CranioSacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance. By working with the rhythms of the nervous system and releasing tension in the membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord, CST helps ease pain, boost the immune system, and improve overall well-being. It’s a calming and effective therapy for people of all ages, especially those navigating stress, tension, or nervous system imbalances.
CST was developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, an osteopathic physician and surgeon. He led a team of anatomists, physiologists, biophysicists, and bioengineers that performed and published the clinical research, which formed the basis for the modality he named Craniosacral Therapy.
It has been shown to improve the functioning of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety, physical symptoms and TMJ.
Craniosacral Therapy for Pediatrics
Craniosacral Therapy uses light touch to assess and release tension within the central nervous system with a special focus on supporting children through gentle, non-invasive therapy that promotes physical and emotional well-being. I work with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, helping them overcome challenges like anxiety, sleep disturbances, chronic pain, sensory processing issues, and developmental delays.
Craniosacral therapy can be beneficial for children who are experiencing physical or emotional stress. By improving the body’s ability to self-regulate and heal, this therapy can help kids feel more relaxed, focused, and comfortable in their bodies.
Whether a child is recovering from a traumatic birth, struggling with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Tongue Tie, other medical conditions, or simply having difficulty managing daily stresses, I create a calm and nurturing environment where each child’s unique needs are addressed as I treat the Child not the diagnoses with a compassionate approach and a deep understanding of children’s developmental needs, I strive to help kids thrive by supporting their natural ability to heal and find balance.

Visceral Manipulation
Deep Relief from the Inside Out
Visceral Manipulation is a gentle, highly specific manual therapy that works with the internal organs and the connective tissues that surround and support them. These tissues can hold tension, restriction, and imbalance that contribute to chronic pain and dysfunction throughout the body.
Unlike traditional deep tissue work, which focuses mainly on muscles, Visceral Manipulation addresses deeper layers of the body’s structure including the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems. By releasing restrictions around the organs and improving their mobility, this work can help restore balance, improve posture, and relieve pain that never seems to fully go away.
Clients often seek out Visceral Manipulation after years of chasing temporary relief. This approach invites the body to reorganize itself from the inside out, working on the root of chronic tension patterns.
