CranioSacral Therapy

Reiki Healing Session

Gentle Therapy to Calm the Nervous System
& Restore Balance

What Is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral (CST) improves fluid movement in all systems throughout the body enhancing the supply of nutrients to cells, the removal of toxins and waste products from tissues, improves circulation of immune cells helping build natural defenses against bacteria and viruses.  It also delivers fresh blood to organs and tissues and the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. 

 

The CranioSacral system plays an important role in supporting the brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system. Everyday stress, physical strain, emotional tension, and past injuries can create restrictions and tension within the body that may affect how freely these systems function. CranioSacral Therapy uses gentle techniques to help release these restrictions, allowing the body to deeply relax, restore balance, and support its natural ability to self-correct.

 

Many clients seek CranioSacral Therapy for headaches, migraines, TMJ discomfort, chronic neck and back pain, stress, fatigue, emotional tension, nervous system support, and overall wellness. Sessions are performed fully clothed in a peaceful setting and are tailored to each client’s individual needs.

CranioSacral Therapy For Babies & Children

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) offers gentle support for babies and children as their nervous systems grow and develop. Birth strain, physical tension, stress, sensory sensitivities, and nervous system imbalances can sometimes affect comfort, sleep, digestion, focus, and overall wellbeing. 

Using a light, calming touch, CST helps release restrictions within the body while encouraging relaxation and balance. Many families seek CranioSacral Therapy for concerns such as colic, reflux, torticollis, head and neck tension, headaches, ADD/ADHD, sensory challenges, sprains, muscle tension, orthodontic concerns, emotional stress, and developmental support. 

Each session is tailored to each child's individual needs, creating a calm and supportive environment that helps children feel more relaxed, regulated, and at ease within their bodies.

Jaw & Mouth Tension Support

Mouthwork uses gentle internal and external techniques to help release tension held within the jaw, palate, and facial muscles. This specialized approach may help support TMJ discomfort, jaw tightness, orthodontic concerns, teeth grinding, headaches, and stress patterns held within face, neck, and craniofacial system. 

By helping the muscles and surrounding tissues relax, these treatments can support greater comfort, ease, mobility, and balance throughout the jaw and facial structures.

Emotional Release & Nervous System Support

Somato Emotional Release (SER)

Somato Emotional Release (SER) is a gentle therapeutic approach designed to help the body release stress, emotional tension, patterns, and trauma that may be held within the nervous system and body tissues. 

Using light touch and CranioSacral techniques, sessions encourage deep relaxation while helping clients feel calmer, more centered, and more connected within themselves. Many clients experience a greater sense of clarity, ease, and renewed wellbeing following treatment. 

I incorporate the Emotion Code technique to help identify and release trapped emotions. The body and its cells record our experiences and emotions, which are stored within the subconscious mind. As these stored emotions are addressed, the body can begin to unwind and release. This process further supports emotional processing, energetic alignment, and the body's natural ability to restore and heal.

Brain & Nervous System Support

The Glial System

The Glial system is similar to the lymphatic system of the brain. It is a network of fluid-clearance pathways that help cleanse the brain and remove waste, supporting the brain's natural maintenance and healthy function. 

The brain relies on an internal fluid movement system that depends on cerebrospinal fluid and the pulsing activity of glial cells, particularly during sleep. This process plays an important role in supporting the brain's natural cleansing and restorative functions. 

When the nervous system is calm and supported, and cerebrospinal fluid is able to move more freely, it can support improved sleep patterns, increased energy, and decreased brain fog.

Immune & Wellness Support 

CranioSacral Therapy supports overall wellness by helping calm the central nervous system, reduce stress, and release restrictions held within the body, allowing for improved immune cell function. When the body is more relaxed and balanced, it can function more efficiently while supporting its natural healing processes  and immune response. 

 

By encouraging relaxation and healthy fluid movement throughout the body, CST may help support circulation, reduce tension, and promote overall balance and wellbeing.
