Patient testimony

‟

Jean-Léonard de Meuron is a gifted and dedicated craniosacral therapist-practitioner. He is caring, intuitive and respectful. The emotional and physical healing he gently unleashes is subtle and yet extremely profound.

I have received craniosacral sessions from Jean-Léonard throughout this last difficult year. These sessions have been crucial to my healing from significant physical pain and the emotional trauma related to the loss of my partner.

When the sessions started, my body was depleted and defensive following three years of constant caregiving and had shut down as a form of  defence against stress. I was experiencing significant joint pain, stiffness, headaches, neck and lower back pain, and burning sensations in my limbs. Emotionally I was numb, and fatigued from trying to keep everything in my life together. I came in feeling wounded, separate from life and afraid.

When the first session commenced, I had an immediate sense of safety, as if I were in a sanctuary. These sessions have helped restore me physically and emotionally. After each session I feel integrated, a sense of dignity and a growing resilience. I feel present, emotionally uplifted, and at peace. Physically I have experienced significant relief from the joint pain, numbness in my extremities, headaches, jaw tension, and constricted breathing. The state of intense physical hyper-vigilance and sensitivity has diminished and is now manageable. I have been able to put myself back together. I have developed a physical awareness and vitality that helps me adapt to the stresses of daily life.

I bring my vulnerabilities to the sessions, I take off the external mask, remove the armour, and accept myself exactly as I am. After a session, I walk out trusting life, trusting my body, my intuition and feel connected to my deeper essence.

Jean-Léonard’s practice, and his sessions are a form of contemporary sanctuary.
