If you're ready to start feeling great again, I would be honored to help support you on the path to greater comfort and wholeness within your sacred self.
CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a soothing, light-touch method of bodywork that stems from the manual healing work of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field. Using subtle and attuned touch, CST supports the body's central nervous system and entire fascial structure to release stress, recover from strain and injury, and restore balance holistically. Regular sessions support the greatest outcome with a weekly, biweekly, or monthly rhythm.
SOMATOEMOTIONAL RELEASE
Whether you're recovering from recent or not-so-recent surgery, emotional or spiritual injury or loss, or processing varying types of trauma, gentle SomatoEmotional Release (SER) as a component of Craniosacral Therapy sessions can be a powerfully supportive addition to your personal healing process. Together we presence the body and be with the emotional/mental layer of bodily holding patterns, as well as the structural, fluid, and energetic layers of the self. We do this in an orientation of spaciousness and respect for what is there, and invite opportunity for transformation and movement forward.
HOLISTIC DEPTH MASSAGE
