Cranial Sacral Therapy: What will it do for you?

Relieve: headaches, migraines, insomnia, work and emotional stress, pain, anxiety, poor memory, ADHD, chronic fatigue, scoliosis, TMJ, neck and back pain, post-traumatic stress, poor posture, whiplash, and basically everything happening in your body that takes away from your quality of life.

We are what we think, we think according to the ability of the cranial system to accurately process stimuli and information. Stress and previous injury creates twisting, distortion, compression, and uneven muscle tension in the neck and skull. Our thoughts become a misrepresentation of an exhausted system that is not processing your information properly. When your mind is tight, you and your entire body are tight. When the mind lets go, you let go, the body lets go.

During cranial therapy, I locate and release these restrictions as I find them all over the body. Restoring free movement to your mind/body system brings you back to a state of clarity, empowerment, self-actualization, openness and a sense of calm, hope and safety.

Cranio-sacral work is the perfect modality when you don’t know what you need, but you know you need something. It creates noticeable shifts in your body, your moods and your life. I expect miracles when working in the cranial realm, and they happen.

Craniosacral Therapy is the perfect tune up for you and your nervous system. Regular sessions will make a huge impact in your life.

Myofascial Release and Unwinding

The body’s fascial webbing is a shock absorber. It absorbs the impact of a physical blow and these recordings stay in the body. They behave like background noise and interfere with the body’s own electrical communications. It is possible to erase these and this process is called
myofascial release and unwinding.

When the fascia realigns in an “injury position”, the memory’s energy is released and normal function is restored to the tissue. These releases are highly beneficial for the body, for as long as an injury site retains its memory, restoration of normal function is impossible.

Location and Release of Energy Cysts in the Body

An energy cyst is a parcel of energy taken into the body at the time of a forceful blow. This is absorbed by the fascial layers and begins emitting an electrical pulse from its center. Energy cysts create areas of tissue breakdown which interfere with the body’s healing mechanisms. When an injury remains problematic, the presence of an energy cyst is suspected. The fascia has a tense vibration that cannot be released through massage. Left untreated, an energy cyst will eventually turn into scar tissue.

Reconnective Healing

This form of energy work, channels light through the energetic grid lines that move around and through our bodies, just like the latitude and longitude lines of the earth. It differs from Reiki, (radio wave), in that it is a form of Light called Bio-Photonic Energy, (light wave). It deals more closely with the “Higher Self” or Oversoul; our Blueprint for perfection. To clear the physical body, we must clear the belief-system that created the dis-ease.
Reconnective Energy is often felt as a cool wind against the skin. The sessions are a beautiful connection between the client, the practitioner and the divine. Channels of past, negative patterns and memory, are cleared. There is no attached outcome to these beautiful sessions. Part of us already knows what is needed for our healing.

Reiki

Reiki stands for “Universal Life Energy.” It addresses bodily healing on the physical, mental and spiritual level. In a session, the body’s ability to heal itself is accelerated and the potential opens for you to experience balanced wellness. Reiki energy is a radio wave and is warming, soothing, penetrating and a powerful force for healing, opening, balancing, soothing and clearing. In order to channel the Reiki Energy through to the client, my energy field must be opened and attuned to that frequency by a Reiki Master. Only then will the energy be attracted into my field and channeled through my hands.

Somato-Emotional Release - The Upledger Institute

This is similar to fascial and energy-cyst release, but the focus is to release the person, from a traumatic imprint. Somato work deals with the release of negative emotions that become intertwined with the physical injuries. If you were upset or angry at the time of an injury, you are far more likely to retain the physical trauma in your body, instead of releasing it. To allow the release of emotional trauma, the body must surrender itself to the process of ‘letting go’. Physical injuries that don’t completely heal, may have an underlying emotional memory from an earlier time in life. The light of the true person begins returning to their eyes as the ‘missing pieces’, release and re-integrate.
For this reason, my work is extremely rewarding, I love it.

Suggested session length: 1.5– 2 hours
Sessions are available Wednesday through Saturday
