CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch, hands-on method of listening to the craniosacral system for places where the body could benefit from various gentle techniques. By gentle, this means very light pressure generally no greater than 5 grams which is approximately the weight of a nickel.

Our bodies are conductive and even with some of the most simple techniques, you might think “You are barely touching me, how can this possibly be effective?” This light touch allows the therapist’s nervous system to assist your nervous system to release and relax. Remember, all of your muscle cells are like little slinkies controlled by your nervous system. It’s as much a skill to relax and have them expand as it is to send a message to contract.

The techniques in this method release restrictions in the connective tissues of the body. The practitioner learns to use the bones of the skull and sacrum to facilitate potentially profound releases impacting a number of conditions and helping people with an array of health challenges related to pain and dysfunction.

The experience of physical or, as we now know, emotional trauma, can remain recorded and stored in bodily tissues, wearing our systems down.

I believe doctors study and work to find the roots of disease. 

I work to find and promote the roots of good health, aka saludogenesis.

I hold a BA in English and an MA in Communications. This led me to corporate brand strategy work and ultimately a path into chronic pain.

I got out of my pain by studying bodywork and movement:

800 hours East West College of the Healing Arts massage school

140 hours from The Upledger Institute in CranioSacral Therapy

500 hours Pilates training

300 hours additional movement method and bodywork training
