Counsellors listen to words.......
Craniosacral therapists listen to the body to find where it needs help to help itself.
I trained with the College of Craniosacral Therapy in Manchester.
Starting my training in 2019 and qualifying in 2022.
I am qualified in practising Craniosacral therapy both hands on and distance.
I trained as an Auriculotherapist or ear seed practitioner in September 2023.
My background is working with children and families within local authorities.
I am fully DBS checked and am a trained Mental Health First Aider
In October 2023 I trained as an Auricular Acupuncture or Ear Seed Practitioner with Acu Seeds based in Sheffield.
Back in 2015 my husband became unwell; at the time we didn’t know what was wrong but it turned out to be a B12 deficiency.
Whilst looking for something to try and make him better he happened upon Craniosacral Therapy.
He found it helped him to destress and settle his body, by now he had been diagnosed with the B12 deficiency and started to take B12 and his body was starting to repair itself, this gentle treatment worked alongside the vitamin and helped to settle the system and begin to heal.
He talked about how this made him feel and I began to wonder if it would help my son, who had taken some years to talk and still at the age of 9 struggled finding words and became frustrated lashing out when the words didn’t come to him.
I took him along to see the same therapist that my husband had been seeing and as she worked, he would fall asleep on the couch and then again in the car on the way home.
The following day, his speech flowed more freely and he was calmer and able to allow his mind time to think about what he wanted to say without getting frustrated. His teachers noticed how much calmer he was and that he was able to focus on learning in the classroom.
I could see how this therapy had helped my family and I began to look for places where I could learn how to do this and to see if it was for me.
I went to an introductory day in Manchester in 2018, where I was amazed that when I put my hands near people’s heads I could feel a sensation of movement around the head, like a tide going in and out. The tutors there asked what I could feel and told me that I would be able to learn this gentle therapy, so I signed up and started in September 2019.
Over the next 3 years I learnt how to assess people and to treat them hands on and at a distance, the Covid lockdowns had an effect on my learning and we went online, thus learning how to do distance treatments.
Finally in October 2020, we were face to face again and learning hands on. Exams and teaching clinics took place and finally in April 2022 I was qualified and able to start helping people.

Craniosacral therapy or CST works with the whole body and not just the head as the name Cranio suggests.
Therapists work with the Cerebral Spinal Fluid which circulates around the brain and down the spinal cord in a continuous flow.
It is packed full of nutrients signalling molecules and growth factors which nourish the neurone in the brain.
This flow can be disrupted causing physical and mental issues. CST helps to "facilitate the flow of fluid which can alleviate a lot of symptoms through a series of treatments.
After each treatment, changes may occur in the body mind and spirit. The therapist will lay their hands lightly on the person and uses them to “listen” to the body through sensitive touch.
Your body responds to this touch and begins to listen to itself. Some people seek to have CST because they have acute physical problems like headaches, bad backs or long standing physical and or emotional problems.
It is a gentle and non-invasive therapy making it ideal for people of all ages, for babies to help with the process of being born and to help the mother recover from the birth.
CST supports your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to reduce stress and build your underlying inner energies.
The therapist can sense these tensions and help to release them.
During a session the client may feel calm and energised or sometimes they may feel nothing apart from a sense of relaxation and they notice differences over the next few days.
After a session there is occasionally a short period of adjustment happening within the body and this may make the client more aware of the symptoms.
Some people report relief from issues after only a couple of sessions, others take longer if they have long standing issues.

Ear seeds are the oldest healing modality you’ve probably never heard of. Rooted in the principles of Chinese medicine, ear seeds are a natural, effective, and side-effect-free product that can support a broad spectrum of health concerns including anxiety, stress, headaches, digestion, immunity, and focus.
They are a needle-free form of auriculotherapy - the stimulation of specific points of the ear to address physical and emotional health concerns.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the ear is a microsystem of the whole body, where certain points on the ear correspond to different organs or body parts.
Ear seeds create continual, gentle pressure on nerve impulses in the ear which send messages to the brain that certain organs or systems need support. The brain will then send signals and chemicals to the rest of the body to support whatever ailments you’re experiencing, releasing endorphins into the bloodstream, relaxing the nervous system, and naturally soothing pain and discomfort.
when in lace the seeds stimulate and apply pressure to nerve endings which in turn send messages to the brain or identified parts of the body that needs support.
Ear Seeds can help with the following:
Stress, headaches, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, digestion, tinnitus, immunity, ADHD, back and neck pain, addiction, weight loss and many other conditions.
contact me to discuss any other conditions.

