About
What is BCST? How can it give to you…
Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy is a profound, gentle, advanced therapy that uses a very light touch presence on the body. The foundation of BCST is its understanding that your body holds an inherent intelligence and knows how to heal itself and come into balance with the right touch, space and listening.
This somatic bodywork is assisting people to experience a renewed sense of safety and wellbeing in their bodies whilst assisting you to develop a greater body connection and awareness.
Rooted in osteopathic principles, BCST brings your body into a powerful relationship with the deep resource of original health that it inherently holds. This is your body’s intelligence and original blueprint. Within this health is an infinite resource of dynamic stillness through which the body remembers itself in its wholeness.
THE PROCESS
Using gentle touch, Helena will come into a neutral, physiologically informed place of listening to your body. Your body prioritises the healing and Helena, will follow your body’s direction by coming into a variety of different holds along your body, for example, your feet, sacrum, shoulders and cranium. Helena will make a relationship to the tissues, bones, fluids and your nervous system through each gentle hold. Clients report experiences of spaciousness, deep relaxation and softness during a treatment.
When the body is received with this level of stillness and presence it can express its healing priorities, any traumas its holding, held patterns of pain and stress and gently move to places of greater resolution without having to revisit the original overwhelm.
Through Biodynamic craniosacral therapy you have the opportunity to resource your body with feelings of centredness, groundedness and space. You will experience shifts within your nervous system and a reduction in stress signals, as your body reorients to its deeper well of resource and equilibrium. The body begins to feel safer and safer and experiences of pain and discomfort become less or do not overwhelm.
Shifts occur within your mental and emotional perception as a deeper embodiment becomes available. The body remembers its true nature, tissue and fluid patterns resolve and a sense of your true essence of peace and joy can emerge more fully.

“My experience as Helena’s client has been remarkable. As a person with a scientific background I was sceptical of it but after experiencing it personally I was converted.
Helena’s gentle approach during our sessions made me feel relaxed, safe and open to transformation and wow what incredible transformation! She operated with such compassion, gentleness and deep connection that I could sense all that was happening. Our discussions during and afterwards clearly showed that we were on the same page often having the same vision and experience.
I would recommend to anyone needing physical, emotional and spiritual support a treatment by Helena as it has provided me with huge benefit in all of these areas.

“Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy offered me a healing modality unlike any I have previously experienced. Having PTSD it is important that I feel comfortable and safe. In her own skilled and
sensitive approach, Helena was able to provide both. Through gentle touch and deep listening to the inner workings of the body, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy offered me a gentle and yet
powerful opportunity to restore balance to my nervous system, gain valuable insights into old patterns of behavior and experience a deep sense of wellbeing.”
Helena Lee BCST Practitioner
I began studying BCST in 2008 and returned to complete the practitioner training in 2025. I have attended post graduate studies in BCST and Spirituality. I am one of the anatomical illustrators of the training textbook Cranial Intelligence.
I have been working with individuals in their pursuit of truth, healing and happiness since early 2016. One of my joys in craniosacral therapy is to actively work within the space where the spirit incarnates into form through the body. This is a place of powerful resource for the body, where renewed relationships can be made with feelings of inherent safety, wellbeing and peace. Great perceptual shifts, can occur at this juncture allowing a ripple effect to occur through the tissue and fluid matrix.
The power of stillness and presence is paramount within the practitioners field of awareness through this therapy. The body responds to this subtle yet powerful not judgemental, safe holding as it knows it inherently. I bring many years of meditation and meditative practices to my quality of presence to create a safe relationship with your body, through which, your body can begin to settle and reorient to greater expressions of its own breath of life.
The conversations that emerge through a treatment are often rich in nature as you find a new depth of relationship with yourself through your body’s felt senses. A softening occurs, a settling begins and a breadth of fulfilment and possibility emerges through a renewed way of listening to your body. Patience, space and presence are cornerstones to this therapy. The body’s innate ability to heal itself and remember its essence is the framework.
“I have benefited greatly from Helena’s treatments. She is such a kind and gentle practitioner. I enter a deep meditative state, which is highly beneficial to me spiritually and physically.”
