Sacred Touch
biodynamic craniosacral work
“follow your bliss.”
This profound guidance from mythologist Joseph Campbell has been a guiding light in my life, especially since my husband, Matthew, began gently reminding me of my own inner wisdom over twenty years ago. Following my bliss led me to discover Biodynamic Craniosacral Work—what I now call Sacred Touch—and it has transformed my life. Through this practice, I found my true essence in embodied love and connection to my natural being. It was love at first contact, and my passion for this work continues to deepen.
In Sacred Touch work we orient to the biodynamic fields which form the body, heal the body, and express vitality in the movement of cerebrospinal fluid circulation. We abide in stillness as a grounding principle to serve the body’s expression.
Unlike traditional methods, Sacred Touch does not rely on assessment or manipulation. Instead, it honors the body’s innate wisdom, allowing it to restore itself to wholeness through compassionate, hands-on contact. The body is recognized as a sacred vessel of love.
Cranial enfoldments are viewed in this work as expressions of embodied consciousness, guided by the same forces that shape early development and support transformation. Sacred Touch follows the lineage of Cranial Osteopathy, founded by Dr. William Garner Sutherland, inviting both the practitioner and client to rest in stillness and "unknowing," allowing deeper levels of being to emerge. This practice has the potential to awaken us to the divine love that forms and nurtures our bodies.
Abide in Love and it Becomes Flesh
I truly sense Love in this work. Everything about Sacred Touch comes from love, and I let Love guide me in every session. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love this practice and the deep love I feel for each person who lays on my table. The sense of sacred reverence I hold for each person is unlike anything I have experienced in any other work.
Through this practice, I’ve come to understand the deep respect some cultures show by kissing their Guru’s feet. I feel that same reverence for this work. It makes sense now why I had to wait so long to find what I truly love. My life has blossomed and been deeply nourished by Sacred Touch, and I feel like a better being because of it. Each session leaves me humbled and overjoyed by the divine manifestation of life.
My teacher Charles Ridley describes so eloquently about being Love.
“Once your body opens to its natural state as a Sacred Pulse of Love, the deep, pure presence of Pure Breath of Love suffuses the cells of your flesh, and unites all thoughts, speech, emotions, gestures, consciousness, will: love becomes flesh. In enfleshment, you discover true spontaneity, and the capacity to surrender deeper into life’s continuous multiplicity, unfolding as it is - as love that creates all that is.”
I have finally found my calling, and in this work, I embody Love.
