Therapies Offered
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a very gentle and deeply relaxing, form of body work that releases tension from the central nervous system and the entire body. It helps to restore a sense of balance, peace and a more optimum level of function. The treatment works deeply and on many levels: physical, emotional and energetic.
On the physical level, CST helps to release restrictions in the dural membrane system. This system begins inside the skull and then extends downward into the spinal cord and connects to the sacrum. It is the fabric that supports and protects our brain and spinal cord. Within these membranes, flows cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and all the nerves of the body originate from here. A restriction in the flow of CSF may cause pain at some point in the body.
The dural membrane system is continuous with the connective tissue (fascial system) of the body. Fascia is one continuous, three dimensional, fluid based sheet of fabric, from the top of our heads, to the tip of our toes. Its job is to support our body and protect our vital organs. It wraps around our organs and envelops all muscles and tendons. Any injury (physical or emotional) or surgery can disrupt the integrity of this fabric. An imbalance or restriction anywhere in a person’s connective tissue system can potentially cause chronic pain, sensory, motor or neurological impairments and other health challenges.
CranioSacral Therapy is a safe and effective for infants, children, teenagers, adults and seniors.
SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is often a process that occurs during a CranioSacral Therapy treatment. SER is a body-mind technique which allows the tissues of the body to release memories, some of which may have significant emotional components. Cells and tissues, such as muscle, connective tissue, bone, and organs can store memories related to experiences we have. The SER process happens only if the client is ready and open to heal. It is an effective and safe tool for resolving issues and symptoms that may have been holding up the client’s healing process for years.
Visceral Mobilization (VM) is based on the premise that our organs, their supporting ligaments and surrounding tissues must all remain mobile for the organs to function properly and for our health to be optimal. The main purpose of visceral mobilization is to either restore or enhance the normal mobility and motion in the body’s organs after it has suffered a trauma – perhaps due to an accident, a fall or surgery.
This treatment modality focuses on locating and releasing abnormal tensions in the connective tissue that links the organs of the body to each other, the diaphragm and various other structures in the body, including boney structures. When there are abnormal tensions in these connective tissues, it can effect the physiological functioning of an organ as well as the structural integrity of the body. Correcting these imbalances can alleviate chronic pain, digestive disturbances, elimination issues, respiratory impairments and stress, which may be responsible for disease or pain in the body. It can also enhance the mobility of your musculoskeletal system and enhance your metabolism.
Visceral Mobilization is a safe and effective for infants, children, teenagers, adults and seniors.
Energy Healing/ Reiki are the processes whereby life force, universal, energy is channeled through my hands and into your body, filling places where your own personal energy is depleted. Additionally, there are times when your body is holding too much energy in certain areas, as a result of an injury (physical or emotional); I assist this energy in leaving your body.

The M.E.L.T. Method® (MELT) is a revolutionary approach to pain-free longevity that helps you stay healthy, youthful, and active for a lifetime. This patent-pending, pro-active self-treatment technique is backed by science and acclaimed by thousands of devoted MELTers.
New research has revealed the missing link the pain-free living: a balanced nervous system and healthy, well hydrated connective tissue. MELT rejuvenates tissue hydration and relieves the tension of day to day life that gets trapped in our bodies. MELT is easy to learn and is changing the way people care for their bodies.
