Snoring is something that many have to deal with. For some it's only occasionally and for others it can be an ongoing issue. There are so many things that can cause you to snore:

Sometimes what I’m thinking and how I feel I’ve expressed it when writing a blog doesn’t actually align with what readers understand and that happened recently with regards to my offering Holistic Massage. I’ve deleted the previous blog that I shared in the August Enewsletter, and hope that I can bring some clarity here.
Craniosacral Therapy is all about feeling the subtle rhythms and messages that your body is sharing. To sense those subtleties, I need to focus in a different way. It's important that I shut down that analytical Massage Therapist mind that wants to track and follow what makes sense to my soft tissue knowledge of the body. That is not what I want to bring to your Craniosacral Therapy session. The human body is a constant source of amazement in how connected everything is within it. Addressing the Sphenoid Bone through Craniosacral Therapy Often when my hands are working with the Sphenoid Bone a client will mention that they are feeling sensation further down in their body, around their hips, legs, lower abdomen, lower spine... “That’s weird!” has been the most common comment. But actually, it really isn’t. The past 2 weeks have seen a number of inquiries from clients about Lymphatic Massage and I realized I’ve rarely talked about this and how beneficial it is, outside of those clients who I specifically recommend it for.
Intraoral Craniosacral Therapy involves gentle, specialized techniques applied inside the mouth to assist with easing tension in the jaw, the palate, the floor of the mouth, sinus cavities, articulations between facial and cranial bones, and other structures in and around the mouth, face and throat. Through easing fascial and muscular tensions it can be an effective way to address pain in the TMJ, injuries to the mouth, headaches and stress. External Craniosacral Therapy to the Facial Bones and Cranium may be enough to ease these areas but at times additional assistance is needed.
A Concussion is something that often brings clients in for a Craniosacral Therapy session, whether for a recent injury or when navigating post concussion symptoms. Headaches, “foggy brain”, problems with balance, “shooshing in the ears”, problems with concentration, ongoing sensitivity to light or noise, Depression, Anxiety, more Emotional or experiencing mood swings… are just some of the symptoms that clients have mentioned post concussion. In a recent discussion amongst Holistic Practitioners the question was asked “Why do clients come to see you?” “Why do they come back?” After thinking about this I decided that a part of the reason was perhaps, the opportunity to take a “time out” for however long they were on my table. That for an hour or more they could rest in mind, body and spirit, not be “on” and not have to be “doing”. Instead for a short time they could just rest and be. Why do I get this impression? Because the thing I hear from you most often is “I have never felt so relaxed. Ever." Taking “time out” or resting your mind, body and spirit is a crucial part of physical, mental and emotional health. It does not have to be earned. |
