If you are feeling stressed, tense, in pain, or even in need of support from trauma, or you just want some rest and relaxation time, then I would like to help you. I am certified in CS, Reiki, TRE, and Tension/Trauma Release Exercises. I can add some massage therapy to your treatment.
Some benefits of therapeutic bodywork:
- Re-balances your nervous system, assisting it out of a "fight/flight/tense" state into the "relaxation, rest, digest, healing" response. One can emerge from a session better equipped to handle life’s challenges.
- Stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
- Strengthens your body’s immune system, making it better equipped to ward off disease.
- Enhance brain function and calm a busy mind. From this state, you may be able to feel a sense of balance and respond to life situations from a place of clarity.
If you can use some support in taking good care of yourself, then help is just a phone call/click away.
Therapies: As a certified craniosacral therapist and licensed bodyworker, the variety of gentle touch therapies I provide can help your body release long-held patterns of tension, pain, and dysfunction. This is done through a therapeutic, heart-centered touch, ultimately connecting you with your body’s innate healing abilities. I listen, respond, and offer the support your body needs to let go of painful tension patterns. These tense areas drain our vital energy, which can be released and re-directed to nurture and support your body’s inherent ability to self-regulate and heal.
Here are a few other healing modalities that can assist you in your healing process:
- Tension/Trauma Release (TRE) Facilitator: I can teach you a simple, self-help technique to help release tension, and possibly trauma, from your central nervous system.
- Licensed Massage Therapist: I can offer you a "spot treatment” massage, to help release tight area(s) in your body.
How therapies work: They enable and support your body’s innate wisdom and healing processes. I blend a skilled therapeutic touch with a heart-centered healing presence. Following the guidance of your body’s inner wisdom, I carefully listen, respond, and offer the support your body needs to unwind and possibly release painful restriction patterns.
As tight muscles soften, and nerves relax, bones re-align, your immune system can be strengthened. Circulation of your vital energy (Chi) and essential fluids can be enhanced: blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid (supports healthy brain function).
Craniosacral Therapy, in particular, focuses on releasing the structures and tissues that support the brain and spinal cord (head, spinal column, tail bone, and tissues). These releases help your central nervous system (CNS) and the other systems it influences to function more optimally. CST has been known to address many ailments, such as headaches, PTSD, TMJD, fibromyalgia, and emotional release. It can also be great for just some good old-fashioned relaxation.
What you can expect from a session: Our session takes place in a quiet, private setting; I listen to what is most important to you, addressing any questions you may have before treatment. Next, you relax on a comfortable treatment table (fully clothed). I perform a brief, whole-body evaluation, feeling for areas of tension and imbalance. Next, I apply gentle techniques to facilitate the release of tension pattern(s), and I support your body to make the needed self-corrections.
Each person's experience is unique to them. Clients have reported feeling "more relaxed," "a sense of calm and ease," and "feelings of warmth and pulsation" as tension is released. Some clients say they feel a "positive influence on their mental and emotional state," and sometimes even more.
About me: I trained in these therapies after experiencing the personal benefits that helped transform my life. Living in constant fear, tension, and deep emotional pain was not working for me. I did not know how I could go on! The tension-releasing benefits of these therapies helped my body relax and lessen the incessant, negative mental chatter. I then learned to handle life's challenges with better grace and ease. Now, life can be more joyful; I can even experience states of inner peace.
It is my pleasure to serve and support you on your healing journey.
