Into The Flow
This gentle touch method supports the body's nervous system and helps people integrate stress. Sessions are held in a, well-ventilated space with open windows.
I am often asked, "What is Craniosacral Therapy?"
Join me for a glimpse into how I use Craniosacral Therapy to help people move away the aches, pains, and stresses of life allowing them to use their energy to enjoy more and be more present.
What is Craniosacral Work?
Craniosacral is a gentle, light-touch method that relieves stress and restores balance to the body by supporting people's nervous systems.
Your craniosacral system is made up of the bones, connective tissues, nerves, and fluids, of your cranium (skull) and spinal area.
How Can it help?
Craniosacral work helps people overcome health issues that include back pain, whiplash, headaches, chronic injury, insomnia, depression, stress, and anxiety.
The method can be used alone or in conjunction with other modalities, including EMDR, Trauma Resolution Therapy, Somatic treatments, Acupuncture, and Transformational Coaching to help people improve their quality of life.
Craniosacral helps people to overcome:
Anxiety
Arthritis
Asthma
Back Pain/Sciatica
Birth Trauma
Depression
Digestive Disorders
Exhaustion
Immune System Disorders
Insommnia
Headaches
Stress
Sports-related Injury
Post-operative conditions
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Tinnitus & Middle Ear problems
TMJ (Jaw) disorders
Visual disturbances
Whiplash
What else?
Relieve stress and improve coping mechanisms
stress, trauma, and illness restrict the natural flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the body and Craniosacral work helps people restore that flow, enabling the body to alleviate the aches, pains, and strains of life.
Strengthen the Body's Immune System
Science has shown that stress causes the body's immune system to weaken, making people more susceptible to illness. Craniosacral Work supports people's central nervous systems to strengthen the immune system and build resilience against illness and fatigue.
Work with other Therapies
Craniosacral Work can be used alone or in conjunction with other healing methods including Trauma Resolution therapy, EMDR, Psychotherapy, Somatic treatments, Acupuncture, Massage, and medicine work. Craniosacral helps people reconnect with parts of themselves that may have become vulnerable due to trauma, injury, or illness so that they can free up their energy to enjoy more of their lives.