Due to work pressures I recently started to suffer with anxiety causing sleeplessness and acid reflux. One day I ended up suffering from severe stomach pains and panic attacks. I was in a terrible state, I was able to see Liz on that day as she was available. She started to use CST to try and re-balance my nervous system. Within 20 minute
Due to work pressures I recently started to suffer with anxiety causing sleeplessness and acid reflux. One day I ended up suffering from severe stomach pains and panic attacks. I was in a terrible state, I was able to see Liz on that day as she was available. She started to use CST to try and re-balance my nervous system. Within 20 minutes I started to calm down and my racing mind started to slow down. At the end of the session I had calmed down considerably and my acid reflux had eased. The whole experience was deeply relaxing and affected my nervous system at a deep level. That night I slept solidly for over 7 hours for the first time in months and I woke up without my mind spinning away and worrying. In fact my whole attitude had changed and I was able to put everything into perspective. This “reset” has lasted for several weeks. Subsequent to this treatment I went to see Liz about a problem with my left knee which had been painful for over 1 year, I had twisted it whilst running and hadn’t been able to walk more than ½ mile without pain. My doctor said it was arthritis but I wasn’t convinced I felt like I had twisted a ligament. Liz did a few sessions concentrating on my joints and my knee has dramatically improved to the point where I can walk several miles with ease.
I also started to suffer with pulsatile tinnitus, which after Liz treated started to ease and has dramatically improved with further treatments.

I began having refocus craniosacral therapy a year ago, I suffered quite severe pain which affected my ability to walk at times. I am now able to walk and move so much more and am mostly pain free. I hardly ever take my pain medication now. This has made such a difference to my mobility and well being. The treatment is relaxing and Therapist is very calming and professional. I would recommend this therapy to anyone suffering pain or restricted movement.

I had my first experience of this therapy today. I was very impressed. Liz was lovely and made me feel very at ease.
She was very thorough with me and we talked through my medical history before the therapy.
Liz picked up on things that I had forgotten to tell her.
I have chronic migraines and fibromyalgia as well as lower and neck pain and other issues.
It was very calming and relaxing and would highly recommend. I was amazed by what Liz picked up on. I will be back. Thanks Liz xxx

I saw Liz a few months ago for an assessment. I have never had this sort of treatment before, so it was very new to me. Liz made me feel calm and relaxed. She was very clear in what she was doing and kept checking in with me throughout. I felt so relaxed and calm after the treatment and my ankle felt so much better. I would highly recommend! Thank you Liz

Wow! My first craniosacral therapy session and I had no clue what to expect. I went to Liz at Refocus Craniosacral Therapy after meeting her at a wellbeing festival. The main issue I want to address with CST is tinnitus. It is very hard to explain the shifts in energy and physical results during the CST session, but I felt immediate results around my sinuses and ears. There was a pressure release and draining sensation. The session was very relaxing and Liz was very welcoming. I am really looking forward to another CST to see what shifts happen next!

Had a great taster session this morning and I was very impressed and definitely be back to explore more. Liz is so lovely and puts you totally at ease and it was really interesting the feedback about something I did not even come to look at - but I will be wanting to explore more - highly recommend and see you soon Liz and thank you again xx💜

I have had a number of sessions with Liz over the last few months and I have found it to be so relaxing and has helped me reduce stress and anxiety. Liz is a lovely lady who makes you feel completely at ease. She is an expert in her field. I know because, as soon as she put her hands on my feet, she knew to pinpoint exactly the issues I had and I hadn’t told her much before the visit. In fact, she picked up on things I didn’t mention. It was really quite impressive and not what I expected.
I wish I could explain exactly what happens during CST - but something shifts. It’s like putting your feet into your fav slippers or coming in from the cold to a warm fire. After the session; there’s a deep sense of calm which comes from within. It’s as if Liz completely tunes into the body. Don’t hesitate if you’re considering booking. It’s worth every penny!
