Treatments

BCST

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a holistic, gentle, and supportive therapy that uses an intuitive present light touch that listens to the body’s subtle rhythms of health. This holds the space for the intelligence of the body to initiate the release of held patterns, tensions and charges. It promotes wellness and balance.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, like muscles, connective tissue, and joints to encourage more ease, length, and mobility. It can be helpful with diminishing pain and encouraging relaxation.

Who Am I?

Gayle’s passion for becoming a skilled therapist was inspired by her own early life experiences with chronic pain and illness.  She began by exploring movement and breath with a 200hr yoga teacher training in 2006 and went on to become a yoga teacher and nature/muti-sport guide. Gayle then had a profound experience with the amazing healing power of stillness which led her to discover Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST). She was captivated by how listening to the body through light touch can access the bodies intelligence and release held tensions and charges. She completed a two year BCST diploma in 2012 with Body Intelligence and enjoyed a successful private practise.

Inspired to learn more about our bodies and expand her scope of practise, Gayle went onto study massage therapy,  she graduated from a two year diploma program in May 2019 and became registered shortly after. She now uses a combination of skills to address issues in the muscular, nervous and cardiovascular systems. Her treatments usually include assessing for the source of discomfort and using a skillful, knowledgeable and intuitive touch to help make authentic and lasting change.

Gayle is passionate about helping people find more ease and connection to their bodies. She has a deep respect for the intelligence and inherent healing ability of our systems and works to help empower people on their healing journeys. She is now practicing in Victoria and Salt Spring island and is teaching Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy for Body Intelligence in Victoria.

testimonials

What my Clients Have to Say

“Gayle is an incredibly skilled massage therapist. She gravitated toward my sore runners knee without my telling her about it and worked wonders on it. She is professional and warm, and made the whole experience feel safe, relaxing and therapeutic. After one experience I am sold, 3 follow-up appointments are already in the calendar.” Shauna Mae

“Thank you for a truly wonderful massage. I have had many in my life, and you have a special gift. Many masseurs just ‘do it to you’, but somehow you manage to create a participation of two people and made it easy for me to surrender completely and really get the most out of the treatment. One of the problems with the drugs is lymph not flowing, hence the puffyness in the body, but I could literally feel the lymph flowing, and energy moving again in my body as you worked. Such a treat – hope to see you again when we visit next year, I will book you well in advance!” Kayla Justice

“When I first started seeing Gayle for biodynamic craniosacral therapy, the tendinitis in my wrists was so inflamed that I could not open jars, lift a dinner plate, or even turn a door handle without a lot of pain and weakness. At first I was surprised by the stillness with which she practices, but Gayle’s wonderful ability to guide me into a deep, yet present meditation opened up my understanding to the world of subtle and very potent healing that happens within our bodies. Her keen ability to “see” and be present with what is happening within the body invites incredible healing to take place, both on the table, and continuing, sometimes for days after a treatment. Within a few sessions, my wrists felt strong, connected, and pain free! When the tendinitis returned months later, it only took one session with Gayle for my wrist to ‘remember’ the previous treatments and easily return to strength and health.” Hanna Munneke

“After the first treatment I felt a new energy and further treatments brought both relief from pain and muscle tightness. My sciatic pain has diminished to a very low level and is not so susceptible to aggravation with lifting. This past month has been a good test and I seem to feel better with each new day. Without the pain, my attitude has improved and my over all well being is improving with the knowledge that I can move forward with my projects and my life. This has to date, been quite a significant change and I am looking forward to greater benefits with more sessions.” Keith Stibbards
