I started seeing Clare at Fluid & Bones after struggling with anxiety, backpain and headaches. Inoticed a positive shift after just the 1st session with her. The change overtime has been significant, my anxieties and pains drastically reduced and I can feel an overall sense of restored wellbeing.
Clare has a way of communicating with the body, directing attention where needed and doing it in a way that makes me feel comfortable and nourished.
She strikes a perfect balance between passion and expertise. I absolutely recommend Clare to anyone interested in healing and self care.

Headaches and migraines are common conditions that can significantly disrupt daily life. While tension headaches often present as a dull, throbbing pain caused by stress, poor posture, or eye strain, migraines can be more intense, often accompanied by nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual disturbances known as aura. Migraines are thought to be linked to changes in brain activity and can be triggered by various factors, including hormonal fluctuations, certain foods, lack of sleep, and even weather changes. Both headaches and migraines can arise from a combination of physical and environmental factors, making prevention and management essential. Craniosacral Treatment alongside lifestyle choices of proper hydration, balanced nutrition, regular exercise, and effective stress management can help reduce the frequency and severity of these debilitating conditions. Moreover, identifying personal triggers and seeking appropriate treatments can empower individuals to regain control over their well-being.
How does Craniosacral Therapy help?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can be an effective complementary approach to alleviating headaches and migraines by addressing the underlying tensions and stress within the body. This gentle, hands-on therapy focuses on releasing restrictions in the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By promoting relaxation and restoring balance in the nervous system, CST can relieve muscle tightness and improve circulation, which may help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines. Additionally, the therapy encourages better alignment and function of the cranial bones, potentially alleviating pressure points that contribute to discomfort. Many individuals find that regular sessions not only help to ease their current symptoms but also enhance their overall resilience to stress, leading to a notable reduction in headache-related issues over time.
How many sessions will I need to have?
The number of Craniosacral Therapy (CST) sessions an individual may need to alleviate migraines can vary significantly based on personal factors such as the frequency and severity of the migraines, individual responses to therapy, and the underlying causes. Many practitioners recommend starting with a series of three to six sessions over a few weeks to evaluate how the body responds to the treatment. Some individuals may experience relief after just one or two sessions, while others may benefit from ongoing sessions spaced out over several months for sustained improvement. The frequency and length of treatment can be determined by discussion with your practitioner in relation to your experience of your symptoms. Regular follow-up sessions might also be suggested to maintain the benefits and prevent future episodes.
