About Us

Madeleine Barnes

Health is always present. Reconnection to health occurs when the body is truly heard. CST has its roots in Osteopathy but uses no manipulation. Rather, a gentle touch that interacts with deeply subtle rhythms and impulses in the body to assist with self-repair.

Some people come for regular, constitutional sessions having experienced what CST can offer.  Others come with conditions as diverse as dental issues, IBS, hormonal imbalances, PTSD, chronic fatigue, tinnitus, whiplash, sleep disorders, RSI as well as back, neck and joint pains. 

CST promotes a sense of wellbeing on physical, mental and emotional levels from which the ups and downs of life can best be lived, unhindered by low energy, recurring illness, chronic pain or anxiety.

I love what I do!

Madeleine is a proud member of:

I’ve been coming to Madeleine for about one year and I’ve had a great experience. I feel better and my appointments have become an essential part of my self-care routine. Highly recommend!

Madeleine is thoroughly trained in this therapy and widely experienced in its application. She is attentive and considerate. Being now 87 years of age, I’m having treatment for a number of conditions, particularly for balance and posture. During my first session with Madeleine the feeling was of a figure sculpted from ice beginning to thaw as the feet tingled and throbbed with vitality. After the second session it was as if I had received a new lease of life. I’ve now been blessed with five sessions, and my physical setup feels better every time. It’s work in progress. And very good progress!

I came to see Madeleine Barnes here and had a wonderful experience. I had pulled a muscle in my neck which was agony, but I felt so much better afterwards. Madeleine is very considerate and gentle in her approach, and great at listening, as well as talented at performing the treatment. The centre itself is also great - a calm oasis in a tucked away corner of central London. Will definitely be back.

After a car accident, I turned to craniosacral therapy and found that it really helped my body to process the effects of the trauma. Aligning head and body whilst being calmly supported is a gentle way for enabling the healing process. Madeleine is a sympathetic listener, to me and also to what the body is telling us. The therapy is now giving reassurance during eye treatment and long bouts at the dentist. Surprising - and happy thanks!

Just wanted to say big thank you for Madeleine and make everyone aware that her craniosacral therapy does miracles. It is definitely worth going on that journey of understanding your body and what it wants to tell us, for letting that stagnation go away and feeling life joy coming back no matter what you are going through. "After the last session I felt hungry - everything tasted delicious but there were also hard feelings but I could identify where the source of frustration was coming from. I felt calmer for the past week and periods are usually painful for the first two days but this time there was no pain. The tension I have carried for so long in my neck, shoulders and back feels lighter - it’s not so heavy any more. I felt like I would always carry something there forever but the whole body feels lighter now." Thank you Madeleine for the new feeling and new horizons opening up for me. I have that sensation that everything will turn out to be fine, perhaps even amazing🙏
