About me
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet profound non-invasive, hands-on treatment for the whole body. Performed on a massage table, the client is fully clothed and the touch is generally light and still. The treatment is focused on supporting the always-present health of the person in a safe and supported environment. This combination invites the intelligence of the client's own nervous system into healing.
Elmer offers a speciality of healing and integrating birth experience which is applicable to adults healing early life imprints as well as mothers, fathers and babies where he works to support the bonds between the family members. Tools of Breathwork, Pre and Perinatal Psychology as well as Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy are used in this approach.
