Helping you let go of tension & pain so you can feel great, handle stress better, & enjoy life more

About Me

Thank you for your interest in CranioSacral Therapy!  At this time I'm unable to schedule any new clients. 


I'm Cindy Dimmitt, an Upledger Diplomate Certified CranioSacral Therapist celebrating 22 years in private practice on the north side of Chicago.  I love the profound positive changes in clients' bodies and lives as a result of our work together.


If you have had injuries, trauma, stress, chronic pain, grief or other emotional issues, or you are in a stressful time of transition, let's work together to bring your body into more balance and health so you can enjoy life more and handle stress better.   


I have personally benefitted from CST for migraines, sports injuries, healing from surgeries,  and more.  I understand that being listened to and treated as an individual and a whole person are essential in the healing process.


CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch, whole-body treatment technique that supports the central nervous system and affects all the other systems of the body in order to improve health and well-being.  With CST, we can pinpoint and treat the source of your body’s problem, not just the symptoms.

 

What can you expect with CST?


  • You'll notice less pain and stiffness.
  • You'll feel more relaxed and at ease in your body.
  • You'll be able to manage stress better.
  • Your body will be better at self-care and returning to a place of balance even during times of stress.
  • You'll gain more awareness and clarity about what your body wants and needs.
  • Your immune system will be healthier and stronger.
  • You'll be able to do more of the things you want to do.
Here's what some of my clients have had to say about our work together.

"I feel like a totally different body.  My neck pain is gone.  I can turn my neck without any pain at all after days of excruciating pain that was on my mind every minute and really worrying me."--L.G.

"Thanks for providing such a safe and nurturing space for me to release." --A.R.

"During my first session, I actually felt my shoulder tissue soften and release.  After the session, my body overall was in a much more relaxed state.  My voice teacher even heard a better breath management and energy in my singing voice.  Cindy not only has personal experience with CST and a wide breadth of knowledge/skills, most importantly, she creates a very welcoming, comfortable and safe environment.  She demonstrates a genuine interest and concern in collaborating with me to not only address my immediate health issues but also to help me proactively live my most healthy life." –R.M.

 

"I've had chronic pain and depression from fibromyalgia.  Before coming to see Cindy, I tried to heal with medications, water exercise, yoga, and meditation.  After seeing Cindy for 4 sessions of CranioSacral Therapy, I have noticed that the intensity of the pain has dramatically decreased and my energy has increased.  Now I'm willing and able to try more activities as well as connect more with people in my life." --JR


"I feel so much better after my session--less pain, easier movement and an overall lightness.  It's been a while since I felt this way!"-- S.K.

"After our session yesterday, I noticed one of the biggest shifts in my body I've ever had.  I have almost no low back pain.  I can't believe it!" --L.T.

"Seeing Cindy for CST, I can go the day without realizing I have something wrong with my TMJ whereas before it was a constant reminder.  I've completed 6 sessions thus far and I can open my mouth much wider.  My bite feels more and more comfortable after each session and I can finally eat on both sides of my mouth for the first time in years."--R.U.

"I waited a whole year before deciding to go to CranioSacral Therapy and I was initially skeptical.  After just the first session alone, I wish I hadn't thought twice about it."--D.B.
