"Blueprint Resonance"
"We don't treat what is wrong. We treat by restoring the original perfection with which we all emanated into the material world. How we arrange distortion back to the perfection of the original is through visualisation of the original" Lee 2011

Blueprint Resonance refers to the idea that each person has a natural, healthy state or "blueprint"—essentially, their core essence. This blueprint is the body's inherent design for optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Over time, this natural state can be disrupted by trauma, stress, or conditioning, causing the body and mind to lose connection with their ideal state of well-being.
Practitioners aim to help you reconnect with this original state by tuning into the body's expression of health. The process involves gently guiding you to notice what is happening in your body. For some, this can be challenging at first, depending on how they've responded to past trauma or stress, and whether they feel safe enough to sense their body.
Once we establish a safe space within the body—a connection to the present moment—you’ll have a secure place to return to if you encounter a sensation, memory, or emotion that feels scary, uncomfortable, or painful.
Having a pleasant anchor or "resource" in the present moment is essential when working with body memory, trauma, and the autonomic nervous system. This helps keep you within your window of presence, preventing feelings of overwhelm and keeping you grounded.
The body serves as a gateway to the unconscious mind. By tuning into your body’s sensations, we can access this "back office" of sorts, allowing us to update old holding patterns and behaviors that may no longer serve you. However, the unconscious mind has no concept of time, so as you begin to access memories or survival strategies, you may encounter resistance. This resistance might present as pain, nausea, fear, anger, or other sensations and emotions designed to keep you from making changes, as the unconscious mind perceives the original reason for the adaptation as still relevant in the here and now.
At the core of this work, it's important to recognize that these adaptations—whether physical, emotional, or mental—were originally adopted as survival mechanisms. They had a positive intention: to keep you safe. Even if these patterns have become uncomfortable, painful, or harmful to your health, the unconscious mind will continue to fulfill this positive intention unless it's gently shown that the holding pattern is no longer necessary for survival.
In fact, behind these holding patterns lies the essence of who you truly are, before the need to adapt. Through gentle movement from fixation (holding patterns) to resource ( freedom, joy)—which are polarities—we encourage the body to return to a neutral state. This neutrality allows the essential self or authentic self to emerge and express itself fully, without the limitations, filters, or protective mechanisms that once kept it hidden for safety.Biodynamic Craniosacral Osteopathy
"The Cranial concept is not defined by it's regional, anatomical significance, but by it's notion of integrated motility as a whole body phenomenon based on the characteristics of the connective tissue matrix and it's bioelectric properties" - Robert Lever
This approach is grounded in the understanding that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself when given the right support and conditions.
Key Principles of Biodynamic Craniosacral Osteopathy:
Inherent Health: Practitioners believe that health is always present within the body, even in the face of illness or injury. The treatment focuses on supporting this underlying health rather than simply addressing symptoms.
Fluidity and Rhythmic Movements: In biodynamic craniosacral osteopathy, the practitioner connects with subtle movements and rhythmic flows within the body, such as the craniosacral rhythm, which is believed to reflect the health and vitality of the entire system.
Listening Rather Than Forcing: This approach does not involve any manipulations, thrusts, or forceful adjustments. Instead, the practitioner uses gentle contact to sense and support the body’s rhythms, which helps release restrictions in a natural, self-guided way.
Whole-Person Focus: The biodynamic approach looks at the individual holistically, taking into account physical, emotional, and energetic factors. By addressing the entire system, it helps to create balance not only in the body but also in the mind and emotions.
Why Choose Biodynamic Craniosacral Osteopathy Over a Structural Approach?
Gentle for Sensitive Individuals: Biodynamic craniosacral osteopathy is particularly suitable for individuals who may be sensitive to more direct manipulative techniques, such as young children, the elderly, or those with conditions that make them more vulnerable to physical adjustments.
Trauma-Informed and Non-Invasive: This approach is beneficial for those with past trauma or emotional imbalances, as it encourages healing through gentle presence and non-intrusive touch. It respects the body’s pace and comfort, which is ideal for trauma-informed care.
Suitable for Emotional and Psychological Imprints: Because it works on the physical as well as energetic and emotional levels, biodynamic craniosacral osteopathy can help release stored stress or emotional imprints from previous experiences, including birth trauma, stress, and anxiety.
