Craniosacral Therapy ~ A Gentler Approach to Physical & Emotional Ease

2/21/2023

0 Comments

 
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle approach to easing physical and emotional pain
Having practiced Craniosacral Therapy for 27+ years, clients have told me of results as individual as they are, some surprising. What I have noticed is a predominant response to easing pain and emotional distress.

As a Massage Therapist I use to turn to Massage first when a client came to their session with pain, and only apply Craniosacral Therapy if, after a few sessions, the client was not responding. Clients were and are often amazed that a treatment that is so gentle, in the end actually brings them the ease they seek.

Craniosacral Therapy ~ The Power of Stillness

2/12/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
During a Craniosacral Therapy session there is a Stillpoint. A small measure of time where the Nervous System becomes still, the flow of Cerebral Spinal Fluid is slow and steady, the body is quiet, and I wait. How long do I hold the Stillpoint? Until the client's response tells me to move on.

In A Way, We Are All Dealing With Long Haul COVID

~ even if you haven't had Covid-19.

I have noticed that the pandemic we are in, and have been for three years, has shown visible symptoms in every client that I've seen through that time. Regardless of occupation, age, beliefs, etc. many are exhibiting the symptoms of PTSD and Chronic Stress. Yes, it is more intense with those clients in Healthcare and the Teaching professions, however it has been obvious in everyone.

Mental & Physical Well-Being, the Vagus Nerve & Craniosacral Therapy

How is your Vagus Nerve Tone?
After the past two years and the impact of a pandemic on our daily lives, I'm going to guess that its not that good. If the stress of Covid was placed on top of existing stress or physical/emotional trauma, your Vagus Nerve tone is probably struggling.

The majority of us have had to modify and adapt our personal and work lives, as well as limit our social engagements. There have been many unknowns as we've tried to safely navigate our lives and keep others safe. The result has been chronic stress at varying levels. (The pandemic has made stress appear to be more prevalent however many people were already dealing with the burden of chronic stress and unresolved trauma prior to Covid.)

Craniosacral Therapy ~ Healing Muscle Pain in the Stillness

6/3/2021

3 Comments

 
This past week I had the opportunity to participate in 2 workshops for enhancing Craniosacral Therapy outcomes for clients. While there was a lot of fascinating information shared one topic that stood out to me was the role of Craniosacral Therapy in gently releasing muscular restrictions in the body, versus Deep Tissue Massage where that release is forced, through pressure.

The Big Sigh

2/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Holistic Benefits of Sighing during your session.

The "sigh" is something I wait for, and eventually, in every holistic session, it comes.

​That is when I know that a client has given over to allowing the holistic session to work with them on all levels (mind, body and spirit)

The human sigh, while often a spontaneous occurrence, conveys a wide range of emotions and has an abundance of holistically healthy benefits. Our breathe impacts our emotional and physical state and the sigh can encourage a state of balance.
