” Thank You and Douglas for this amazing week-end, I learned a lot, applied some techniques to my clients this morning”

Demonstration of head unwinding

What fascia unwinding will do for your clients and amazing Fascia unwinding can indeed be approached as an active form of meditation. Meditation is a practice that involves focusing the mind and cultivating a state of present-moment awareness. It can be done in various ways, and fascia unwinding can serve as a unique and engaging form of active meditation.

During a fascia unwinding session, the practitioner or individual actively engages with their body and the sensations that arise.

The gentle movements that their system will do naturally when they are engaged will allow their mind, to stop thinking and the movements will distract them from being in their cycle of thoughts.

Here are some aspects of fascia unwinding that align with the principles of active meditation:

1. Body awareness: Fascia unwinding encourages individuals to tune into their body’s sensations, such as tightness, warmth, or subtle shifts. This heightened body awareness brings attention to the present moment and helps anchor the mind in the physical experience. For the body this can be used for trauma, frozen shoulders, injuries once they are healed, to allow the fascia to let go of holding on, emotional and mental blocks and energetic toxic release. Somato Emotional Release of possible feelings and emotions trapped in an area of the body, joints, from childhood. Amazing on baby’s trauma and on children with anxiety.

2. Focused attention: During fascia unwinding, practitioners often concentrate on specific areas of the body, observing the sensations and changes that occur. This focused attention on the physical sensations can help still the mind and cultivate a state of mindfulness.

3. Breath awareness: Conscious breathing is a fundamental aspect of many meditation practices. In fascia unwinding, individuals are often encouraged to engage in deep, mindful breathing, which can enhance relaxation, promote body-mind connection, and support the unwinding process.

4. Non-judgmental observation: In active meditation, the practice involves observing experiences without judgment or attachment. Similarly, during fascia unwinding, individuals are encouraged to observe sensations, emotions, and thoughts that arise without labelling them as good or bad.

This non-judgmental attitude fosters acceptance and cultivates a sense of presence.

5. Release of tension: As fascia unwinding helps release physical tension and restrictions in the body, it can also contribute to the release of mental and emotional tension. By actively engaging in the unwinding process, individuals may experience a sense of letting go, relaxation, and a clearer state of mind.

Engaging in fascia unwinding as an active meditation practice can provide numerous benefits. It allows individuals to cultivate a deeper connection with their bodies, release stress and tension, and promote overall well-being.

Overall, fascia unwinding can serve as an engaging and beneficial active meditation practice, providing an avenue for cultivating mindfulness, body awareness, and emotional support.

Douglas Hutchings bio: BSc (Psychology)/ BPHED (Physical Ed & Management)Craniosacral therapist (15 years experience)— CCST (College of craniosacral therapy, London) Bowen technique (13 years experience) Founder of BodyInMind -Holistic therapies, retreats & healing/meditation workshops .Douglas’s background in psychology (BSc) and sports science (BPHED) laid the foundation for continued study in the field of complementary medicine, which truly links science and anatomy with the spirit/soul.​ The philosophy of BodyInMind integrates hands-on bodywork, energy medicine and deep listening to provide a catalyst for profound transformation of body, mind and soul.The core principal of Douglas”s work is that EVERYTHING is connected.  And when we connect the dots and let go of our limiting patterns/beliefs and trauma in the mind and body, we can really see ourselves and the world/universe in a completely different way to bring forth change and unrealized potential!​ After having a near fatal fall from 40-50ft in 2007, experiencing 24hours in critical condition and Doctor’s frantically trying to bring his body back to life, he passed over ‘to the other side’ and experienced a completely different reality, one where nothing was separate- all was ONE and perfect as it was. He was given the choice to return to his body, to fulfill his purpose helping others realize that we are whole, connected and here to grow/evolve into our true potential of body and mind and spirit. ’

Maria Esposito BSc (Hons) bio: Working from my heart is my main way of working, which opens up the heart of everyone I work with! I work with a sound scientific background with the healing and spiritual intuition within all my sessions, from nutritional NAET working with allergies, over-reaction to food, hay-fever and more, to craniosacral therapy for babies and mothers trauma, colic and more, adult trauma, COVID 19 tiredness and feeling out of space, to empowering my clients with Neuro Linguistic programming, Mindfulness meditation exercises (becoming present in your life at all times)!Mostly I connect with the heart of babies and people, to find the best solution for their problem, if my therapies are not enough then I will suggest what they can try! I know for the scientific background that our brain is capable of healing ourselves, and this is the greatest gift of being human, finding one of the possible solutions for the person coming into my sessions, is part of that!

