Cranio Sacral therapy treatments have started in Cherrywood
Hello everybody, my name is Friederike and I
am a Cranio Sacral therapist (CST) since 1996.
Originally qualified as a German physiotherapist in 1992, I changed my focus over the following years more and more to the more wholesome treatment CST.
CST is a very gentle, deeply relaxing whole body treatment, suitable for adults and kids.
Every day all of us experience physical and emotional stresses and strains, which cause our body’s tissues to contract. Sometimes, if stress lasts too long or the shock is severe, tissue remains contracted, which restricts our body’s functioning (“we are stuck”) and can lead to problems such as chronic pain, headaches/migraine, exhaustion, sleep disorders, digestive disorders, anxiety, TMD (trouble with the jaw), learning disabilities.
By balancing the environment around the central nervous system and enhancing the body’s natural ability to self-heal, CST is able to ease a large range of health problems, relieve pain and help improve our overall well-being.
While you are lying fully clothed on a treatment table, I will detect these problem areas with a light touch, feeling various parts of the body and help release stress and tension held deep within, thus freeing any energy previously used to hold restrictions.
In the last years my focus has been mostly on my kids and family, giving treatments to friends and people in need as I encountered them.
Now I have started to offer my services regularly again. You can find me and my Cranio Sacral colleague Rachel Penny in Cherrywood.
Our contacts are:
Friederike 027 495 7989
Rachel 022 0670 052
We are very much looking forward to meeting you!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
