Yes Craniosacral Therapy!

How can Craniosacral Therapy help you?

The best answer that I can think of is that you want to feel good again.  If you are feeling stressed, if your body is in pain, or if you have been in a terrible accident, Craniosacral Therapy can help.  I have treated people who have experienced great results who have come in with anxiety, Traumatic Brain Injury & Concussions, car accidents, TMJ,  back & neck pain, just to name a few conditions.  The major reason that I have success helping people as a Craniosacral Therapist is because I use a method that is so gentle, that the body welcomes the touch.  I don’t have to force my work through layers of fascia. Rather, my hands listen to what the body already knows  I trust that it can unwind painful patterns by using craniosacral techniques that are supportive and precise.  I believe we want to heal, and that having a compassionate presence helps move that process through naturally.  It feels to me like I hold a flexible yet centered point for my clients to re-organize around.  It works for me as a therapist, and it works for them as clients.

I have been practicing bodywork for 20 years, and Craniosacral Therapy since 2003.  During this time, I have studied and worked with advanced Craniosacral Therapy techniques, SomatoEmotional Release, and emphasized brain and spine related work in my work practice.  What I have witnessed at times, is nothing short of a miracle.  In 10 sessions, I have seen clients who have come in with fogginess, depression and pain get up and resume extraordinary lives.  Now I don’t guarantee this, but it is possible.  The people who have shown me the most success are those who are committed to their healing practice,  those who are open to change, and those who can quietly take in the work, and express deeper thoughts, feelings and sensations as they show up during the session.  This is because we are each whole.  And when the mind, body & spirit connecting get tangled up, they need to be sorted out to tap back into the whole essence of the individual.   When we connect to the deeper essence of life, great things can happen.

I don’t know that any one therapist is a Master in their own right.  It is the client that has the power to heal.  What you want to find in a Craniosacral Therapist is  someone who has faith that your own “Inner Wisdom” who can show you the way back to health and wellbeing.  As a Craniosacral Therapist, it is my job to use this model and all the techniques that I have learned to help you self-correct any dysfunctional patterns that show up.  As you let go, the healing has begun.

I trust the Central Nervous System to communicate all of it’s know how as we set the stage for deep release, better balance, more vitality, and emotional clearing if necessary.

Get Rid of Those Painful Headaches with Craniosacral Therapy

by | Dec 28, 2017 | Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Are your headaches leaving you incapacitated?

Three reasons why you should find a Craniosacral Therapist to help your headaches feel better:

  1. Craniosacral Therapy uses a very light touch.  The intention of the hands is to listen quietly.  The benefit in this is that we therapists follow the craniosacral rhythm and the tissue’s own inherent wisdom to show us what needs to happen for release.  The only place that the client feels deeper pressure is in the subocciptal area, right where the spine and head meet.  And that usually feels pretty great.  Headaches disappear when this part of the neck relaxes.
  2. While Craniosacral Therapy works with the brain and the spine as the primary focus, the listening leads the therapist to all the places in the body that are also contributing to stress patterns.  In Actuality, Craniosacral Therapy is a whole body treatment that helps the client to feel totally integrated and complete.  Often headaches dissolve, but this is often because of the opening and reconnection between the head and the thoracic inlet.  More blood and fluid  flow between the head and the body which facilitates better circulation.
  3. Craniosacral Therapy addresses SomatoEmotional Release too. For therapists that have trained in this, it is a very supportive tool that helps clients to have a conversation with the unconscious and conscious.  Deeply set patterns in the body can often released when the stressful emotions arise and have space to be felt.  Sometimes our stories from the past are held in the tissues.  Freeing ourselves into the present can be very healing.

If you are suffering from frequent headaches, and associated pain- look for a gentle approach that actually helps.

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therpay (CST) is a light touch approach in bodywork that invites profound change and improvement into your life. It releases deep tensions to relieve pain and dysfunction while improving whole body health and performance. A seasoned therapist begins by gentle listening to different areas of the body in order to monitor the craniosacral fluid’s rhythm that is flowing around the Central Nervous System.  It is possible to get a sense of where the flow is strong, weak or out of balance.  As she follows the listening, she can move toward the source of the dysfunction and help to rebalance the problem areas.  The therapist is also trained to gather information within the fascia, a connective tissues that wraps around the body and interconnects as a web throughout the body. By using both hands to re-educate the memory of tissues, the body starts to remember a more healthy and relaxed state of being.

What are the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy?

First and foremost, Craniosacral Therapy balances the nervous system.  For people who hyped up and have a difficult time relaxing,  they will generally notice a deep letting go of tension and stress.  On the other side of the coin, people who are tired and find themselves with low energy often feel more vital and sharp. By bringing the body back into balance, it resets itself to operate more efficiently. Because the Central Nervous System is engaged with the rest of the body, CST is helpful in other areas as well.  some of the conditions that CST address are:

  • ADD/ADHS
  • Scoliosis
  • Central Nervous System Disorders
  • Infant and Childhood Disorders
  • Chronic Neck and Back Pain
  • Migraine and Headaches
  • Stress and Tension Related Disosrders
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • TMJ
  • PTSD
  • Orthopedic Problems
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Coordination Challenges
  • Balances out Emotional Feelings
  • Autism