Without movement, there is no growth

Without love, there is no peace

Without awareness, there is no true path

Without light, there is only darkness

Without peace, there is no healing

Without Earth, there is no human

Without soul, there is only physical body and no humanity

Without forgiveness, there is no peace

Without opening our mind, there is no awareness

When we open our eyes, mind, ears and heart and speak our truth to ourselves and others, there is understanding, awareness, forgiveness, peace and an INFINITE AMOUNT OF LOVE. Ariami Marpisa 08/11/2018

Dealing with trauma tools for Craniosacral therapists

Online workshop on “Dealing with trauma tools”. 6 Hours CPD 26/11/23 from 9.15am till 4.30pm

Often through craniosacral therapy session, people will bring up some childhood trauma. As a craniosacral therapist, you need to be able to hold the space, and also to make sure that the emotion that arise from that trauma are dealt in a gentle way for yourself and your client. Teaching also the client to be in a safe space at all time and give them tools to deal with whatever emotions come up when they are alone. The first suggestion is to ask the client if they want to be referred to another professional body. And not everybody wants to deal with that in a mental way, some wants the healing space of craniosacral therapy and they want to keep going with the therapy.

  • In dealing with the trauma, do you have enough tools for yourself to stay centered and calm, while supporting your client?
  • Do you have some simple tools to teach your client to feel safe while dealing with what is coming up?

  • What emotional and gentle tools can you give to your client?

This workshop will be online, will teach you how to stay centered and grounded while when your client comes up with a forgotten or suppressed trauma.

Meditations that you can do for yourself and teach your client, which heart-centered

NLP tools with timeline to deal with the emotions attached to the trauma in a safe space for the client.

Discussion of other possible way of helping your client through a challenges time if trauma arise, and a list of possible people you can suggest if they choose to see a more conventional therapist for trauma.

Embrace your inner therapist

17.09.23 from 10am till 5pm – face to face – London – 6 hours CPD

Embrace your inner therapist, look after yourself as a therapist, checking, clearing and healing yourself as a therapist, is different from clearing the space your work in. It is essential that as a therapist, especially working as a craniosacral therapist, which deals with the physical, emotional and spiritual part of a person, can also look after your own issue, by checking the state you are between clients and at the end of the day, especially if you in your personal life, are going through something, or your friends, immediate family and family in general are also going through some life challenges, and naturally you are helping them to go through the challenges.

The first thing to do as a therapist, is looking after yourself!

Let go of other people challenges, emotional, mental and spiritual challenges. If you hold on to the challenges, or emotions, you end up holding on to anybody else challenges by allowing a door to stay open and accumulate all the garbage from your surronding.

If you do not let go, it is like having a garbage bin open, where everyone can damp their rubbish, with nobody taking that way or emptying it, which it means eventually it will overflow and become a mountain of rubbish that your your mind, body and soul cannot deal anymore.

  • In this workshop, we will do few meditations to notice how our entire system feels;
  • Looking at possible negative attachment to our clients or friends and separating your issue with theirs.
  • Clearing our system and filling it with positive emotions and more.
  • Grounding ourselves with more meditations.
  • Hands on sessions on each other, in checking, clearing and filling the space with positive emotions, as sometimes, we need another person perception and intuition to make us see what we cannot notice within ourselves.

This will be in London, the venue is either at N15 6HA, or at Horsey Vale community center in Crouch end, this depends on how many people will sign up.

The price is £ 90 pounds payble via bank transfer to Maria Esposito TSB code 308472 account 24603860.

Pay-pal payments is £ 95.00, click on the link below and pay 95.00. Thank you

If you would like to pay via pay-pal the price is 5 pounds more, you can email me and I will email you an invoice from pay-pal. You will get an invoice either way from me and a 6 hours CPD certificate.

Babies craniosacral therapy

What is craniosacral and what will do for your baby/child and during pregnancy

It is called craniosacral because the of the spinal fluid going from the cranium to the sacrum is what makes everything function well and properly. All the nerves and nerve transmission from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain go through there and it is all connected like a tree with branches and roots.

What the craniosacral therapist does is listening to the rhythm of that fluid and feel if there is any blockage in the body, memory cells of the tissue and the mind as well as the energetic field around that body to see if it is breathing well and properly. If there is a blockage just our training and knowledge as therapists will help the mother, baby and child unblock the blockage and re-balance the system or body function. 

With CST, what we do, is free that blockage and stabilize the rod in the centre of the body again, so that your life is back to normal, with possible few changes. Life does throw challenges at us all the time, and it is a normal way of living, it is the you deal with them and how fast you get back to the centre, that is important. So, what CST teaches you is to get back to normality quicker and stronger. 

