Irresistibly drawn to CranioSacral Therapy (CST) along the way, as part of my own healing from illness, I made it the core of my work for over 10 years.  I studied CranioSacral Therapy with Dr John Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., and through the Upledger Institute, and took further studies with Dr John Beaulieu, N.D., PH.D.  My work has taken me to many locations around the world and I participate as a therapist in CST retreats in America and Europe.

Think of your nervous system as your computer – sometimes you need to re-boot to reset the system.  CST is a very gentle, hands-on method of doing just that for your body.  It encourages your body’s own natural healing to help counter the effects of stress and dis-ease, with the additional benefit of better overall health.  Many people believe that healing has to be painful – CST helps to change this belief. CST respects the uniqueness of the individual and the body’s innate wisdom, leading to a balance of mind, body and spirit.

The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.  It extends from the head (cranium) to the tail-bone (sacrum) area.  This vital system influences the performance of the brain and spinal cord.  An imbalance or restriction in the system can cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities.

The benefits can be substantial as CST strengthens your body’s ability to take care of you.  It can help alleviate:

Migraines
Chronic Head and Back Pain
Stress and Tension-Related problems
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
Chronic Fatigue
Scoliosis
TMJ
Learning Disabilities
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
and many other conditions……….

The atmosphere of a session is quiet and soothing.  You remain fully clothed as a light touch and delicate manual techniques are used to release problem areas.  Sessions last from 1 to 11/2 hours.

Sessions last approximately 1 hour and are held in a quiet and safe environment.

Just over 3 years ago I was introduced to the teachings of the Inca of Peru through Alberto Villoldo Ph.D. and the Four Winds Society. Magical work, based on ancient indigenous traditions and medicine, it continues to deepen my working experience and vision. Good, clean medicine, it integrates into my practice beautifully. I am a graduate of the Four Winds Society Healing the Light Body School.

In this type of healing the whole person is taken into account and the origin of a symptom is followed back to its source by tracking the alignment of the body, the mind and the spirit. Any kind of trauma leaves an energetic imprint, which, if unattended to, can result in a chronic condition, be it physical, emotional or mental. Working at the energetic level the shaman tracks for and removes the imprint. Old patterns shift and negativity is neutralized. Consequently health and well-being improve.
Limiting beliefs and their associated destructive patterns of behavior can compromise every aspect of our being. By getting to the root of an issue at its energetic source our relationship with that issue can be transformed, freeing you up from old thought and behavior patterns.

The following are examples of things that can be helped by shamanic energy work:

Chronic illness/weak immune system
Depression
Negative family patterns/ancestral issues
Past traumas that just don’t seem to go away despite your best efforts
Repeating destructive and addictive behaviors
Irrational mood swings or changes in personality
Feeling as if you are watching your life, not living it fully
An unhealthy attachment to another individual

Sessions typically last 1-11/2 hours. As with all my work, the session is held in a very safe, supportive environment.

5 years ago another important part of my approach to wellness came along in the dynamic form of bodywork called Zero Balancing (ZB).  Through the use of gentle skilled touch, ZB balances body energy with body structure, promoting internal balance and harmony. After studies with the founder of ZB Fritz Smith MD FCCAc, and other members of the ZB faculty, ZB soon became another key piece of my work. I am a Certified Zero Balancer.

ZB is a hands-on bodywork system designed to align your energy body with your physical structure.  Simple, yet powerful, if focuses on the whole person, even when addressing specific needs.  The practitioner works simultaneously with the structural and the energy bodies, integrating Western scientific approaches to the body and Eastern concepts of energy and healing, achieving a sense of balance and focus.  Everything in a ZB session is designed to promote maximum relaxation and a feeling of well-being.  The ZB form of touch is gentle and non-invasive, creating a point of stillness where the mind quiets, the energy fields reorganize and internal reorientation  and stabilization occurs.

ZB may help symptoms from blocked or excessive energy
Headaches
Backaches
Fatigue
Depression
Problems related to stress
Tension
Insomnia
Nervousness

ZB can assist in increasing your capacity for enjoyment of your daily life, create inner quiet and deeper self-understanding and generally help improve the quality of your life.

The session lasts for 1 hour and is held in a quiet and soothing environment.
