Nora’s relationship with Cranio Sacral Therapy (CST) began long before she trained as a therapist herself.

She had been receiving cranio sacral treatments for more than 17 years before eventually feeling the urge to study the art herself and be able to offer some of that goodness back to the world.

For many years, Nora ran her own joinery business in the Valley. It was physically and mentally demanding work, and she came to rely on cranio sacral treatments as part of keeping her body and mind in good working order.

Her first encounter with CST followed a pulled intercostal muscle, but she soon began to notice benefits that went beyond the original injury. Treatments became part of her own wellbeing routine, helping her manage the physical demands of joinery, the pressures of running a business and periods of stress.

That longstanding personal relationship with CST has given Nora a lived understanding of how closely our physical and emotional wellbeing can be connected.

It also explains why she particularly enjoys working with tradespeople and others whose work places significant demands on their bodies. She understands first-hand that an injury rarely exists in isolation from the person, their work and everything else going on in their life.

Nora continues to develop her practice with a varied range of clients, from people seeking help following physical injury to those experiencing more complex emotional or nervous-system-related difficulties.

And outside the treatment room?

Nora likes all things earthy: good food, woodwork, gardening, lying down and (obviously) Earth. Nora has an outlook of animism – the belief that everything is alive and has agency, and that we are better off including all beings in our network.
