Integrated Craniosacral Therapy
Head to Toe Cranio is about connecting with the whole person — not just isolated symptoms.
The whole person is so much more than most of us usually acknowledge. It includes everything that makes up our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self. It’s our lifestyle, family, environment, personal history, and emotions. It’s the accumulated trauma and shock held in our body from birth, childhood, and beyond. It’s the deep patterns that began in our early years and have become ingrained in who we are as we’ve grown.
Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle, safe space to reconnect and integrate — from head to toe and beyond. Through quiet, attentive engagement between practitioner and client, the body is given the opportunity to settle, feel truly safe, restore balance, and activate its natural capacity for healing.
The result is often a beautiful sense of lightness and spaciousness — allowing you to move forward and meet life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience.
The initial treatment will begin with a general chat regarding your health and wellbeing. You may share as you wish. It is helpful to bring into the field anything that may be affecting the body but ultimately, it is up to the body what it wants to address as a priority.
The treatment will follow for approximately 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for integrating and coming back to your body and presence.
Successive treatments are typically 1hr in length. A brief chat is followed by 45 minutes of treatment, ensuring sufficient time for integration.
I’m, Andree. A New Zealander based in beautiful Christchurch, passionate about helping people reconnect with their body’s natural wisdom and healing potential.
My own journey into this work began during three years of travel abroad. Away from the busyness of everyday life, I experienced first-hand the incredible energy and life force that surrounds us — something we can so easily miss when we’re constantly rushing. Through meditation, I began to feel the subtle energies flowing within and around my body. This awakening led me to train in Reiki, where the powerful attunements to Levels 1 and 2 further encouraged my curiosity to learn more and deepen my connection with universal life energy.
I was drawn to Craniosacral Therapy and spent a year studying at the College of Craniosacral Therapy in London, where I gained my Diploma. The work resonated deeply with everything I had already felt through meditation and Reiki — the body’s quiet intelligence, its natural drive to heal and find balance. The course gave me ample hands-on practical experience with a wide range of people. One of my favourite areas of study was working with birth and babies — an area I believe can be truly transformative for both infants and their families.
I’m now back home in Christchurch and beginning my practice. I offer in-person Craniosacral Therapy sessions here in the city, as well as distance sessions for anyone around the world who feels called to explore this work. Whether you’re experiencing stress, tension, or simply seeking greater ease and wellbeing, I create a safe, nurturing space for your body’s own healing intelligence to unfold.
I work with friends, family, and anyone who is open-minded and curious about what’s possible when we slow down and listen deeply. If that sounds like you, I’d love to connect.
