Cranio-Sacral Therapy & Massage
Experience a unique intuitive blend of Eastern and Western massage techniques in a customized session based on your own needs and preferences. We interweave massage modalities from many traditions to engage your central nervous system, and help you fully reconnect to your own natural healing power.
We practice the Hendrickson Method Orthopedic Massage, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Pre-Natal, craniosacral therapy for infants, myofascial release, Swedish/Shiatsu massage and assisted stretching techniques.
By deeply relaxing and letting go of stress and tension, you will be assisted in discovering any mind/body sources of muscle imbalance and invited to release these chronically stressed areas. We will honor your own body’s inner wisdom to help you create the changes necessary for you to directly experience more vitality, more energy and more serenity. Benefits include deeper sleep, enhanced emotional balance and spiritual joy, which you will experience through body work, together with movement therapy, and other self-care practices.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
Together we locate and explore sources of tension within your body. We work intuitively and apply delicate manual techniques, while honoring your own body’s inner wisdom, to facilitate unwinding and spontaneous releases.
Craniosacral Therapy is highly effective, for reducing tone in the sympathetic nervous system (Your body’s fight, flight, freeze reflexes, which can get stuck when under unrelenting stress). With your central nervous system unwinding, all of your cells, including endocrine and immune system, have an increased ability to function and self-repair and regenerate more effectively.
Craniosacral Therapy benefits are very effective for releasing myofacial restrictions and archaic wounds anywhere in your mind/body, and for activating your own self-healing abilities for addressing many different types of conditions. **
Swedish/Shiatsu
An intuitive/integrating oil-based massage using the finest organic massage oils. Gentle to deeper pressure is guided by your individual needs and by the health of your connective tissue. I usually include shiatsu acupressure points and stretches to deepen the treatment, and restore balance.
Integrative Blend
A combination of the modalities listed above can be woven into one session, creating a unique experience to reawaken your body’s own wisdom and well being.
