Relieve, Restore and Rebalance

Craniosacral Therapy for High-Performance Athletes and Sports Competitors

My name’s Shaun. I’m a Craniosacral Therapist and Holistic Life Coach. I specialise in supporting adults in recovering from stress, anxiety, trauma or chronic illness.

I offer a specialised service for athletes who want to support recovery, improve performance readiness and maintain a more balanced, resilient state throughout training and competition.

The Demands of Performance and Recovery


High-level performance asks a lot from your body — and places heavy demand on your nervous system. Chronic stress from prolonged training loads, competition and the mental load of maintaining peak performance can overwhelm the body’s ability to rest and recover.  This brings an increased risk of injury and reduction in overall performance capacity.

Many sports therapies also require effort on your part — be it through rigorous physio or rehabilitation plans, strict sleep protocols and nutritional management.

Craniosacral Therapy offers a different kind of support, where nothing is asked of you. Using relaxation and gentle, non-invasive touch, it helps the nervous system shift out of high-alert and into a calmer, deeply-restorative state — where you are able to profoundly relax and your whole system slow down, recover and reset.

Supporting Performance, Not Adding Pressure


For athletes navigating intense competition cycles, Craniosacral Therapy can support:

  • more effective recovery between training sessions
  • improved ability to down-regulate after competition
  • better stress, anxiety and emotional regulation
  • clearer mental focus under pressure
  • deeper, more restorative sleep

Craniosacral Therapy supports your body’s own capacity to reset — physically, mentally and emotionally.

Why Add Craniosacral Therapy to Your Support Programme?

Craniosacral Therapy supports better athletic performance, without asking more from your body. It complements other therapies, such as physiotherapy, sports massage, acupuncture or medical care — integrating easily within your existing performance package. It's particularly useful during heavy training blocks, rehabilitation phases or periods of sustained pressure.


Athletes frequently describe:


  • feeling more ready to train
  • a steadier, calmer baseline during competition
  • greater resilience during demanding schedules
  • better awareness of problems before they lead to injury


If you’re looking for a holistic way to complement your current training strategy, get in touch and we can discuss your needs.

Special Introductory Offer

Because it can take more than one session to really settle into the process, new clients are offered their second session at no additional cost. Book the first, come to the second session for free.

This allows you to:

  • Settle into the experience without rushing
  • Notice real difference between sessions
  • Decide, in your own time, if it is right for you

"Shaun's sessions were safe, grounding and deeply relaxing. I happily recommend him as a trauma-sensitive professional who attuned to my individual needs in each session."
