CranioSacral Therapists
Carolyn O’Neill CST-D, MCSS, MSc 
Carolyn (Caro) began her training as a complementary therapist in 1996. Having established a successful practice in Mallorca, where she was living at the time, she then continued her training with the Upledger Institute UK. In 2002 Caro and her family returned to her birthplace on the Cornwall/Devon border where she continued to practice. Caro joined the Kensey Centre in 2002 and runs her own practice in Holsworthy.
Caro also teaches Introductory Workshops to anyone wishing to know more about CST. She is a mentor to students and runs regular Study Group days in Launceston for students and practising therapists. She is a Director of Upledger Community Programmes, a Social Enterprise providing CranioSacral Therapy to specific communities and those who may otherwise be unable to afford treatment. She is a qualified member of the CranioSacral Society.
As part of her continuing professional development, Caro has completed a five year Masters Programme in Gestalt Psychotherapy which concluded in 2022. She has now embarked on a teacher training programme with a view to increasing public access to Upledger’s work.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on, light touch therapy that is gentle, non-invasive and usually subtle.
It evaluates and treats the craniosacral system – the bones, membranes & fluid surrounding the brain & spinal cord. Because of its close association with the nervous system it can have a profound effect on the whole body, both physically and emotionally. The practitioner’s intention is to listen to and trust the body’s knowledge of itself and what it needs in order to heal, with ‘no agenda’ for what needs to happen. Sometimes extraordinary and unexpected changes can occur!
What to expect from your visit
A typical Craniosacral Therapy session takes place in a quiet setting. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable treatment table. A session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or integrated with other therapies. What you experience from a treatment is highly individual and can be different each time. Typically, people report feelings of warmth, softening or pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on and generally they feel deeply relaxed.
