“My mission is to provide a sacred and comfortable space in which the inner wisdom of the client can guide their own personal healing.”
Craniosacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle bodywork that works with the CranioSacral system. It helps with pain, stress, nerve issues, alignment issues, tight fascia and emotional issues.
The CranioSacral system surrounds the brain and spinal column, i.e. the nervous system. I feel for restrictive movement within the CranioSacral system, which may come from the brain or spinal column, and work to reestablish normal movement. For this, I work with whichever techniques are appropriate; myofacial release, somatic emotional release, visceral releases, brain releases, and lymphatic drainage releases.

Helps with anxiety and depression
Following an accident, a surgery, or a traumatic experience it helps to rebalance our bodies so that we can heal faster
Emotions that are held in our tissues can be addressed (emotional release). Often, we hold emotions in our body. It may feel unsafe to express them. These can affect the way that our body functions, as well as our outlook on life. Our mind/body relationship goes hand in hand, and so working with our emotions with CranioSacral Therapy may be a necessary part of our healing process.
