Lia Schiesches BCST, RCSTA - Craniosacral Therapy and Massage Therapist. Lia spent many years training and performing in a variety of fields, ranging from Dance, Flamenco, Acrobatics and Capoeira. Life events lead to the desire to complement this background and learn therapies to treat bodies that are using hands as their tools.

After her initial qualification as a Massage Therapist in 1997 Lia studied a number of
therapies including Thai Massage, Sports Massage, Pulsing and Myofascial Release. The way she massages today is influenced by these different treatment styles she learned and her hands-on experience throughout the years. 

Her treatment path embraced a new direction in 2013 when she qualified in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.  Lia studied with the Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust (CTET) under the guidance of Katherine Ukleja who has also been the tutor of many of her postgraduate courses, which include Stress, Trauma, Cranial Nerves, Behind the Smile (Vagus Nerve), the Hyoid, Focusing, the Pelvis and Women's Health. 

Lia says that she finds the gentle, non- intrusive approach of Cranio profoundly effective in securing enduring relief from a range of debilitating and distressing conditions. In her work Lia has supported people with general states of stress, depression and anxiety as well as the emotional and physical traumas resulting from accidents and post-surgery.

She also works with many people with non-specific back and neck aches with great results.
Some of her regular clients use sessions as a tool for general wellbeing and a better sense
of self.
