Moya Bodywork

Welcome, I’m Moya…. a Biodyanmic Craniosacral Therapist and Massage Therapist based In South East Cornwall

I’ve always been drawn to working with people. My career began in care work and later in social work — roles that taught me so much about compassion, resilience, and the complexity of human experience. Alongside this, I’ve long held a deep interest in complementary health and wellbeing practices, sensing that healing can take many forms beyond the purely clinical.

While working as a social worker, I trained in holistic massage and offered treatments alongside my role. Eventually, the demands of the job began to take their toll — physically, mentally, and emotionally. It was during this time that I discovered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST). This gentle yet profound therapy supported me in a way nothing else had. It quite literally helped me find myself again.

That experience was life-changing. As I continued with sessions, I began to recognise how much unresolved trauma my body had been holding. With the steady support of my therapist, I slowly began to feel whole again — not just functioning, but living with more presence, softness, and self-understanding.

As Peter Levine writes, “Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.”

Inspired by this healing journey, I followed the call to train in Biodynamoc Craniosacral  Therapy myself. Today, I BCST and holistic massage, working with people of all ages to support nervous system regulation, emotional balance, and embodied wellbeing.
