I offer Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, which is a gentle, light-touch therapy designed to
enhance your body’s extraordinary ability to increase, improve, and maintain its health.
My clinic is conveniently located on the beautiful Kapiti Coast in Wellington, New Zealand.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, consequently, allows your body to release tension, repair injury, and restore resilience.
It also facilitates a process where your body can naturally rejuvenate and regain balance.
I work diligently to improve the health of individuals across all age groups, including babies, children, adults,
and older individuals. Specifically, my approach is tailored to address the unique needs of each age group, ensuring
comprehensive and effective care.
Biodynamic Crainosacral Therapy
Our body, through the nervous system, regulates our unconscious processes like our breathing, body
temperature and heart rate among other things. Life experience, injury, illness, and trauma impact
our nervous system and these processes.
This can shift our nervous system into a state known as fight or flight. As a result we can experience stress,
pain, low energy, poor health, and emotional distress.
Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy aims to facilitate a change in the nervous system away from fight and flight
and into the rest and digest state and the ever present health within the body. This allows your body to release
tension, integrate experience, repair injury, and restore resilience. To enable you, or your loved one to experience
better health and wellbeing.
About Me
Kate Graham PACT Registered
Licensed Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist
I began to wonder about how our life experience impacted our sense of our body, and the way our body responded to treatment. This led me to Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, a gentle hands on holistic treatment. I completed my training with the “Body Intelligence” school in 2017.
My journey with health and wellness began in 2002 when I started teaching Pilates. I was fascinated by the relationship people had with their body and how that influenced healing and health.

Testimonials
It is such a relief to be free of my migraines and to feel relaxed, calm and happy.”
with her have worked wonders”
It has been life-enhancing for me”
I see Kate for treatment every six weeks. Each session is a different experience. In my early treatments, I remember hearing myself snore. Occasionally I felt that I wouldn’t be able to relax enough for something to happen and other times my body felt jiggly with excitement. Whatever I felt on arrival Kate helps me relax and settle into the session. Kate’s gentle enquiries have helped me recognise imbalances in my body and verbalise experiences. Kate is a superb practitioner. She is well-trained, sensitive and responsive. I always feel accepted by her
History of Biodynamic Crainosacral Therapy
U.S. Osteopath William Garner Sutherland first recognised craniosacral motions, the rhythmic contraction and
expansion within the body and their relationship to health in the early 1900’s. He continued to study and develop
ways to work with the cranial system and for over fifty years trained Osteopaths in this method.
In the 1970’s an American Osteopath Dr John Upledger started to teach what he called Craniosacral Therapy.
His work continues to be taught worldwide by the Upledger Institute.
Dr Franklin Sills further developed cranial work and created the Karuna Institute in Devon England in 1982.
He began teaching cranial work to non-osteopaths, along with his wife Maura Sills and Dr Claire Dolby.
Their work has created a number of schools in the UK, USA, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, India, New Zealand and Australia.
Today’s trainings and practices continue to grow throughout the world. Consequently, practitioner organisations have been developed around the world. In Europe the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Assn (BCSTA) is the main accrediting body. The UK is covered by the
Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust (CTET), and America has the Affiliation of Biodynamic Trainings (IABT). The Pacific Association
of Craniosacral Therapists (PACT) covers Asia and the Pacific.
These organisations encourage the development of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, and ensure schools’
professional standards are maintained and therefore the graduate therapists are fully qualified.
