After CST classes in 1993-95, Karen Hoyem certified in CranioSacral Therapy Techniques with the Upledger Institute in 1996. She had graduated from Northern Michigan University, and subsequently studied massage and energy work. “The first time I experienced CST I knew it was the bodywork approach I wanted to study to assist people. I love it and the advanced SomatoEmotional Release bodywork for multi-level healing and relaxation. You really see good results. I enjoy working with people of all ages on their priorties for wellness.”
Karen studied a variety of techniques for National Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in 2000 and may include acupressure, intuitive energy work, reflexology, structural assessment, visualization, visceral and lymph therapy techniques with CST to assist clients. She also added CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics, CranioSacral Therapy and Geriatrics; Touch for Health 1,2,3 and 4; essential oil aromatherapy and University of Wisconsin classes to assist older adults and the GLTB community. Touch for Health (TFH) Kinesiology, a muscle testing health system for assisting energy, muscles, organs, and meridian function, helps immediately strengthen the body and is a wonderful adjunct to CranioSacral Therapy. TFH enables strengthening of 42 muscles and has self balancing techniques everyone can learn. In addition, TFH has easy and effective techniques for emotional stress release, balancing your systems related to goals you choose, and methods to assist auditory processing and vision.
During bodywork with adults, Karen focuses on your goals and head, neck, shoulder, back, and other muscle relaxation (and/or strengthening and balancing) and pain relief. CST is especially effective for assisting recovery from old and recent injuries (car accidents, whiplash, falls, sports, etc.) and surgeries. It can assist with arthritis, range of motion, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, endocrine, circulatory, visual and other systems problems. CST sessions generally help you get to the base of the matter for reoccuring problems by using gentle tension release methods which may include SomatoEmotional Release (SER). SomatoEmotional Release takes place when an emotion comes up related to body tissues, usually from old injuries or events. By focusing on your priorities and what you body shows, CST results in much better function and well-being. SER and other advanced CST techniques may be included to aid the mouth/teeth, TMJ dysfunction and many other health issues. The "in the mouth work" (with gloves) is gentle and helps relax the face and jaw, may reduce snoring, assists sinuses, may help balance eye muscles, and increases comfort of the teeth, mouth and face tissues related to braces, retainers, bridges, and other dental work or injuries, etc. Headaches and soreness from braces adjustments generally clear within an hour.
Karen enjoys helping moms and babies to rebalance and feel better pre- and post-delivery. It significantly helps mom's relaxation and balance pre-delivery and speeds post-delivery recovery. CST is great for children throughout development. It assists newborns with colic, head shape balance, torticollis, and other tension release for greater comfort in body. As children mature, CST can quickly relieve headaches, sports and other injuries, release strain and pain from braces, and results in a happier child. CST and Touch for Health can also assist learning disabilities (see Working Wonders: Changing Lives With CranioSacral Therapy, ed. by the Upledger Institute, or email for information). "If you can help children do well throughout development, it gives them a good foundation for adult life."
"CranioSacral Therapy is a wonderful technique to assist health and well-being for everyone. You can combine it with Touch For Health and other bodywork techniques in a session to improve your functioning, have a happy body and be a happier being!"
