Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on therapeutic energy work that subtly influences the body and particularly the nervous system, brain, and the cerebral spinal fluid that moves within the body. Craniosacral Therapy invites your entire system into a state of deep stillness, where core emotional and physical patterns can emerge, be resolved and then healed. This work brings the nervous system back into balance, and allows the body, mind and spirit to return to its natural calm and resourced state of inner health. While this work can be very relaxing and rejuvenating, it can also assist in healing deeply ingrained emotional issues, trauma and chronic physical pain. This work is great for those of us who lead busy lives, feel stressed-out and need rest and rejuvenation, or wish to engage in profound ongoing personal healing work through body-oriented work, or both!

My craniosacral therapy practice is where all of my skills and affinities of the healing arts converge. I integrate my skills as a psychotherapist, mindfulness practitioner, herbalist, and energetic healer into the work, making each session unique for every client’s needs.

I offer craniosacral therapy as an incorporated modality with ongoing hoslitic therapy clients.

What it involves:

Sessions are quiet and slow, incorporating gentle and deeply attuned, listening touch such as holding the head and along the spine and feet.  The work is centered around cultivating a feeling of safety, comfort and support for deep inner connection to occur. Often new insights, unresolved emotions or just a very deep state of relaxation will result, depending on what the system is needing in order to come to a more balanced place. At times, I might use guided imagery, breath work, mindfulness practices or talk to loosen ingrained negative influences that are help in the body and mind.  

In 2017, I completed the in-depth 2.5 year-long certification course for Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral therapy through the Star Institute. Gary Peterson is my teacher, and has been a practitioner for over 40 years.