For parents it looks like we are not doing anything and sometimes for the first session nothing changes much, it depends on how deep that trauma or wound is and how the parents as well are dealing with that. It might take two to three sessions to see the difference. I usually suggest at least the mother to have a session so that they can feel how changes occur within their body and around them as well as the baby. 

I found that CST has also a strong spiritual healing power as well. It depends on the therapist and if they have themselves experience their own spiritual healing (this is nothing to do with religion, it is something to do with your inner soul and own spirituality in the way you see it).

Memory cells – my experience with Cranio-sacral therapy was amazing. My labor and my son birth were very traumatic. My son kept having colds and coughs from the time I stopped breastfeeding at 14 months. As I did not want to give antibiotics all the time I sought for  other ways of dealing with that. Homeopathy vitamin C and nutrition helped to get rid of the colds or reduce them when he had them but he still kept having more colds and coughs that he should have had. So, I took him to cranio-sacral and it took a while (about 1 year to fully be better) as I took him to the Student clinic but they got rid of his traumatic birth and finally his colds and coughs were reduced to once a year and now not even once a year.

He can now fight the colds very easily and usually gets over anything much easier than any other child that I know.

My own experience with CS was that even after 7 years since the labour my body memory cells still retained that trauma. I had epidural so I did not feel mentally any pain, but my body did. And all that pain and trauma was still pretty stored in my tissues. Finally I got rid of it with CST and it is amazing the difference it made even to my personal life physically and emotionally.

Some of the children and babies that I treated with CST had some traumatic birth or even without a traumatic birth and what some of the issues that were reduced were:

Starting life with a great balance system is one of the huge benefits that the baby will have in coping any of the issue that life brings. Babies treated with CST have a more positive and happier attitude in life and feel more confident of their journey.

  • Breastfeeding problems
  • Frequency of throwing up the milk
  • Sleeping better and more peacefully
  • Stronger connection with mother and babies (the mother needs to be treated as well as the baby for both reflux and connection with the baby). Sometimes it takes more than 3 sessions before things starts to change.
  • Clinging babies or toddlers
  • Other problems that have been helped with my treatment of CS are:
  • Teething
  • Coughing
  • Frequent colds for the babies, toddlers and children
  • Bedwetting
  • Anxiety
  • Reduction of allergies
  • Reduced irritation, which have led to a happier and more communicative toddler.
  • Reduction and or elimination of night terror in toddlers and children in general.

Secrets of success

Success is earned, one step at a time. One of the most invaluable skills a person can have is being able to clearly express what they want. You have the courage that leads to success. As long as you’re learning, you’ll never fail. 

The most successful people don’t look back to see who’s watching.

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fail.”

—Confucius

Look for opportunities to lift others up along the way. Having the proper mindset, moving outside your comfort zone, developing and maintaining healthy relationships, and staying focused have been key drivers of success for thousands of years. 

Working with CST from 9 months to 8 years plus

This is a new workshop online on the 22nd of October 2023. 6 Hours CPD

Starts at 9.15am for registration till 4.30pm

What it will cover:

  • Tips and tools to work with babies from 9 months to 12, 12months to 3 years and children from 4 to 8 plus years
  • This will be online – How to work with the moving babies from 9 months to 12 months, some of the health that you might encounter then.
  • Walking toddlers from 12 months to 3 years, how do you approach them and what health issues you might encounter.
  • From 4 to 8 plus years, how do you work with them and some of the health issue you might encounter. 
  • This is a 6 hours CPD workshop, questions and answers as well as meditations. From my experience working with different backgrounds of toddlers and children.
Perceiving things in different way

From 9 months old babies and toddlers are very suspicious of anybody else that is not part of their circle, as a natural instinct kicks in. Working with them in craniosacral therapy can be challenging at times and rewarding at the end. From 9 months old the issues that you might encounter are different from the baby stage. They might have more of sleeping problems, attachment issues, teething, ear problems and for some they might still have a trauma from birth if they have not dealt with it earlier.

This workshop will give you some of the tips to work with them, hands on and off, depending on the stage and trust that they will have. You need to be very flexible with your way of working, to allow the babies and toddlers to tell you their story. With children from 4 years onwards is a bit different, with various issues that they will come up. This has to be a collaboration between you the parents and the children.

In this workshop there will be some mindfulness meditations, to get you as a therapist in a state of stillness, inner peace, and calm that is needed to work with moving toddlers and children!

Questions and answers throughout the workshop is allowed.

The zoom link will be emailed to you near the time of the workshop.

Price for this workshop is 75 pounds paid via bank transfer. Once you pay you are booked. I will email you a receipt and a CPD certificate once you finish.
