Are you exhausted from physical or emotional stress that doesn’t seem to go away?

You are not alone!

Perhaps you're struggling to recover from surgery or illness or are trying to cope with chronic pain. Or maybe you're frustrated with challenges such as:

  • Migraines and Headaches

  • Pelvic Pain and Dysfunction

  • TMJ

  • Concussions

  • Menopausal Issues

  • Chronic Stress and Exhaustion

  • Feeling "Disconnected" from Your Body

When you are suffering, you need more than just relief from your symptoms. You need:​

  • A gentle solution that helps you release long-held patterns of pain and increase your energy.

  • The ability to feel your body’s internal signals while they whisper, not shout.

  • A healthcare specialist who sees you as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) addresses core issues rather than symptoms. CST works to bring balance back to the whole body by releasing chronic tension patterns and enhancing fluid motility allowing the body’s own healing mechanisms to operate more effectively. 

By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. 

A CST session is performed with the client fully clothed, lying on a comfortable massage table. ​​CST is safe and effective for infants, children and adults of all ages.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, light-touch approach that releases tensions in the central nervous system to allow every other system in the body to relax and self-correct. 

What does all this mean to you?

  • Relief from Pain

  • Stress Release and Deep Relaxation

  • Better Sleep

  • A Greater Sense of Control Over Your Life

  • New Insights from Your Body About What You Need to Feel Happy, Whole, and Alive

Together, we bring your body back to physical and emotional balance with better flow and more ease.

  • SomatoEmotional Release® (SER) is a manual therapy process developed by Dr. Upledger that expands on the core principles of CST to help rid the body of residual effects of past trauma and negative emotional experiences.

    Using an unbiased communication method based on curiosity, openness, and imagery, you become more mindful about your own body-mind-spirit and are able to access deep, self-healing resources.

  • The techniques for freeing the Avenue of Expression have been shown to:

    ​• Facilitate the ability to articulate, communicate, and speak ones truth.

    • Improve swallowing, breathing, teeth alignment, and temporomandibular mobility.

    • Assist the release of structural issues, such as cervical, lumbar, and pelvic dysfunctions.

    • Support the therapeutic capacity for imagery and dialogue.

    • Be an essential aspect of SomatoEmotional Release® (SER)

    • Enhance self-awareness.
