Laressa Dickey Bodywork

Welcome to my site! I’m Laressa Dickey, a craniosacral therapist in Stockholm working in English and lätt Svenska.

I completed my training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy from the Craniosacral Educational Trust (CTET) in London, 2017.

I’m a life-long learner and student of somatics and embodied anatomy (Body-Mind Centering, Skinner Releasing, movement improvisation, Amerta).

I’m an empathetic listener who is skilled at holding healing space for chronic pain, trauma, and blocked creativity.

I’m also a practicing artist, writer, and performer, currently an MA Candidate in New Performative Practices, UniArts, Stockholm. Originally from the US, I’ve been living abroad since 2010.

It is a gentle, hands-on therapy that comes from the Osteopathic tradition (via Andrew Taylor Still and William Sutherland).

Sessions typically last one hour, and the client is fully clothed and lying prone on a massage table. As a therapist, I am trained to work with the subtle fluctuations of the Craniosacral fluid rhythms of the brain and spinal cord to support re-balancing, relaxation, as well as the innate health available to all of us.  Sutherland called this the “Breath of Life.”

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy might be for you if…

• You understand that if you are healthy and relaxed, this benefits you as well as your family, your community, and the planet.
• You understand the need to make time just for yourself, and you want to work with someone who will hold a healing space just for you.
• You want to cultivate more embodied awareness and connect to your own innate health. 
• You want to support your body’s immune and relaxation responses.
• You want support to move forward into your life with renewed energy. 
• You want more access to your creativity and imagination.
• You want a gentle “restart” after an injury or after a long time of chronic pain. 
• You are ready to listen to the messages your body is sending.
