Cranial Sacral Therapy

Cranial Scaral Therapy

Cranial treatments are gentle hands-on manipulation for the cranial system—focusing on the bones of the head, the membranes that cover the brain, the spinal column and the life fluids of this system. The goal is to provide the best home for the tissues of the central nervous system and to maximize the movement of the fluids that nourish, feed and communicate with this system.

This work is gentle, subtle and noninvasive. Cranial work helps normalize the body structure. The hands-on touch allows the body to unwind so it can come to its full function, increasing the body's ability to be accurate in function while optimizing and enhancing genetic expression. Children change quickly and respond beautifully to this work. Many mothers and babies can experience trauma from the birth process. Early intervention can help normalize health and help establish the foundation for a life of wellness and optimum health. Many childhood health challenges can be addressed with pediatric cranial work.

I came to craniosacral work through my work as an internationally board certified lactation consultant. Looking for more "tools" in my box to help the babies I began studying with the Upledger Institute. I am trained in CranioSacral Therapy and Lymphatic Drainage.

Working with my own children and clients convinces me that Infant Massage and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) are profoundly effective in fostering more "ease" in the body. I am certified in both and have more information, including testimonials, on my website.

My passion is to provide safe, therapeutic massage and bodywork to women, children and infants. I also love equipping parents to help their own children. Craniosacral Therapy has given me another effective yet gentle tool to use when helping families.
