You are holy and whole... You are not broken. You never were.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral therapy is a gentle hands-on therapy that helps to calm and reset our nervous system, which strengthens your body's natural ability to heal and rebalance itself. It gives your body much more energy to do things like grow, develop, repair, and rest. It also goes deep into your body to release deeply held tension and torsion in the fascia that may be causing you stress or even pain. This also allows the muscles and the rest of the body to come back into balance as the tight or twisted fascia is no longer pulling things out of alignment.
Myofascial Unwinding and Release
Myofascial unwinding/release is a process that uses movement and stretching to release tension and torsion in hte fascia, and to get the energy flowing again in areas of your body that have been tight or blocked. It's a very unique way of releaseing through movement, often from a standing or seated position, and it allows faster and greater progress than simply laying on the massage table. It may remind you of yoga or even slow dancing at times as we listen to the way your body wants to move to let go of whatever it is holding on to. This also allows for some big emotional releases, often the emotional baggage we are carrying is closely tied to our physical symptoms.
For example: sore back, fatigue, anxiety and depression are all examples of things that are absolutely real and physical- and can also be very connected to our emotional past as well. CST can be a wonderful addition to whatever medical help you might be seeking. It can also help you move forward when it feels like you're stuck in the same pattern you've been in for a long time. I personally love to hold space for people if emotions do come up, because most of us don't have the time or space to process these things on our own. One session can be enough to lay down feelings and experiences you've been carrying with you for years or even decades.
Pediatrics
DBB is a wonderful tool for families to use from the earliest days of your child's life. It's incredibly gentle, usually the pressure under my fingers is equal ot that of a quarter. It is not forceful in the slightest, but it is a powerful way to calm the nervous system of the child who is having trouble sleeping or eating. It also allows me to work directly inside the mouth to address tension that may be causing feeding, latch and digestive issues. When the body is balanced, the child is able to put their energy towards learning, developing and growing, exactly what you would hope for. This is beneficial for all children.
Some common challenges that are often benefit from DBB:
Latch/feeding issues
torticollis
flat or unusual head shape
tongue, lip and cheek ties
colic
developmental delays
ADHD
digestive discomfort
unusual crawling pattern
sensory issues
