I was referred to Stephanie by word of mouth when I was looking for somatic nervous system support after experiencing vicarious work trauma, followed by a cancer diagnosis. I was in such a dark place that I needed more than talk therapy—I needed to feel safe in my own body, especially during chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy.
From our very first session, Stephanie's warm, nurturing presence gave me that sense of safety. I knew very little about craniosacral therapy and had expected it to be more hands-on. Instead, I discovered that Stephanie doesn't seek to heal or fix; she creates the conditions in which the body feels safe enough for its own innate healing intelligence to emerge. In that space, deeply held pain, trauma, and emotion can gently soften and transform.
In our fast-paced, overstimulated world, we rarely experience the kind of physical, psychological, and emotional safety that allows true healing to unfold. Stephanie offers that space with remarkable warmth, clarity, and unwavering boundaries.
What sets Stephanie apart is not simply her skill, but the depth of her own inner practice, which became apparent to me as I got to know her. Her grounded presence creates a rare kind of safety—one that allows the nervous system to settle and the body to do what it already knows how to do. I honour her work and the profound impact it has had on my healing journey and recovery. I will always remember the time I spent in her presence with gratitude.

Stephanie's treatments were recommended to me by a friend. Not only is she clearly an experienced and skillful practitioner; at the same time her treatments feel like the warm embrace of a friend. I would recommend anyone to put themselves in her safe and trustworthy care

Steph is a beautiful person and offers deep healing through her craniosacral gift. After a session with Steph I have always felt supported, seen, held, and able to move forward with deeper peace and balance in my body, mind, and spirit. My husband suffered a severe TBI in 2023 following an accident. He has had regular sessions with Steph over the last 6 months. The sessions have had a positive impact on his healing journey. His words "Steph is very trusting and I feel very relaxed and calm after the session.

There is no one like Steph for providing nurturing bodywork and service, and I have been lucky enough to experience plenty of diverse practitioners over the years!
Somehow, as soon as I see her, I know that I'm safe. As soon as she puts her hands on, I relax. She brings the right amount of talking and quiet to each session (which may be different each time.) She seems highly attuned to my needs and it's super clear how much she cares about delivering unbeatable quality every time.
Steph has been giving me craniosacral therapy for a serious back injury and many weeks it's been the highlight of my week. It's gentle enough to manage while I'm waiting for pain and inflammation to go down. Often I've been able to catch up on sleep while on Steph's table - also a crucial part of my healing. At times it has prompted insights that have helped me cope better. Steph takes the time to make sure I'm comfortable throughout the session, since I often have to adjust positions.
If you want the real deal - someone who is centred, peaceful, authentic, and practical - I recommend contacting Steph!

I have been using Stephanie’s skills for the past 12-15 years and more recently for the past 8-9 years for her skills in Craniosacral Therapy. I have consistently found that the clarity of Stephanie’s Craniosacral therapy provides me with the clarity and serenity of mind and thought that is much needed.
It has helped me to cope not only with general day to day pressure but also in more recently years has been an amazing assistance in providing the clarity needed to cope with unexpected life issues and make important life decisions
I cannot recommend Stephanie’s skills and therapies enough.

Stephanie Gustafsson is a healer. I felt deeply supported by her treatments and by her knowledgeable expertise. I know nothing about craniosacral therapy but what she did for me over several sessions enabled me to access a deep rest state and restore me to wellbeing. The treatments healed some health issues I was suffering (or she might say helped my body heal itself) and restored me to wellbeing. I feel fortunate to have access to her and her special skills. I think Stephanie has unique healing gifts and subtle yet powerful health care methods.

Steph's depth of presence combined with her deep knowledge and understanding of healing and recovery, makes her a very special wellness practitioner. I saw her for craniosacral sessions to address chronic migraines; and after each session experienced deep changes and relaxation, leading to improved sleep and increased bodily wellbeing. After several sessions, my migraines became less acute; and this has been sustained for many years, where I no longer suffer from them. Steph is deeply invested in the healing process and has the knowledge and skills to support people in both the recovery process and towards greater well being. I highly recommend her.
