My skills

 Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience. Balancing the nervous system. Great for helping with Trauma of any sort, PTSD, anxiety, Autism. insomnia, sleep apnea, pain, ADHD, nervous system disorders of any kind, mental illness, and for general health and wellbeing. Both physical and spiritual in its nature. Trained in Upledger and Biodynamic Techniques.


Somato Emotional Release is based as and an extension of Upledger Craniosacral Therapy. A deeply healing body based process the blends physical and emotional release work. Helps the body release emotional energy that has become trapped or frozen during a stressful or traumatic experience. This energy can be stored in the muscles, fascia or organs of the body. Overtime this stored energy can create pain, disease, or disharmony in the physical tissues.
