Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
SERVICES
Peace Rose Clinic
My name is Philippa Rodgers and I am a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. I work from a quiet, child-friendly clinic at my home in Warkworth, a delightful small town just 40 mins north of Auckland CBD, I also offer Aromatherapy and Homeobotanic remedies and Flower Essences to complement the Craniosacral Therapy.
What is Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy derived from Cranial Osteopathy. The Biodynamic approach is non-manipulative, and client led, accessing the body’s own intelligence and innate healing ability.
It works with natural rhythms and movement patterns of the bones, membranes and fluids in the head and spine and throughout the body. It supports the body to release patterns of tension, compression or dis-ease and to return to innate healthy patterns and helps the nervous system and other systems of the body to settle and regulate.
A treatment session involves the client relaxing comfortably on a massage table or chair, remaining fully clothed, while the practitioner’s hands are gently placed in various positions on the body.
In the case of children and babies they may be sitting or lying or even playing wherever they are happiest or held by their caregiver.
Through a series of treatments, a client can experience greater vitality and well-being, an improvement in symptoms and a movement away from old patterns and dis-ease. Even after a single session a client will often experience more energy, resilience, calmness and mental clarity.
Who can benefit from Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy?
Anyone can benefit from this relaxing restorative therapy to improve health and well-being and it is suitable for all ages – newborn, children, adults, pregnant women, and frail or elderly.
Mothers and babies:
It is particularly beneficial for the mother and newborn baby to recover from the momentous event of the birth process, and is a safe gentle therapy during pregnancy to prepare the mother’s body for the birth process. Difficulties during birth may lead to common infant problems such as colic, excessive crying, feeding and sleeping difficulties which may be relieved with treatment.
Trauma
Many conditions, illnesses, aches and pains, and undue stress originate from physical or emotional trauma which may be recent or in the past. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can facilitate profound changes in a person’s health and well being by recognising and releasing trauma held in the body, safely and gently.
Acute and chronic conditions of many kinds respond favourably to treatment including
- Dental issues eg. Orthodontic work
- Back pain/ injuries/strains
- Headaches
- Shoulder and neck tension
- Sciatica pain
- Ear/hearing problems
- Sinusitis
- Stress/anxiety/insomnia/depression
- Children’s behavioural issues
- Digestive problems/colic
- Hormonal problems
My Background
I am a qualified Pharmacist and have been involved in Natural Therapy for many years practising Massage, Homeobotanic and Herbal therapies, Aromatherapy and Anthroposophical Pharmacy and have always enjoyed meeting and helping people.
In 2007 I discovered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and this amazing modality is now my passion.
I love the way it helps people find their own strength and healing potential within themselves. Our bodies have an amazing inner intelligence to re-centre and balance when we just give them the time and space and attention they need.
I love working with babies and young children who can teach us so much about being in the present moment. They respond so readily to this therapy.

Testimonial
“Philippa has worked on myself and also currently my daughter. Her work is always effective and powerful. She is helping my daughter's jaw adjust as her teeth come through and has reduced the aches that she was having in her mouth. My daughter looks forward to each session as she gets off Philippa's table deeply relaxed, and that feeling lasts for her for many days. I have no hesitation in recommending Philippa for work on babies, children and adults. Thanks so much Philippa!”
