Scott Oda is one of those unique and powerful individuals who truly embodies the essence of his work as a healer. Whether in consultation or on the treatment table, time spent with Scott brings forth a sense of positive energy and connection on all levels. I started working with Scott because of chronic neck pain which was effecting my work and life (especially my surfing). Scott took the time to really tune into the source of the pain and initiated a process of healing that was both subtle and powerful, immediate and long term, multilayered and really insightful. One of the outcomes is that I am surfing pain free for the first time in a year, and this alone has had a hugely positive impact on my life. Thanks Scott! - Chip Richards, Byron Bay, NSW
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has been a key component of my personal health and well-being for over a decade. As a stand alone or complementary therapy, I find CST both cultivates and supports the natural balance of the body, encouraging and restoring natural alignment and igniting the inherent wellness of the body. As with all therapies that require both technical knowledge and skill as well as acute sensitivity, the right practitioner is critical. In this regard, I highly recommend Scott Oda. Scott’s approach is both sincere and proficient and his love and respect for his work engenders the distinct sense that you are quite literally in safe hands. Scott’s work would be a valuable addition to any wellness mission. - Sally, Broken Head, NSW
Having experienced several biodynamic craniosacral therapy sessions with Scott, I can thoroughly recommend his work as exceptional. He truly has a listening touch, and at the same time holds a neutral, spacious environ, allowing for the health of the person to come forward in safety. What I am left with from his work is a deep grounding, centring, and ultimately a strengthening, healing quality throughout out my system. This is probably the most holistic method I have experienced. Definitely a modality for health and wellbeing throughout one's life. - Susie King, Feldenkrais Practitioner & Teacher, Brisbane, QLD
I have found sessions with Scott to be incredible. Not only has my nervous system unwound profoundly, but my organs have started to release stored tension, giving me a more visceral experience in everyday life. Scott holds a beautiful space of stillness that has allowed my body the space to unfold with it's own natural intelligence. - Chad Beckett, Movement and Voice Practitioner, Mullumbimby, NSW
In such a busy world, with busy lives, I really value having a space held for my "whole self"......emotional, physical, mental, energetic, and beyond to unwind and realign. It is undeniable and almost inexplicable the shifts I am experiencing in myself through having regular sessions with Scott. As my nervous system unwinds, and old tensions, traumas, and holdings release, I feel like a whole part of me is waking up! I feel more embodied, clear, and able to respond to life as it constantly moves and changes. I feel like I have found the perfect modality, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, combined with the right practitioner, that truly resonate with my whole being. - Cindy, Byron Bay NSW
I have been having treatments from Scott for several months now and really feel the benefit. When Scott places his "hands on" me, my body very rapidly responds to his holding, healing energy. I feel my gut connect, grounding in my body occurs, and I gradually fill up with centred alive energy. In this process any internal blockages become apparent and begin to shift and enable energy flow throughout my body. I gradually feel myself getting more and more out of my head and into my body. The space Scott holds is sacred, safe, silent and profound. I have become more aware of my behavioural patterns and have been able to release considerable tension from within my being. I recommend Scott's work without hesitation. - Victoria Parsons, Montecollum, NSW
Of all the healing modalities I have experienced over the years without a question the most potent and life changing has been biodynamic craniosacral work. Nothing has gone deeper or brought about such rapid and significant positive change. The efficacy of biodynamic craniosacral work came as a surprise and its potency has left me filled with much gratitude. Without question Scott is an accomplished practitioner. I recommend him highly. And I recommend this work to anyone who has tried it all and just not gotten the help they deeply desire. - Mark S. Kellenbeck, Ashland Oregon, USA
I have been benefitting from restorative sessions of Craniosacral Therapy from Scott Oda every week or two, for the past six months, as I turned ninety. The fleeting quality of life makes life precious; Scott’s work helps me to live in the present moment; inviting me to constantly adapt to diminished balance, strength and memory. Scott is remarkably calm and present. His touch is respectful and unusually subtle. His hands feel un-moving, and yet after a time I often notice an influence deep inside my body; a femur seems to rotate in its socket every so slightly, as if without moving; I feel a sensation linking one part of the body to another; there is a tingling or buzzing in a part of my body I never perceived before. Scott helps bring my nervous system back into alignment, allowing me to adapt body and mind to present needs and challenges. On the table I sense I am collaborating as I link, scan and track from within. With Scott’s help I am achieving an increased Presence, informed by sensations of joy and well being in my body. This pervasive joy has drawn me to practicing Qi-Gong at home five days a week when I’m not in Thai Chi/QiGong class. - John Fisher-Smith, Community Elder, Ashland Oregon, USA
I happened to be scheduled for a cranial sacral appointment with Scott in the latter part of an afternoon, when that morning I was severely rear-ended in a car accident. After being taken to the emergency room and released several hours later, a friend of mine took me to my appointment with Scott. To have him help me with that first level of trauma on that same day was heaven sent, Calming my nervous system and helping my body to begin it’s healing repair. I worked with Scott over the next 3 months. His work was a significant support to my body's healing process. I highly recommend his powerfully therapeutic work, and I am immensely grateful! Thank you Scott! - Bonnie L Pfieffer, Voice Dialogue Teacher And Facilitator, Ashland Oregon, USA
