Gentle work with the body and nervous system, in a safe space, in stillness, and at your body’s own pace.
Sign up for notificationsWe live in a system that doesn’t support nervous system regulation, caught in constant rush, sensory overload, and the demand to be "always available," which disconnects us from the signals our bodies send. My interest in somatic work grew from a need to find a real way out of this state. I wanted to understand how to safely break the stress loop and restore a natural sense of calm.
I see people holistically: body, mind, and emotions as one system. Before I could support others, I had to face my own history held in the body. Years of working with my own tension patterns and a sustained mindfulness practice taught me that the body carries both the traces of difficult experiences and the natural wisdom needed for their integration.
This led me to biodynamic craniosacral therapy, an approach in which I don’t "fix." I create a safe space where your body sets its own priorities and pace for returning to health. I focus on attentive accompaniment in your process, because the body regenerates most fully in stillness, awareness, and trust.
I am in the final phase of certification at the European Centre for Therapy, the first biodynamic craniosacral therapy school in Poland. The programme is based on the approach of Franklyn Sills and includes over a year of intensive study covering embryology, anatomy, physiology, and contemporary trauma science, as well as a minimum of 150 clinical sessions. I regularly submit my work for supervision and continuously develop my skills through advanced training. I am also an active member of the Centrum Kenaz Foundation.
Learn to read symptoms not only as problems to be overcome but as messages to be heeded.
A gentle form of somatic work that supports the organism in returning to its natural balance. It draws from the osteopathic tradition, focusing on attentive accompaniment of the body in its movement toward health. The therapist creates a safe space where your system can slow down and access its own capacity for regeneration.
Unlike mechanical methods, I don’t try to "fix" the body from the outside. My role is to support the inner forces of health and vitality that are naturally present in your system. Through gentle contact, I help the nervous system regain access to these resources, allowing the body to release deep tension patterns and restore its natural harmony on its own.
In the biodynamic approach, we see the human being as a whole. Physical pain, chronic anxiety, exhaustion, or a feeling of being "stuck" can all be signals that the entire system is overloaded. That’s why I don’t focus only on symptoms; I support the stability of the whole organism. This is a process that serves not only the easing of discomfort, but also building resilience and a deeper connection with yourself.
In the rush of daily life, we rarely have a chance to truly stop. During a session, I create conditions in which the nervous system can leave its defensive mode and enter a state of deep calm. In this stillness, the body can renew its resources and regulate what has been disrupted.
Your body has a natural wisdom and capacity for returning to health, which it sometimes loses through excessive stress or traumatic experiences. The therapy doesn’t impose solutions from outside; it helps the body regain access to this inner balance, at a pace that feels safe for you.
Whether you come with pain or for prevention, health is always present in your body. During the work, I focus on strengthening those healthy areas and vitality. When the organism feels stronger and more stable, it naturally handles the challenges of everyday life.
Difficult experiences, stress, and emotions often become stored in the body as stiffness, blockages, or chronic fatigue. Through gentle work, the therapy creates conditions in which these old tension patterns can gradually dissolve. This may restore not only freedom in the body, but also lightness and peace of mind.
In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them.
In the biodynamic approach, we see the human being as one inseparable whole. The physical body, emotions, and nervous system are treated as interconnected vessels that work together toward health. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, calm in stress, or deep regeneration and strengthened vitality, this method supports a return to natural balance.
A constant feeling of being "on edge," difficulty letting go of control, and a sense that your system is permanently in alarm mode, even when you’re resting. Neurotic states, nervous tension, or a general sense of unwellness with no clear cause can all signal that your nervous system needs support.
Difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night, morning fatigue. When the nervous system is stuck in vigilance mode, deep rest becomes impossible. This also applies to chronic fatigue syndrome, when exhaustion persists despite rest.
States of tension, a vague sense of threat or excessive activation that doesn’t let up even in a safe environment. This may include panic attacks or symptoms of post-traumatic stress (PTSD). The therapy helps the nervous system rebuild a foundational sense of safety.
