About Me
Heather M. Rugg is an Integrative Practitioner based in Midtown Sacramento, California, with advanced training in CranioSacral Therapy and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Her work centers on nervous system regulation, somatic restoration, and individualized manual therapy designed to support the body's inherent capacity for healing.
Heather works with adults experiencing chronic stress patterns, persistent tension, headaches, postural strain, inflammatory concerns, and recovery needs following physical or surgical stress. Her approach emphasizes precision, attentiveness, and a calm therapeutic environment where clients can safely unwind long-held tension patterns and restore functional balance.
Sessions are 90 minutes in duration and are conducted in a private, one-on-one setting. Each session is tailored to the individual and may incorporate CranioSacral Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and integrative manual techniques based on clinical presentation and client goals.
Heather brings over a decade of hands-on experience working with clients in somatic and integrative therapeutic settings. She is committed to ongoing professional education and continued refinement of her clinical skills.