Holistic Health Optimization: Rather than focusing solely on symptoms or specific areas of pain, this approach encourages the body’s natural rhythms to bring about a state of balance and wellness. This can be especially supportive for individuals seeking a holistic approach that fosters overall well-being rather than addressing isolated issues.
Support for Chronic or Systemic Conditions: Individuals with chronic or systemic health issues, where structural adjustments may be less effective, may benefit from the gentle support this approach provides. It encourages the body’s self-regulatory processes without adding additional stress or strain.
In summary, biodynamic craniosacral osteopathy offers a compassionate, holistic approach to healing that respects the body’s innate intelligence and is particularly suited for sensitive individuals, those with trauma, and people seeking whole-person wellness beyond structural alignment.
Injuries and Postural compensation patterns
Sustaining an 'insult' (shock or compression) to any part of the body such as with sports injuries or 'whiplash' injuries will leave a 'memory' in the tissues of the body. The body will then orient around that strain pattern recruiting other tissues to compensate, so that we can continue performing our tasks with as little hinderence as possible. We all have a certain amount of elasticity in our tissues for this reason.
Over time, compensatory patterns from old injuries or repetitive behaviour/posture can disrupt natural movement and alignment, leading to chronic discomfort or new areas of strain. By addressing these patterns without forceful manipulation, a biodynamic osteopath helps the body unwind these tensions gradually, allowing for sustainable, long-term healing and enhanced overall function. This method is ideal for those looking to heal not just the symptoms of an injury but the underlying patterns, supporting a return to ease and freedom of movement.
Pregnancy
Babies and Children
The most common presenting complaints that an Osteopath tends to see between the ages of 0-1 are:
Colic and/or Reflux
Feeding Difficulties — Issues with latching, suck, head position, or general irritability while attempting to feed at the breast.
General Unsettledness or Unexplained Crying — Your baby may be experiencing discomfort or pain anywhere in the body, causing irritability. These discomforts may be structural, physiological, or even emotional. Birth is an intense process and can be quite traumatic for both baby and mother. It's important to understand that all the emotions a mother experiences during pregnancy and postpartum—such as anxiety, fear, anger, depression, uncertainty, joy, and love—are felt by the baby as well.
Sleep issues
Headshape concerns
An Osteopath can help release any compressions or restrictions that your baby or child may be experiencing due to their postition in the womb or the birth process (whether vaginal or c-section).
The most common presenting complaints between the ages of 1-14 are:
Postural Issues: Poor posture due to muscle imbalances, long periods sitting, or carrying heavy school bags.
Sports Injuries: Joint or muscle injuries from physical activity or accidents.
Scoliosis: Curvature of the spine that may appear in early adolescence.
2. Motor Skills and Coordination Development
Delayed Motor Skills: Challenges with movement, balance, or coordination that impact activities like walking, running, or fine motor skills.
Walking Issues: Including toe-walking or uneven gait, which may cause tension elsewhere in the body.
3. Digestive and Respiratory Concerns
Digestive Issues: Recurrent abdominal pain, constipation, or discomfort that may relate to structural imbalances.
Breathing Difficulties: Issues such as asthma or recurrent chest infections may benefit from gentle osteopathic work that focuses on the chest, spine, and diaphragm.
4. Headaches and Jaw Issues
Headaches or Migraines: Sometimes related to tension, posture, or cranial alignment.
Jaw Pain (TMJ): Pain or misalignment in the jaw that may affect chewing or talking.
5. Sleep and Behavioral Issues
Sleep Disturbances: Trouble sleeping due to physical discomfort or nervous system dysregulation.
Behavioral Challenges: Some children with hyperactivity, irritability, or sensitivity may benefit from nervous system balancing work in osteopathy.
6. Developmental and Learning Difficulties
Sensory Processing: Difficulty processing sensory information (sight, sound, touch) that may impact behavior or focus.
Learning and Focus: Gentle osteopathic treatment can help support nervous system function, which in some cases may aid in focus and learning challenges.
7. Emotional Well-being and Stress
Emotional or Stress-related Tension: For children dealing with anxiety, major life transitions, or tension that presents physically.
