About me

Hello, my name is Flora Wellesley Wesley. I’m glad you’re here and hope you enjoy exploring this site and learning more about craniosacral therapy.

I discovered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy 11 years ago and appreciated it so much I decided to become a practitioner. From early on I was struck by the extraordinary and frankly ineffable nature of this therapy. Being met with a compassionate, neutral touch that didn’t ask for anything back was revelatory for me.

Craniosacral therapy has supported me on a journey of recovery from traumatic accidents, injuries, and depression, and led to many unexpected and treasured discoveries about myself. It provided me with experiences of peace when I was hurting - serene moments of restorative rest that felt otherwise out of reach during challenging periods of my life. This therapy has stoked my sense of awe for our amazing bodies and their brilliant, salutary poetry. It has taught me a tremendous amount about presence, compassion and equanimity, and greatly enriched my life.

I qualified as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist in 2023 and continue to be deeply moved by mine and others’ life-affirming experiences of being held, heard and liberated by touch. I am particularly interested in supporting people to develop their own embodied intuition and internal safety/resources. Becoming a hands on therapist has felt like a natural and creative development of my work as a dancer and improviser, and I am excited to see where it takes me.

I work with people of all ages, ethnicities, nationalities, gender identities and expressions, and sexual orientations. I am registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council, the UK Craniosacral Therapy Association and the International Cranial Association. I adhere to their codes of ethics and am insured by Holistic Insurance Services.