Burnout, depression, a feeling of emptiness. When everyday rest is no longer enough, the body needs deeper settling to begin rebuilding its strength.
Accidents, surgeries, sudden losses, difficult medical experiences. You don’t need to talk about them. I work with what appears in the body here and now.
A sensation of "living in your head," emotional numbness, or difficulty sensing your own boundaries. This is often a sign that the system has shifted into protective shutdown.
Sciatica, femoral or brachial neuralgia, tingling and numbness in the limbs, tics. Deep tension often lies behind these complaints, holding the body in rigidity. As it begins to release, natural elasticity and freedom of movement return.
Recurring headaches or migraines that persist despite various attempts at relief often stem from deep, hard-to-reach tension. The therapy supports the body in gently releasing this tension, bringing relief where other methods may not reach.
The temporomandibular joint is a site of accumulated stress. The therapy helps relax this area, which often also brings relief to neck and shoulder pain.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, chronic constipation. The digestive system is closely linked to the nervous system. When the nervous system settles, gut function often returns to its natural rhythm.
Tinnitus, dizziness, sinus problems, recurring ear infections. Supporting the whole system and settling the nervous system may bring relief from these complaints.
For mothers whose body and nervous system need support after the intense experience of birth. The therapy helps restore balance after hormonal changes, find calm, and reconnect with the body in a new role.
The aftermath of accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Post-concussion states, recovery after fractures and sprains. After an injury, the body doesn’t always return to full balance on its own and may need gentle support.
Widespread musculoskeletal pain, hypersensitivity to touch, chronic fatigue. When pain has no clear organic cause, it is often an expression of nervous system overload. The therapy supports its settling and gradual desensitisation.
Regular sessions work like "training" for the nervous system, teaching it to move fluidly between activation and rest before overload sets in. This also supports a weakened immune system and recovery after illness or surgery.
Biodynamic therapy is an excellent complement to psychotherapeutic work. It allows the body to integrate what has been named and understood at the cognitive level.
Breakups, grief, career changes. In periods of major destabilisation, the therapy offers a safe anchor and helps the system find new ground.
For those who want to feel themselves more deeply, understand signals from the body, and cultivate greater presence in everyday life.
The list above is only a set of reference points. At the heart of this method is always your individual experience and the unique needs of your body. If you feel you need support but don’t see an exact description of your situation here, please get in touch. Biodynamic therapy often brings relief in states that are difficult to define.
Health is never lost; it centers our experience.
approx. 10 min
Conversation
We begin by talking about how you’re feeling, any complaints, and your expectations. This is a time for questions and building a sense of safety, the foundation of the entire session.
approx. 30–40 min
Hands-on work
The session takes place lying down, fully clothed. Before I place my hands, I always ask for your consent. My touch is light and supportive. It’s more an act of deep listening than a mechanical intervention. This gives your body a safe support that may help release tension and return to balance. You can read about how the body may respond to this work in the section below.
approx. 5–10 min
Integration
After the work is done, I give you a moment to slowly "come back". There’s no rush. Then we talk about what you experienced. I may suggest next steps.
During a session, the body may respond in various ways, sometimes noticeably, sometimes very subtly. Below I describe the most common experiences. Remember: if anything concerns you, you can always tell me.
You may experience a sudden feeling of warmth or cold, tingling, energy flows, or pulsation. Involuntary muscle tremors often appear, a sign that the nervous system is "discharging" frozen stress. If a sensation becomes too intense, we can pause or redirect attention to what feels safe and stable in the body.
Sometimes deep relaxation is accompanied by emotions or memories. You don’t need to analyse them. If difficult states arise, I’m here to support you. I’ll help you move through these experiences safely and integrate them, so they bring relief rather than overwhelm.
A frequent experience during a session is deep relaxation, a feeling of heaviness in the body, and drowsiness. Many people drift into a state between waking and sleep, or simply fall asleep.
