CranioSacral Therapy:
CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch modality that releases tension from deep within the body, treating chronic pain and dysfunction and improving over-all health and well-being. CranioSacral Therapy is unique in that we directly access the Central Nervous System by working with the bones, tissues, and fluids of the CranioSacral System. These include the cranial and facial bones and cranial membranes, vertebrae, sacrum (tailbone), pelvis, and the fluids that protect the brain and spinal cord. Through various holds and subtle manipulations we encourage deep release to the structure and fascia and support the body to unwind tension patterns on it's own terms and from it's own intelligence. After having freed up tension in Central Nervous System the body can then direct its own healing energy more efficiently, leading to dramatic improvements in health and over-all functioning.

Because CranioSacral Therapy is so gentle it is appropriate and effective for people of all ages from newborns to elderly. A typical session will take place with client fully clothed, laying comfortably on a massage table. I will use my hands to gently assess areas of restriction in the body and will then employ delicate manual techniques to support release in those areas. Though every experience is highly individual, clients may expect feelings of deep relaxation and may notice sensations of warmth and pulsing in areas being treated. Pain syndromes are often reduced and the body becomes more aligned and symmetrical, especially over time.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, specialized form of bodywork designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid away from swollen areas and toward functional lymph nodes, reducing edema (swelling) and metabolic waste and stagnation. It involves light, rhythmic stretching of the skin and improves lymphatic vessel function. Treatments start with stimulation at the lymph nodes near the clavicle and/or groin, depending on what and where we are treating. We then move outward to affected areas opening the way so that when we arrive to treat affected areas. the path for drainage is clear and open. It is a slow, gentle and very relaxing process. Clients will remain clothed to level of comfort and some disrobing may be required to access affected areas adequately. The techniques are generally applied to the neck, armpit, groin, trunk and limbs. Techniques may also be applied to the face.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps with:
Lymphodema treatment and management, post-surgical swelling and healing, pain relief and relaxation.
MLD should be avoided in cases of acute infection, severe untreated congestive heart failure or acute deep vein thrombosis.
