Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle yet impactful healing method that directly engages with the central nervous system, helping to release deep-seated stress and tension within the body's tissues.

 

CST offers numerous proven health benefits for individuals of all ages, including babies, children, and adults. It is particularly advantageous for infants experiencing muscular, tissue, and fascial tension due to their positioning in the womb, stress during labor and delivery, tethered oral tissue (like tongue tie), torticollis, and other health concerns. As a Craniosacral Therapist and Speech Language Pathologist, I utilize a gentle, non-invasive intra-oral therapy to relieve jaw tension and oral discomfort in babies, improving their latch and comfort for both mother and child. Many mothers report that CST promotes better sleep, improved neck mobility, easier latching, and a more relaxed and content baby.

 

Craniosacral Therapy is also effective for children, teenagers, and adults, helping to reduce stress and anxiety, headaches, ear pain, vertigo, gut health issues, PTSD, TMJ dysfunction, ADHD, tongue-ties, and various other conditions. I have dedicated over 25 years to training in communication therapy, craniosacral therapy, energy medicine, and holistic health. My extensive studies in these areas, including embodied transformational coaching and energy healing, have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to guide individuals in deep self-healing that help metabolize trauma and restore balance to their nervous systems for overall improved health.

 

A well-balanced nervous system facilitates the release and restoration of strained fascia, muscles, and tissues, leading to a healthier and happier body, mind, and spirit.

​

My hybrid coaching approach offers compassionate, embodied space for people to reconnect with their inner wisdom and move toward greater authenticity, freedom, and wholeness.  Trained through the Aletheia Coaching Program, I draw upon an unfolding process that integrates parts work, present-moment awareness, and somatic inquiry-gently listening not only to the mind, but also to the emotions, sensations, and deeper knowing held within the body.  As a Craniosacral Therapist with additional training in therapeutic dialoguing during non-ordinary states of consciousness, I am skilled at supporting clients as they access subtle layers of experience, develop meaningful relationships with different parts of themselves, and allow new insight and possibilities to emerge organically.  Rather than pushing toward a predetermined outcome, our work honors the intelligence of your own system and supports a deeper, more embodied expression of who you truly are.

 

I value collaboration, often working alongside lactation consultants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, myofunctional therapists, dentists, otolaryngologists, therapists, and chiropractors. With a deep passion for my work, I expresses gratitude to each client and family for the insights and wisdom gained throughout my decades of practice.
