Hello! I look forward to talking with you about your needs and what you would like to have completed during your service. Please call 828-550-2267 and leave a message for me to return your call.

I have been practicing since 2006 both craniosacral/massage service to adults and children for a variety of causes emotional and/or physical. I work with those that have had trauma either physically, spiritually or mentally. In addition to CST and SER work, I am a licensed massage therapist and have training in Swedish, Hot Stone, Lymphatic, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy, Bamboo, Balinese, Acupressure, Reiki and Shiatzu, Acupressure, as well as others. I also have advanced training with Upledger Institute in Craniosacral Therapy/ Somatic-Emotional Release therapy and Brain work. I specialize with body/mind trauma. Overall, I focus on the total well-being of all my clients and allow the "body to talk" in what is going on. In addition, I have Chinese Visceral Manipulation (CHI NEI TSANG Internal organ massage) and Medical Qigong. I have experienced work with three grandmother healers from the Cherokee and Lakota tribes for additional understanding. Grandmother June in particular from Springbank Spirituality Center has been a great teacher to me. I am honored to have had the opportunity to learn from her before her passing.

My practice does include children and adolescents: Gifted, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Autism, Physical disabilities, Behavioral Issues and Sensitives. I have over 30 years experience in working with children/youth as a teacher, administrator and professor in special/alternative education. My future work is moving toward exploring ways to create overall health in a more holistic approach for children/adults with Autism, ADHD, behavioral issues and trauma. I also works with Sensitives and Gifted children to help them integrate and balance their lives more strongly.

CST and SER takes a whole-person approach to healing and the inter-connections of mind, body and spirit are deeply acknowledged. It is an effective form of treatment for a wide range of illnesses helping to create conditions for good health, encouraging strength and facilitating a sense of well-being.

All are welcome.

My Skills

CranioSacral Therapy is an approach that is powerful, but gentle to your body. You can stay fully clothed for CST or can combine with massage. It helps to release trauma from the body/mind, reduces stress from the nervous system and rebalances your natural healing system. You become stronger and more capable by strengthening your internal systems. I work intuitively and with careful listening to the whole person. You can combine any of these practices together in an integrative experience tailored to your needs.

I am open to working with anyone of any age, from birth to elder. I welcome the LGBQT community. I am a Licensed, National Board tested/passed Massage and Bodywork Therapist in North Carolina and a NC Certified Educator. Masters in Educational Leadership and Administration/Special Education, Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction/Special Education/Child and Family Policies [University of South Florida].
