Things I get asked about BCST all the time… #4

💬 “But you’re barely touching me… how can that actually do anything?”

Fair question. 😂

Especially if you’re used to treatments where the general rule seems to be:

‘No pain, no gain’

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is very different.

BCST uses an incredibly light, still contact. I’m not digging into muscles, stretching tissue, cracking anything or trying to physically force your body into a different position.

And that’s quite deliberate.

Your body is absolutely loaded with sensory receptors constantly sending information back to your brain and nervous system about things like touch, pressure, movement, position and safety.

Touch doesn’t need to be forceful for your nervous system to notice it.

During a session, rather than deciding “this bit is tight, therefore I need to make it release,” I’m paying attention to what I can feel through my hands and how your system responds.

Sometimes I’ll stay in one position for quite a while.

Sometimes my hands will move somewhere completely different from where you’ve told me you’re uncomfortable.

And sometimes you’ll be lying there thinking…

“She cannot possibly be doing anything.” 😂

Then you’ll notice your breathing change.

Your jaw unclenches.

A shoulder you didn’t realise you were holding up around your ear drops.

Your stomach starts conducting the orchestra we discussed in #3. 😂

Or you suddenly realise you haven’t felt this deeply settled in a very long time.

BCST isn’t about more pressure, more movement or more force.

It’s about creating the conditions where I don’t need to impose change on your body.

And that’s probably the hardest part of BCST to explain until you’ve actually experienced it.

Gentle doesn’t necessarily mean insignificant. 💜

Things I get asked about BCST all the time… #3

💬 “Oh my god, I’m so sorry! My stomach will NOT stop making noises. I swear I’m not even hungry!” 😂

Firstly — you absolutely do not need to apologise.

Gurgling, rumbling and all sorts of interesting digestive sound effects are something I hear regularly during Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

And no, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re hungry.

Your digestive system is constantly moving gas and fluid through your gastrointestinal tract — something called peristalsis — but those sounds can become much more noticeable when you’re lying quietly in a treatment room with absolutely nothing else going on.

There’s another interesting piece to it too.

Digestion is closely connected with your autonomic nervous system — the part of your nervous system involved in all those things your body handles automatically, including heart rate, breathing and digestion.

When we’re stressed, busy, rushing, bracing or constantly “on”, our bodies can prioritise alertness and action.

As you begin to settle during a BCST session, you may notice changes associated with that quieter state:

✨ Your breathing slows or deepens
✨ You sigh or yawn
✨ Your muscles soften
✨ You feel heavy or sleepy
✨ And your digestive system suddenly decides it has a LOT to say 😂

People sometimes refer to the parasympathetic side of the autonomic nervous system as “rest and digest” for exactly this reason.

It doesn’t mean I’ve pressed some magical nervous-system reset button.

It’s simply one of the many things we can notice as your body moves between different physiological states.

So if you’re lying on my table and your stomach suddenly sounds like it’s trying to communicate with another life form…

Don’t be embarrassed.

I promise you, I’ve heard it before and personally I take it as a compliment that’s things are progressing well.

Things I get asked about BCST all the time… #2

💬 “Are you actually moving me? Because I swear I can feel things moving… but your hands aren’t moving.”

Nope — you’re not imagining it. 😂

One of the strangest things for people experiencing Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy for the first time is just how much they can feel when, from the outside, it looks like I’m doing very little.

BCST uses extremely gentle, mostly still contact.

Rather than physically manipulating your body or trying to force a change, I’m listening through my hands to subtle changes in tension, movement and settling within your system.

And sometimes you can feel those changes too.

People describe all sorts of sensations:

✨ A gentle rocking or swaying
✨ A feeling of expanding or opening
✨ Waves or pulsing
✨ Warmth moving through an area
✨ A sensation that part of the body is shifting or unwinding
✨ Feeling like the table—or even the whole room—is moving

Meanwhile, my hands may have barely moved at all.

That’s one of the biggest differences between BCST and something like massage or a manual technique where the practitioner is deliberately creating movement.

I’m not trying to make your body do something.

I’m paying attention to what your body is already doing and giving it the time, space and support to respond.

Sometimes that response is so subtle you don’t notice anything.

And sometimes you open your eyes and look at me suspiciously because you’re absolutely convinced I’ve been moving you. 😂

Both are completely okay.

There is no “right” way to experience BCST.

30/08/2026

Things I get asked about BCST all the time…

💬 “I don’t really feel like you’re doing anything… but you’re making me REALLY tired. It’s probably just because I’m lying down for a change.”