Sometimes during a session no clear signal appears. No distinct sensations, emotions, or images. This doesn’t mean the therapy isn’t working. Work at the level of the nervous system can be subtle and hard to perceive in the moment. Many people notice changes only after the session: better sleep, calmer breathing, less tension in the body.
In biodynamic therapy, safety is not an add-on — it is the foundation of all the work. My approach is rooted in gentleness and complete non-invasiveness. Every element of the session is designed so that the nervous system can recognise signals of safety and gradually open.
Before the first session, I conduct a brief health interview to make sure the therapy is safe for you.
The foundation of the biodynamic approach: in this tradition, we believe that health is never lost. I orient towards the vital forces and natural health resources present in the organism, even in the face of illness. The body sets the direction of the work. The therapist follows its wisdom, never imposing their own plan.
Before addressing deeper tension, I build foundations, strengthening the sense of safety, grounding, and body contact. Resources are internal "anchors": a feeling of stability, warmth, support. These are what allow us to work with challenges without the risk of overwhelm.
Safety grows from the quality of contact. I enter a state of deep, neutral presence, creating a calm space in which your nervous system recognises signals of safety and begins to regulate.
The body has its own inner wisdom and its own processing time. Rather than imposing a pace, I follow the natural dynamics of your system. I give space for healing processes to unfold organically, in stillness, trust, and at the moment your body is ready.
Biodynamic therapy is one of the gentlest forms of bodywork. I use no manipulations, pressure, or corrections. For this reason, the list of contraindications is short. They mainly concern acute states requiring immediate medical intervention, and situations where changes in cerebrospinal fluid pressure could be risky. When in doubt, it’s always best to consult your doctor.
Recent stroke, brain haemorrhage, aneurysm rupture, or cerebral oedema. In the acute phase, when intracranial pressure is unstable, therapy is contraindicated. Once the condition has stabilised (usually after 6–8 weeks and with medical clearance), this work can be valuable rehabilitation support.
Fresh skull fractures and active cerebrospinal fluid leaks (e.g., after trauma or lumbar puncture). We wait until the tissues have healed to avoid disrupting the natural process of structural repair.
Brainstem herniation or acute meningitis (e.g., from infection) require immediate hospitalisation. Therapy is only possible after the inflammatory condition has been fully resolved.
Advanced Arnold-Chiari malformation (displacement of brain structures into the spinal canal) or unstabilised hydrocephalus. In such cases, a prior neurological consultation is necessary to confirm the safety of working with bodily fluids.
Active psychosis, manic episode, or severe depression with self-harm tendencies. Somatic therapy releases emotions and therefore requires stable psychological "ground." In such moments, specialist psychiatric care takes priority.
The therapy relies on precise communication with the nervous system. Alcohol, drugs, or strong consciousness-altering medications (taken shortly before a session) make it impossible to establish clear therapeutic contact.
For our physiology to calm down, heal, and grow we need a visceral feeling of safety.
“Excellently conducted therapy!”
“Maciek has magic hands that effectively mobilise the body to release emotional stagnation. The session took place in a safe and warm atmosphere — I felt cared for at every stage. I didn’t expect that in 30 minutes you could achieve such significant results working with emotions through the body. I felt free flow throughout my whole body, a release of blockages, and on top of that an expanded range of awareness. Highly recommend.”
“Incredibly interesting experience and sensations. I recommend it to everyone. Maciej’s full focus on the patient and professionalism throughout the entire therapy.”
“This was my first visit of this kind, and yet I had the opportunity to feel comfortable and relaxed enough to let my body fully unwind. You can sense real professionalism — not the quantity but the quality of movements, very subtle and intuitive. The whole thing is preceded and followed by a conversation, which makes the therapy personalised to the patient. Highly recommend.”
approx. 50–60 min (incl. approx. 30–40 min hands-on work)
