CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

AND

SOMATOEMOTIONAL RELEASE

WELCOME

Greetings and thank you for your interest!

 

To quote Dr. John Upledger, "Get out of your head and into your body and let's see what the system knows how to do."

 

If you’re curious about CranioSacral Therapy -OR- someone has suggested you give it a try...in brief - it is a hands-on non-invasive, light touch therapy.   

It can relieve tensions on the central nervous system and help improve how the whole-body functions.

 

I treat folks from 1 day old to 80+ years around the sun!! 

 

I am always willing to take time for a phone call to answer any questions and to hear about what is bringing you to Craniosacral Therapy, so please don't hesitate to reach out.

"Every treatment protocol should be dictated by the wisdom of the patients own body"

What is CranioSacral Therapy

     CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method that engages the CranioSacral System, a unified, whole-being system reflecting the integration of physical structures, physiological rhythms, and energetic processes.  Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, practitioners release restrictions in the CranioSacral System, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems in the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more.  CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression and anxiety.

     By facilitation the bodies innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventative health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and dysfunction, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms, including:

​

-Chronic Pain                                                       -Pediatric Challenges    

-Migraines and Headaches                                  -Conception, Pregnancy, Birth

-Stress and Tension related problems                  -Colic, Trouble Settling, Constipation in Babies

-TMJ Pain                                                             -Breastfeeding Challenges

-Dental Chanllenges                                             -Difficult or Traumatic Births (for baby and Mom)

-PTSD                                                                   -Sensory Processing Disorder

-Concussions and Brain Injuries                            -Autism

-Emotional Difficulties, Depression, Anxiety           -Central Nervous System Disorder

-Chronic Fatigue                                                     -Sleep Challenges

-Post-Surgical Dysfunction                                      -Accident and Injury Recovery

-Learning Differences, ADD, ADHD                         -Intergenerational Trauma

What is SomatoEmotional Release

     SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process that expands on the principles of CST to help a person rid their body of the residual effects of past injuries, traumas and negative experiences. Physical forces enter a person's body at the time of accidents, injuries or traumas.  The body may immediately begin dissipating these forces and the natural healing process will begin, or the forces imposed on the body may be retained rather than dissipated.  The body often rertains the emotional energy along with the physical forces into a localized concentrated area. This area is called an "energy cyst". The body will accommodate for the presence of the energy cyst, but over time the body weakens or tires from the accommodation and can develop symptoms of pain, dysfunction, or emotional stress.

     SER facilitates a gentle process for releasing tissue memory, helping the person to decrease the adverse effects of past traumas.  There is vast research to show that a change in physical health is accompanied by a change in mental health, and it is equally documented that the reverse is apparent.  SER is a holistic mind-body approach that may also assist a person gaining insight as to how that held trauma is influencing their physical and emotional health.  SER can support the transition from dysfunction and unresolved issues towards wellness and optimal function.
