Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a holistic treatment which works on a subtle yet profound level to support the body's innate ability to heal. It calms the nervous system, helps release restrictions in muscles, fascia and bones, and supports the release of emotional tension held in the body, promoting the natural flow of energy.
With a calm presence, the practitioner uses an exceptionally light touch and tunes into the subtle rhythmic motions of the body. The treatment encourages the self-healing process, allowing the body to unwind naturally into balance and vitality. After a treatment people often feel a deep sense of peace and relaxation.
You will remain fully clothed for treatment and it’s usual to lie down on a couch but CST can be adapted to any restful position.

I have loved and taught contact improvisation and somatic moment practices for over 20 years. It has felt like a natural evolution to train in craniosacral therapy as touch and deep listening are inherent to them all, and it is from this place of embodiment and awareness that I feel true healing can occur. It is a privilege to work with people in this way. Creating a safe, intimate space where someone can let go of the constraints they hold in their system, so they can feel more present and free and alive in their bodies.

In Shiatsu we use gentle pressure, stretches, holding, joint mobilisations and rocking. In this way, Shiatsu is a little like massage. However, Shiatsu also works with the energetic condition of the body helping to re-energise weak areas, relax the tension and bring harmony to body and mind.
This means that your body can transform physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically, helping you change patterns that make you feel ill, stiff or stuck.

I have known my work is about bodies since my early 20's when I trained to become a physical theatre performer. Since having a family, that work of the body turned to bodywork, I love connecting with people in this way supporting them to land more in their own bodies.

Thai yoga massage is based on the concept of invisible energy lines running through the body. It combines acupressure, energy balancing, stretching and applied yoga exercises. This treatment addresses the whole body, balancing and deeply relaxing joints and muscles, improving flexibility and range of motion.
Thai yoga massage is performed on a mat on the floor, using no oils and wearing loose, comfortable clothes.
It is a unique and powerful massage therapy and is regarded as a spiritual practice.
I perform both massages as a meditation in movement, using mindful touch, being fully present with my clients and offering from the heart.

Originally from Spain, with a degree in medical studies, Soledad moved to London to pursue a career in contemporary dance. Deeply interested in movement, healing and studying spiritual practices she came across Thai massage. She received a very powerful treatment which had a deep positive impact on her body and well-being. After that experience, she fell in love with Thai massage and went on to train at the Sunshine School in Thailand. She’s been practising ever since, combining her love for Thai massage with her dance and yoga offerings.
