"You were probably wondering if I would call for an EFT reinforcement during our vacation.
Well, the one session we had in your studio right before our trip worked! It eliminated 90%
of my usual travel anxiety. When I felt some anxiety starting I took a deep breath and I got
through it. THANKS AGAIN!"

What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy is a subtle bodywork modality performed on a person fully clothed.
Using a light touch - generally no more than the weight of a nickel - the CranioSacral
Therapist monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions
and imbalances.
The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem
areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal chord. A CranioSacral Therapy session
lasts about an hour. The result is a central nervous system free of restrictions and a body
that's able to return to its greatest levels of performance.
This gentle method of detection and correction encourages your own natural healing mechanisms
to dissipate the negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. You also benefit
from better overall health and resistance to disease.
What conditions does CranioSacral Therapy address?
CranioSacral Therapy strengthens your body's ability to take better care of you.
It helps alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction, including, and not limited to:
- Migraines and headaches
- Chronic neck and back pain
- Motor-coordination impairments
- Stress and tension-related problems
- Infantile disorders
- Traumatic brain and spinal chord injuries
- Chronic fatigue
- Scoliosis
- Central nervous system disorders
- Emotional difficulties
- Temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ)
- Learning disabilities
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Orthopedic problems
- And many other conditions
What is SomatoEmotional Release ®?
Even when CranioSacral Therapy releases restrictions in body tissues, sometimes a release
of emotional energy is necessary to fully discharge a trauma. In those cases,
the CranioSacral Therapist may gently encourage a SomatoEmotional Release (SER).
Research conducted in the late '70's by John Upledger, DO, and biophysicist Zvi Karni led
to the discovery that the body often retains the emotional imprint of physical trauma.
These imprints, especially those of intense feelings that may have been present at the time of
the injury, leave residues in the body in areas called "energy cysts."
Although you can adapt to energy cysts, over time your body needs extra energy to continue
performing its day-to-day functions. As years pass and the body becomes more stressed,
it can lose its ability to adapt. That's when symptoms and dysfunctions begin to appear
and become difficult to suppress or ignore.
In this process, the therapist engages in imaging and dialoguing techniques that can guide
the client through an otherwise challenging encounter with long-held emotions. As the release
occurs, the therapist can feel the tissues of the body relax as the energy cyst is expelled
and the body is free to return to optimal levels of functioning.
