I am often asked, "What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Join me for a glimpse into how I use Craniosacral Therapy to help people move away from the aches, pains, and stresses of life allowing them to use their energy to enjoy more and be more present.
Craniosacral is a gentle, light-touch method that relieves stress and restores balance by supporting the body's central nervous systems.

"I always get super excited when it's session day because
I know things are gonna be changing!"
“As a holistic practitioner myself, I definitely expect a lot from the practitioners I trust for my own healing and Catharine absolutely delivers! I've had some stubborn aches and pains that melted away within just a few visits and I always get super excited when it's session day because I know things are gonna be changing! Catharine helps you feel safe and supported while working through past traumas and the work she does really goes deep for reaching those old (and also newer!) wounds.

How Can Craniosacral Therapy Help Me?
Time and time again I have witnessed the therapeutic value of this work in helping people improve their quality of life.
Learning the language of the body changed my life. I got in touch with my intuition and my spiritual calling through my body. I love facilitating that learning for others and helping them deepen their self connection, healing, and sense of place in the world.
​
I came to understand that there was more to life than what I was seeing. This was the limiting belief I was living in this question of “What else is there? Why do I feel frozen? How is it I come from one of the richest countries in the world and feel I have nothing to give?”
​
The positive belief that I came to after a kind of awakening experience was “Life is fluid. I can do anything I want to the only thing that stands in my way is me. Energy flows through us, when we surrender to it, it guides us into the mystery and magic of life.”
​
Rather than a band-aid or top-down approach, Craniosacral works to uncover the root cause of an ailment. Clients often find that they can become more in tune with their bodies by using a more natural approach which allows for greater ease and overall wellness.
Together we’ll work to help you learn the language of your body and empower you to advocate for your health and wellness.
"Highly Recommend"
“Catharine is the real deal. I first saw her for craniosacral therapy to help with a chronic illness. And now, I've been "seeing her" digitally. I can say she is skilled both in person and online. She is able to hold tender space and calm your nervous system. It is rare to find such a gentle, intuitive, and knowledgeable soul with a great tool kit to meet you where you are at. Highly recommend :)”

What are the other benefits of Craniosacral Therapy?
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.
What happens in a Craniosacral Therapy session?
You will be fully clothed for your session. Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are highly recommended.
​
If you're ready to start feeling great again
regular sessions support the greatest outcome.
​
For chronic issues, weekly or bi-weekly treatments support the greatest results.
​
For general relaxation and maintaining a healthy nervous system you'll benefit from regular weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions.
​
After your session, it's suggested to schedule 30-60 minutes of free time to allow your body to integrate the work, perhaps take a walk, rest, or journal.

"Working with her has helped me with migraines, jaw issues, chronic neck tension"
"I've been seeing Catharine for four years. She is a seriously skilled, professional and compassionate Craniosacral Therapist. Working with her has helped me with migraines, jaw issues, chronic neck tension, as well as calming me down on emotional days when it feels like the world is overwhelming. I always have more clarity and feel relaxed after a single session.
As a yoga teacher and Craniosacral Therapist, I have also done a series of mentoring sessions with Catharine and learned so much about working with my students and clients. I can't speak highly enough about her."
