Welcome to Luminessence
CranioSacral Therapy & Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
“My mission is to support the body’s natural capacity for balance, ease, and well-being through gentle, compassionate CranioSacral Therapy. I work with adults, infants, and children, creating a safe and nurturing space where the body can soften, release tension, and find greater freedom and comfort.
I have a special place in my heart for working with moms and babies, helping them to release tension and supporting them as they begin their journey in life. I believe that offering little ones a gentle, nurturing start is a beautiful way to support their comfort, development, and well-being.
Whether working with a newborn, a child, or an adult, my intention is to listen to the body with sensitivity and respect, honour each person’s unique needs, and support them in finding greater ease, balance, and connection within themselves.”
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.

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.
