Burn out? Tired? Chronic pain? Tensed jaw? Headaches? Anxiety? The Role of the Nervous System in Physical and Mental Health
We often think of stress as something happening in the mind — racing thoughts, worry, or emotional overwhelm.
But modern neuroscience and somatic therapy reveal something deeper:
Stress is not just mental — it is physiological, lived and stored in the body.
Understanding the nervous system is key to improving both mental health and physical wellbeing. When we learn how the body responds to stress, we can begin to work with it rather than against it.
Tinnitus, the Body & the Nervous System: How Craniosacral Therapy Can Help
Tinnitus can feel like a quiet intruder — a ringing, buzzing or humming that seems to come from nowhere, yet follows you everywhere. For many people, it brings frustration, stress, and a sense of being out of control.

There are two main types of tinnitus:
otologic tinnitus (originating from the ear) and
somatosensory tinnitus (originating from the body).
Understanding the difference brings clarity, direction, and a sense of empowerment.
