PureCranio uses a gentle hands-on touch

PureCranio applies hands-on techniques and silent and/or spoken dialogue to address physical, emotional, somato-emotional, or systemic issues and restrictions.

PureCranio sessions are ...

In PureCranio sessions we follow the movements of the tissues on a deep level, allowing us to find where the flow is blocked or hindered. This describes the difference with massage where the masseur or masseuse moves the tissues. The difference in effect on the central nervous system is big.

Allowing the flow through the affected tissue to restore itself (often tissue becomes warm when it dissipates blocked energy) supports the healing. PureCranio supports a better flow and a deeper and different relaxation. PureCranio works on the physical, energetical and systemic level, often simultaneously and involves both body and the bodymind.

For example:

A broken or bruised sacrum happens to most of us without even knowing about it. From 30 yrs experience I know that this may be the cause of nervousness, years later. The explanation and the solution are thus almost purely physical.

A tissue that stores tensions for any emotional reason demands compensation elsewhere in the body, often also in the bodymind, often resulting in an opinion that keeps us away from a healing process.

Sessions take on average one hour

Please wear comfortable clothes, no belts, necklaces, watches etc., switch off the phone.

PureCranio sessions are generally 'request' based

You are asked to formulate your request before or at the start of a session. Your request serves as a guideline to find causes for the issue that you wish to address and to improve. We are trained in helping to formulate a request in case you find it difficult to talk about yourself and your request. All information is confidential.

PureCranio 'open sessions' without a request

An Open Session starts without a formulated request. The clients' nervous system guides the session and takes client and practitioner 'by the hand' to a place where attention is needed. In a state of deep calmness the nervous system uses the opportunity to release itself from a tension. With an Open Session we will know the choice when it appears. These sessions are deeply relaxing and releasing.

One practitioner or two practitioners? PureCranio Multiple Hands sessions

PureCranio Sessions are usually provided by one practicioner, but we offer the possibility to have a multiple hands session.

What does that mean and what is the difference?

Multiple Hands Sessions are especially beneficial for complex restrictions with root causes which are hard to find; two or three experienced practitioners (upon request) offer through a Multiple Hands Session a unique potential to invite and integrate releases from very persistent (including transgenerational) restrictions and issues.

PureCranio Multiple Hands Sessions stand out from the mainstream approach to either cranio or systemic work because PureCranio integrates Craniosacral Techniques and Dialogue, Systemic Work, Somato Emotional Release, Shiatsu in one session. Multiple hands sessions are more intensive and generally take more than one hour.

Sessions with two practitioners are more intensive while combining the individually unique craniosacral approach of each practitioner.

Stari Grad (Hvar), Šibenik, Dorfen (Germany)

Individual sessions with one practitioner (Stan Coenders) are offered in Stari Grad. At present Multiple Hands Sessions are offered in Šibenik on appointment and with Kathi Gaigl, KraftOrt Dorfen, (near Munich) 2 times per year. Ask for details if you are interested to join the research project.

After the session - Allow for integration

Go for a walk, a swim, into nature, have a tea ... no alcohol; and no drugs, and a good night sleep after a session is necessary. You may experience a reaction after initial improvement: the release of deep blockades may lead to experiences similar to the cause before ongoing improvement can happen: A cause needs to surface in order to vanish. Don't hesitate to call or email us in case you have questions.

Keep your diagnose up to date

Inform us about contra indications

A session does not replace the need for regular medical care in the classic sense, will not give you a diagnosis nor advice about (dis-) continuation with medicine or medical care. Please keep your diagnoses updated through a regular check with your medical doctor. Please inform us before the sessions about chronic (+3 months) or acute physical trauma or operations, especially involving head and spine, or such as protheses, shunts, etc.

We deal with all sorts of 'impossible' and 'vague' complaints. Not seldom we find the event that lies at the cause of a restriction and a natural balance can be restored. This is an important step towards deeper relaxation.

Stan Coenders followed Upledger Classes, included the BioMechanic approach and focuses on Craniosacral Relaxation - This form of Relaxation has a deeper meaning as it helps to restore the authentic homeostasis of body and mind.

PureCranio is a continuous development based on 25 years of experience in many settings and culturally different environments. PureCranio promotes integration of various approaches to address various levels within one request.

If you are tired or exhausted: Reset and Rebalance

A PureCranio session is a rebalancing reset and a boost for your energy and immune system! It helps you to recover from various types of stress, physical and/or mental. For many it is a first time wonder and once you get its benefits it becomes normal to have a session once in a while.

To treat a lesion or restriction with a direct cause

A pain may have many causes. In case of a direct cause like a fall with the bicycle for instance we can help to speed up the healing process with a variety local unwinding techniques. Such techniques have also a relaxing effect on the whole body and the mind.

To treat restrictions with indirect causes, and/or vague persistent restrictions

Chronic headache, backpain, or idiopathic conditions are often symptoms that rarely point direct to their cause. A headache may have a cause in the back or even in the feet, and the cause for backache may be in the jaws. Any cause may have happened years and years back and be long forgotten, or based on a decision once made and long forgotten! Your body always gave you the best possible support, even though that may involve that headache. Bodies and minds are amazing! And Purecranio helps to remember, rebalance, and to let go.

If a cause is (partly) systemic

We may suggest to use systemic work approaches during a hands on session; but sometimes it is best to assess the issue in a systemic work session, either individual or in a group setting.

We are experienced listeners, observers, with eyes, ears and hands - on touch

In two sessions we will know if we can influence the restriction. Often we find forgotten traumas, very old forgotten accidents and events that need a release; then the tension is more easily accessible and treatable. Cranio sessions usually bring the client into a deep relaxation before the restriction can be adressed.

With Respect

In PureCranio sessions we respect both the principles of self healing and the request of the client. Clients are requested to keep their medical diagnoses up to date. By no means we engage in discussions about diagnoses or medication. In PureCranio workshops and classes we teach how to work with the inherent principles of both approaches; there we find that possibilities are without borders and next to find the borders of 'the genre' we chose to live in. Awareness expands, choice remains with ourselves.

Sessions and workshops/classes aim to activate and enhance the self healing capacity of your body and mind, to lead to a new vision, insight and from there to a solution for the restriction that brought you to a session.

Sensing a deep relaxation is half the work … to accept and integrate the relaxation the other half. It's worth the journey!

PureCranio starts from

knowledge about anatomy and physiology and extends into more subtle levels, but in all cases relies on a logic and comprehensible approach. Pure Cranio uses the principles as outlined by A.T. Still and William G. Sutherland since 1870, to understand and enhance the self healing capacities of your mind and body. PureCranio is holistic. We are trained to sense cranio-sacral rhythms, the waves caused by the production of brainfluid in the ventricles in the cranium. These waves are transmitted through the spinal dura to the sacrum. These gentle persistent waves can be sensed through the whole body and serve as an indicator for restrictions, at places where (for instance) such a restriction provides a limit for a cranio sacral rhythm. This is the simple explanation ... We are trained to sense a complex of influences within the whole body and the fields around and its responses to the healing Intelligence of Brain Fluid as described by A.T. Still and W.G. Sutherland.
