CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique used to evaluate and enhance the function of the craniosacral system -- the physiological body system comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. Developed by John E.

CranioSacral Therapy

The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
It extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum.
The CranioSacral Therapy practitioner uses a light touch no heavier than the weight of a nickel, to assist the natural soft tissue to help the body self-correct.

Since the role of this system influences the development and performance of the brain and spinal cord, CST can prevent
and restore sensory, motor and/or neurological disabilities.
Those suffering chronic symptoms from head, neck or back injuries due to trauma, also benefit from CST.
Stress related dysfunctions such as fatigue, headaches, anxiety, etc. are reversed.
Providing the conditions for the nervous system to rest and rejuvenate.

CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics is gentle and safe for children of all ages including newborns.

When negative emotions are experienced at the time of the trauma, ie: fear, anger, then these forces are
physically retained as well.
SER is the acknowledgement and re-experiencing of this emotion and trauma, in order for it to be transformed and released,
facilitating the body/mind to health and healing.

Therapeutic Imagery & Dialogue

Therapeutic Imagery & Dialogue enhances the effectiveness of bodywork, such as CranioSacral Therapy.

Figurative language, imagery and metaphor are explored between therapist and patient, helping to bring non conscious
buried thoughts, fears, wishes and hopes to the foreground.
Once realized and acknowledged, it will allow your conscious mind quiet, clarity and purity.

This is the path of realized self-growth, self-acknowledgement and self-discovery.

Heart Centered Therapy

Heart Centered Therapy (HCT) is a loving approach to spiritual-emotional healing that entrusts the voice of the heart to guide personal process to wholeness.
HCT achieves reintegration and healing through a gentle, respectful process without reliving the trauma.
Personal issues and conflict come to resolution through love, acceptance, and transformation of the whole being.

Masterful dialogue techniques include step-by-step guidelines that identify and transform the emotional component of disease in the body,
the related trauma, as well as the ancestral patterns that have sustained wounding within the immediate family and the family lineage.
Inside this gentle and respectful process is a very direct, straightforward approach that pierces straight to the core of an issue.

Limited perspectives and blocks dissolve as one learns to discern the difference between information perceived from the mind that can intensify trauma,
and higher information received through the wisdom of the heart that directs the healing and reveals inner truth.
As our core being is healed, disassociated consciousness reintegrates. In wholeness, we can reclaim and fulfill our purpose in life.

We treat the body as a whole - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually!
