Healing Touch

Craniosacral therapy is my true love! And honestly, it’s challenging to describe. The best way to explain it is to experience it.

It utilizes the healing power of touch. And touch is primal. It’s one of our senses, and it’s really the first one we understand at an instinctual level that lets us know we’re safe. Before sights, sounds, smells, or taste, there’s touch; the reassuring touch that we’re not alone, that we’re held, that we are loved.

CST is a hybrid of bodywork and energy work. It’s powerful, safe, and extremely gentle.

If you want the nerdy-wordy history and science head to the blog.

Safe & Gentle

CST is safe for almost anyone with very few contraindications. It’s helpful for anything from birth recovery, back pain and digestive issues, to anxiety, PTSD, TMJ, migraines, vertigo, autoimmune conditions, foot problems (of which I specialize) and more.

It works with the whole body, as well as the source(s) of pain and dysfunction. Because, let’s face it, the whole body is connected.

Just because we sprained our ankle doesn’t mean we only experience that pain in our ankle. We have to walk differently now, so that changes how we bear our weight, which changes how our hips align; maybe we need crutches, so now our shoulders are scrunched; now maybe we have a headache, then we don’t sleep as well…you see what I’m getting at. The body does this kind of maneuvering all the time with a myriad of stressors (mental, emotional, physical), from the acute to the chronic.

Individualized

With craniosacral therapy I treat you as a distinct individual. I get in touch with your body and give it the support it needs to unwind its dysfunctional patterns, physically and energetically, to move you back into an expression of health.

Sometimes this can mean that even though two patients are coming in for depression, where that originates or is held in the body can be in the pelvis with patient A, or in the jaw with patient B!

Our bodies are masters of redistributing tension and function. It’s my job to listen, translate, guide, and inevitably invite each body to its next realization of health.
