A leading hands on and relational therapy for the body and mind

What I Do
I hold space for the client in a relational field, using my hands and presence to listen and tune in to the deeper fluid and rhythmic motions of a client’s system. I work viscerally from the heart, keeping an awareness of the whole of a person’s being, noticing areas of trauma, stasis and inertia. I listen to the inherent health available and, working within the client’s capacity, invite their system to regulate through stillness, using internal resources to assist them into a deeper ‘being’ state of homeostasis.

MY SERVICES
What to expect in a session
There will be an initial consultation wherein I take some details of your medical history, ask a series of questions so as to get to know you a little better, to find out why you have come to me and what you are wanting/needing from the sessions. Then, most likely, you will be asked to lie on a couch, remaining fully clothed. If lying down is difficult, alternative ways of treatment can be arranged. Hands will be placed gently on different areas of the body, only with consent, and there may be some dialogue between practitioner and client either before, during or after session. Clients may experience a deep sense of relaxation or a ‘lightness of being’ during session, there may be physical and/or an emotional release

Customer Review
EXCELLENT Based on 11 reviews Posted on Charlotte Bennellick-PalmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot rate or recommend Victoria more highly! She worked absolute wonders with my son who was suffering with crippling and continual migraines and tension and holding onto so much internal stress. Victoria managed to release whatever was causing his tension and migraines and he has never looked back since. I cannot explain how or why, but Victoria worked some magic. It was such a relief to find Victoria. She released all his tension, restored his calm and intrinsically confident and happier boy, as a result. Victoria kickstarted our son’s post school based trauma recovery and we can’t thank her enough.Posted on Oscar Lindsey-TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Victoria offers a warm, welcoming space, no matter who you are. As someone who had never experienced this kind of therapy before, I felt genuinely safe and respected throughout the process. The practice allowed me to access deep parts of myself that went beyond words. Victoria was intuitive and flexible, and our sessions included space to talk through things that were worrying me, while also focusing on energy work and learning techniques to manage anxiety. I would highly recommend Cranio with Victoria. The space she holds is so needed—especially if, like me, you’ve found talking therapies to offer only one dimension when navigating life’s challenges. Cranio helped me through a particularly difficult time and allowed emotions to move through my body in a way that had a lasting, positive impact on my mental health.Posted on Ian HuttonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have practised yoga with Victoria for almost 10 years, receiving one-on-one tuition in person and via Zoom, and I can highly recommend her to yoga students of all levels. Victoria tailors her classes carefully to an individual student’s needs and abilities allowing the student to challenge themselves and receive the most from each class.Posted on Laura ColemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Victoria is an incredible therapist. Kind, thoughtful and very patient.Posted on Vicki SampieriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been receiving CST for over 20years now. I have had several treatments with Victoria and each time I have felt rebalanced and reconnected to my body. Victoria takes time to really listen to what you have to say and what your body is trying to communicate. She is an exceptionally talented bodywork, has solid knowledge of the body's physiology and anatomy and holds a calm and safe space. If you are considering craniosacral therapy, I couldn't recommend her more highly.Posted on Antony CollierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Victoria is Amazing. This is my first introduction to Cranio to deal with various issues, both physical and emotional. It absolutely works for me and I am still on the journey with Victoria. I can highly recommend this treatment and Victoria.Posted on Beatrix BlissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Victoria’s holding feels safe, intuitive and rich. She draws from her years of experience as a yoga teacher, massage therapist and musician, and therefore the craniosacral therapy that she offers feels deep and dynamic. I would highly recommend her for this work.Posted on C FuestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a few treatments with Victoria and I always come away feeling refreshed and better and somehow lighter in body and mind. Her gentle presence, always grounded and real and with a lovely light sense of humour makes everything possible. Thank you!Posted on Saffron McCaughnaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have really benefitted from my sessions with Victoria,she holds a very deep space and has a lovely presence ❤️Posted on Jill GabraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of receiving craniosacral therapy from Victoria, and she is truly a lovely and caring therapist. I was struggling with back pain and sciatica nerve pain, and after just a couple of weeks of starting sessions with her, I felt a big relief. Her gentle and professional approach made me feel comfortable and supported. I’m so grateful for the improvement in my pain and highly recommend her to anyone looking for natural and effective healing.
