Biodynamic Cranial Approach
Return to Wholeness
Biodynamic Cranial Approach (BCA) is a gentle, hands-on, honoring of the inherent rhythms of the body, its tissues, fluids, and biofield within which it organizes and reorganizes towards original health. Biodynamics recognizes that the same forces that have been with us since we were embryos are still present within us and respond to the presence of light touch that is guided by the greater field. BCA session space is one outside of treatment models, therapeutic intent, or manipulation to body or of energy. Simply put, this is a space of Presence and Stillness in being with the subtle yet potent truth of our body’s innate impulse towards Wholeness.
Sessions take place in silence, within a spaciousness free of distraction and overt environmental sound. Those receiving in the session lie on a massage table and are supported by pillows and bolsters and swaddled in blankets as needed to create comfortable, easeful relaxation so the human body is able to drop into stillness and into deeper and deeper layers of being. This setting provides ease for the body’s natural and instinctive processes that need no other assistance or interference to enact their wisdom.
My experience of a Biodynamic session with Wendy was such a gift! I could feel so much moving in my body, at very deep physical, emotional, and energetic levels. I could feel her exceedingly gentle, caring presence every step of the way — before, during, and after. Her presence is also deeply grounding and wise. I felt so safe in her care, which is important to me. The experience was so relaxing and good. Even after the session, it felt really good to talk about what came up for me, and have plenty of time for questions and integration. I recommend Wendy’s sessions 200%

Working with Wendy and experiencing Biodynamics is truly transformational. Unlike other modalities, which have seemed intrusive to me, Biodynamics is a gentle process that honors and trusts the body's ability to come into balance. Wendy is an exquisite practitioner and her ability to hold space and sense into higher energetic intelligence allows for body and soul healing that is purely potent and deliciously cathartic. I feel like a new woman... re-united with my essential nature and energized to live life fully and joyfully! Thank you, Wendy!

Wholeness as Health is one of the main guiding principles of the work. It comes from a biodynamic perspective informed by the late great Embryologist Erich Blechschmidt. There really is no separation. We are always, and in all ways, a complete functional whole. The forces that create us, also maintain us, and continue to influence our growth, development, and evolution. Viewing through the eyes of Wholeness shifts our perspective and offers potent thresholds for health and wellbeing.
Dr. Sutherland transmitted biodynamics orally to a close inner circle of students. After Dr. Sutherland's death, Dr. Rollin Becker kept the flame alive and evolved it through his writings adding influences from his connection to Kashmir Shaivism. Today, we bask in elegant articulations and precise definitions of biodynamics crafted by Dr. James Jealous. My teacher and mentor Giorgia Milne continues the transmission through the Touch of Presence School for Biodynamic Studies.
​This work honors this lineage and yet is not limited by it. The biodynamics we practice is not a treatment model. “Treatment happens” as a bi-product and on multiple levels at the same time as part of a loving, creative impulse towards Wholeness. Depth over time is how these restorative states are accessed.
