Trauma changes how the nervous system interprets bodily signals.

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) provides a very different kind of bodily experience:

slow + non-invasive + predictable + relational + internally focused + low sensory demand

That could potentially give the nervous system an opportunity to experience bodily sensation without requiring defensive action.

Such as:

interoception → orienting → autonomic regulation → increased capacity → integration

When you are ready for a session you can book at www.claudiahawkins.com

I have North and Central/ South locations.

If you have questions like these, you are looking for an experience of understanding, connection, agency, and embodied change. I would be thrilled to help and love supporting others on their healing journey, safely and with lots of curiosity.

* “I understand it intellectually, but I can’t seem to change it.”

* “I don’t really know what I need.”

* “I take care of everyone else and lose myself.”

* “I keep repeating the same patterns.”

* “My body tells me something is wrong before I understand it.”

* “I want to understand why I react this way.”

* “I’ve done a lot of traditional talk therapy/self-development, but I still feel disconnected from my body.”

* “I want something deeper than just talking about the problem.”

* “I want to learn how to listen to myself.”

* “I don’t want someone to fix me. I want help understanding myself.”

* “I know there is something underneath this, but I don’t know how to access it.”

If this is you, I invite you cordially to schedule a new client session at either my North or South Austin location at www.claudiahawkins.com

Systemic Family Constellations, a modality that has helped so many to understand issues that often go unseen, can be a wonderful tool to go deeper in gaining perspective on generational trauma, mental and physical health, blocks to decisions and abundance etc…

Today, after 4 prior Craniosacral sessions, a client and I dove deeper into sleep issues that was having panic and anxiety. They were carrying a burden for 2 family members who were entangled with them that would not allow rest. Hard to rest when it is humanly impossible to do the work of 2 other people.

Slowly and suddenly we see our value, our burden, our sacrifice and loyalties. With Systemic Family Constellations love can flow freely and we learn to see what is, making it easier to stand in our correct order and place.

If you would like to schedule a consultation to see if you are a good fit, feel free to contact me through the media on my website: www.claudiahawkins.com

🧠💓 Could One Gentle Technique Reset Autonomic Imbalance?
CranioSacral Therapy might hold the key.

A published case study in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science explores how a 39-year-old man suffering from Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)—a form of dysautonomia that spiked after COVID—found lasting relief not from medication, but from osteopathic manual therapy, specifically the CV4 technique (Compression of the Fourth Ventricle).

🌿 What’s compelling?
✅ Symptoms improved after the first CV4 session
✅ Heart rate response normalized over a series of sessions
✅ Symptom-free for over 6 months

This case proposes CranioSacral Therapy as a viable standalone modality for managing neuropathic POTS—an increasingly common challenge in post-COVID patients.

✨ For manual therapists, it’s a powerful reminder: the body has the potential to reset, given the right support.

Posting this training for one of the people who encouraged me to learn WATSU, my dear Rhoda! She is super patient and loves teaching. If you know anyone who would like to learn this modality please pass this along.

WATSU is an amazing bodywork modality done in heated water using shiatsu movements to passively glide, massage and promote more mobility to clients.

I have room for a couple sessions left at my Westlake Hills location today if anyone wants them. You can schedule at www.claudiahawkins.com (** 2 schedulers and 2 locations choose accordingly)!

I also have some openings next week at both locations. Hope you all are having a great summer and looking forward to working with you! ♥️
