Elmer Postle
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 health of the whole being, especially the nervous system.
Elmer offers a speciality of pregnancy, mother and baby work where he works to support the mother, baby, father bond. This work can be useful where infants and children are struggling with their parents in integrating their early experiences.
