. But beneath the surface, something profound was happening. 

Then, during one session, as my therapist worked on my temporal bones, I had a flashback. 

Out of nowhere, an image surfaced—I was stuck in my mother’s pelvis during birth. The pressure, the tension, the feeling of being unable to move forward. It wasn’t a memory I had consciously carried, but my body had held onto it all these years, shaping my health in ways I never understood.

And then—after that session, poof, no more migraine headaches.

Just like that. The pain that had controlled my life was gone. 

 “The body remembers—even when the mind does not.” 

In “The Body Keeps the Score”, Bessel van der Kolk explains how trauma isn’t just emotional—it’s “physical”. It lingers in the muscles, in the nervous system, in the tissues that hold our earliest experiences. He writes: 

 "Trauma changes the brain and the body. It is stored in the muscles, in the fascia, in the gut and heart. It is reenacted in ways we don’t always recognize—until we begin to release it."

And that’s exactly what craniosacral therapy did—it “unwound the past”. It released the trauma my body had carried since birth. 

I had lived with the echoes of that moment my entire life. I just never knew it. 

We often move through the world unaware of how much our bodies are holding onto. The discomfort, the chronic pain, the unexplained struggles—we treat the symptoms, but rarely do we ask, “Where did this begin?”

For me, it started before I was even born. 

If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, maybe your body is carrying “memories it hasn’t yet released”. Maybe your healing starts with listening—really listening—to what it’s been trying to say all along. 

I would love to share more about my experience. If you feel drawn to this, reach out—I’d be happy to help you explore this path to healing.
