About Ritu
I listen with my hands
I am a certified advanced craniosacral therapy practitioner. I see clients in my treatment room on Kanakapura Road, beside the Art of Living International Centre, and visit people at home when they cannot travel.
How I came to this
Giving and receiving
I both give and receive craniosacral therapy, and I have noticed the same thing on each side of the table: a holistic shift, in the mind as much as the body. The system calms, the body responds, and something that was stuck starts to move.
My training asks practitioners to document their clients carefully, over many sessions, with measures before and after. I have kept that habit. It keeps me honest about what is changing, and it lets my clients see their own progress.
The body has its own supreme intelligence. It guides you towards healing. Even if the pain is in the knee, the trigger may be elsewhere, and the body knows where.
How I work
Careful, gentle, and accountable
I measure
At the first visit we choose a few things to track, such as pain, sleep, stress, or a standard migraine scale. I record them every session so we can both see what is really changing.
I keep notes
Every session is written up: what you came with, which holds I used, how your body responded. Your care builds on itself instead of starting again each time.
I work alongside your care
Many of my clients also see doctors, Ayurvedic physicians or yoga teachers. I am happy to fit in with that, and I will tell you if I think you need to see someone else.
I go at your pace
Some people talk through a session; others sleep through it. You can stop at any time, and nothing happens without your consent.
Beyond the treatment room
Next door to the ashram
My treatment room is beside the Art of Living International Centre, and many of the people I see are part of that world: sevaks, teachers, volunteers, and visitors from across India and abroad.
Many of them pair sessions with kriya, meditation or Ayurvedic care, and that combination tends to work well. Craniosacral therapy gives the body what meditation gives the mind: time to stop bracing, and room to come back to itself.
