Modalities

Craniosacral Therapy is an anatomically precise modality that is approached both energetically and manually, guiding the body to release physical and emotional restrictions in a way that can be quite profound. 

Our nervous system plays a huge role in our physical, mental and emotional health and few systems in the body have more impact on the central nervous system than the Craniosacral System. This consists of the brain, spinal cord, membrane and fluid that protect, feed and detox our brain and spinal cord. 

As we move through life our body absorbs stresses and traumas physically, emotionally and mentally. Over time these accumulate and compromise the function of the central nervous system and the performance of nearly every other system in the body. Craniosacral Therapy addresses these dysfunctions and facilitates self correction and deep healing. 

Using a light touch, the therapist listens to the both clients inner healing wisdom as well as the restrictions presented throughout the body. Techniques are used to encourage the body’s tissues to unwind and release areas of restriction deeply impacting the central nervous system. This allows the body space to unwind, balance, exhale, and more fully utilize its innate healing abilites.

Craniosacral Therapy is helpful for: acute and chronic pain, inflammation, migraines, digestive issues, concussion and other brain injuries, TMJ, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and trauma related symptoms such as anxiety and depression.

Energy work is guided by awareness of the subtle energetic fields of the body. Through presence, breath, Reiki, craniosacral therapy, acupressure and mindful touch, these sessions helps clear energetic blockages, open the meridian pathways to bring balance, peace and harmony to body, mind and soul. In Chinese medicine, your body is seen as an interconnected network of energy pathways called meridians. These channels move life force (Qi or Chi) through every organ, tissue and emotion- like rivers keeping the entire landscape alive.

Energy work is best for: emotional balance, stress reduction, deep relaxation and energetic alignment.

Therapeutic massage focuses on targeting the root cause of a problem area by using specific techniques like deep tissue massage, myofascial and positional release, to name a few, to address chronic muscle tension, stiffness and injury. The goal is relieve pain, increase flow, release stiffness, improve mobility, and unwind tension by working on a deeper layer of muscles, connective tissue and trigger points. The deeper work is often done slowly so for the body to let it in. 

Therapeutic massage is helpful for: alleviating pain, decreasing stiffness, improving flexibility, increased range of motion, accelerating injury and athletic performance recovery, improving posture, and assisting in an overall sense of well being.
