Craniosacral therapy

Duties and responsibilities:

Practitioners aim to improve their clients’ health and well-being by listening through their hands to the body’s rhythms. The therapist places their hands lightly on the head and body and senses the qualities and movements of the connective tissue. The therapist aims to help clients to ease tension by listening to these and reflecting them back to the body with subtle responses in the level of touch.

Salary:

Most craniosacral therapists are self-employed and earn a fixed fee per treatment which can vary according to their experience and location. As a guide, a session can cost between £25 in a low-cost clinic and £70.

Education:

A professional diploma in Craniosacral Therapy and graduates are awarded the designated letters B.C.S.T. (Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist).

                                                                               

Reflection:

I wouldn’t like to work as a craniosacral therapist because I don’t feel I would enjoy it. It’s a self-employed job so you don’t really earn a lot of money. It also requires peace and patience and I’m the opposite of both.