Actually, that deep heaviness and tiredness is something I hear about all the time during Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

BCST uses very gentle contact and gives the body an opportunity to shift away from the constant doing, bracing and alertness that many of us spend our days in.

For someone who has been running in a heightened stress state for a long time, becoming deeply settled can feel surprisingly dramatic — even though from the outside it looks like not much is happening at all.

Some people notice their breathing change.
Some feel incredibly heavy.
Some drift in and out of a dream-like state.
Some notice warmth, tingling or little spontaneous muscle twitches.

And one of my favourites…

🌈 “Why am I seeing all these funky colours with my eyes closed?”

People sometimes notice colours, patterns or shifting lights behind their closed eyelids as they become deeply relaxed. There are perfectly normal visual and neurological reasons we can experience this — and you don’t need to do anything with it. Just notice it and let it pass.

Those little muscle twitches can happen too. As the body becomes quieter and you hover around that deeply relaxed, almost-asleep state, you may notice small involuntary movements — a leg jumps, a finger twitches, a shoulder lets go.

And inevitably I hear…

“Sorry! I think I fell asleep.” 😂

You don’t need to apologise.

You also don’t need to concentrate, meditate, clear your mind or try to make something happen.

Your only job on the table is to be there.

I’ll do mine. 😉

✨ A couple of appointments have popped up! ✨

I have a couple of 1-hour appointments available this week and next for Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

And a little thank you to those who have cancelled or rescheduled because you’ve come down with the cold/flu that’s doing the rounds. I really appreciate you looking after yourselves and keeping the clinic space well. 💜

If you’ve been waiting for an appointment now’s your chance to grab one.

✨ Clinic Update ✨

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know about a few upcoming changes at Body Alchemy Clinic.

From 1 October 2026, my session prices will be updated to:

🌿 45-minutes – $90
🌿 60-minutes – $110
🌿 90-minutes – $155 (available until 18 December 2026 only)

Over the past few years I’ve been committed to continuing my education and investing in my clinic so I can provide the highest standard of care possible. Like many small businesses the cost of operating has continued to increase and this price adjustment will help ensure I can continue offering a sustainable, high-quality service into the future.

As many of you will have noticed, online bookings are now available exclusively for 45 & 60-minute Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions.

The 90-minute session will be retired when the clinic closes for a much needed break at the end of the year.

My final day of trade for 2026 will be Friday, 18 December.

I’d like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your continued trust, support and referrals over the years. It is a privilege to be part of your health journey and I look forward to continuing to support you.

Warmly,
Manda 💜

✨ Exciting news from Body Alchemy Clinic ✨

Well… it’s exciting to me anyway! 🥰

Now that I have officially completed my studies, I finally have a little more breathing room (and a little less time buried in textbooks and exams 😱).

Which means… I’ve been able to open up some extra appointments over the coming weeks!

If you’ve been waiting for a session, now is the perfect time to jump onto the booking link and secure a spot.

https://bodyalchemyclinic.schedulista.com

I’ll be trialling these additional appointment times over the next few weeks and, if they flow well and people are enjoying the extra availability, I’ll continue opening more where I can.

A gentle reminder — these new appointments are for Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy sessions only.

Thank you all for your patience and support while I completed this next chapter of my training.

08/07/2026

I have a couple of last minute appointments available tomorrow.

I have tried to contact everyone on my cancellation list.

However, due to our national outage I’m not sure that plp have received the messages 🫪

So now it’s up to the universe. First in best de-stressed 😉

It’s finally official!

After the last 3.5 years of intense study & traveling back and forth to Sydney. I now hold a piece of paper that says I completed my diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

I can now have 4 little letters behind my name ‘RCST’ once my registration goes through.

I’ll still be travelling every fortnight to work with & learn from my mentor because he has shown me so much more than anything a book or anatomy study can teach me.

Side note it always feels like a spot quiz every time I see him 🤣🤣 and every question I ask is received with another text book to read and figure out the answer for next time. I’m truly grateful for his time, expertise & patience with me.

28/06/2026

Hey Body Alchemy family,

Just a little heads-up that the clinic will be closed this week while I’m away completing the final practical exams for my Advanced Diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.

During this time I won’t be available to respond to calls, texts or messages. I promise I’ll get back to everyone as soon as I’m back in the clinic next week.

As always you’re welcome to book your next appointment online using my booking link. However you’ll notice that online bookings are now only available for Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, as I am no longer taking new massage clients.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while I finish this final stage of my training.

I can’t wait to share this milestone with you all when I return.

Warmly,

Manda 💜
