Craniosacral
90 minutes
As a Craniosacral Therapist I use gentle touch, deep listening, and the foundational guiding principle that there is immense power in restoring agency to the client.
I believe that the physical, emotional, and energetic systems in one’s body are always striving towards their own ideal homeostasis. This process can be supported when loving care and attention is given within the boundaries of one’s own complete comfort and consent. I also believe profound healing is made more accessible when we feel safe enough to rest in our parasympathetic nervous system. This is the state of “rest, digest, and heal”.
In today’s society, there are many circumstances that lead individuals to spend a lot of time in their sympathetic nervous system, which is the state associated with fight, flight, faun, or freeze. Craniosacral Therapy can help individuals to move from their sympathetic nervous system back into their parasympathetic nervous system in order to allow their body time to repair.
Therefore, when working with a client, I strive to create an environment in which they feel safe enough to access, and begin to unwind, the places within their own systems that are preventing this natural progression towards health and vitality.
Pediatric Craniosacral
45 minute
Some children absolutely love to receive Craniosacral Treatments. Yet often 90 minutes is longer than they enjoy, or need. Therefore, I offer 45 minute sessions for clients 5-15 years old.
Please note that when working with children I believe that staying within the boundaries of their absolute, moment to moment consent, is the greatest benefit I can offer them. It is a vital demonstration to young clients that they are in charge of their own body, their own autonomy, and their own experience. This is more important than any hands on work I could do. And it sets the foundation for more effective hands on work, whenever they are ready.
Therefore, we may spend an extended period of time at the beginning of sessions building report. And I will end a session as soon as they indicate they have had enough.
In my experience, when working in this way, pediatric clients will gradually rest into longer and longer sessions.
Massage
60/90 minutes
As a massage therapist, I not only work the muscles and fascia for the client’s comfort and wellness, I also strive to create an atmosphere in which their whole being feels seen, nurtured, and cared for.
We all deserve to experience a supportive, and empowering, environment in which we feel safe enough to allow ourselves to fully let go and relax.
When we do so, our nervous system is able to regulate. And when it does, all of our systems begin to naturally return to a healthy homeostasis.
Prenatal Massage
60/90 minutes
Prenatal Massage is a wonderful way to encourage relaxation, and take some pressure off your changing body… As your belly gets bigger, we will get you cozy in a side-lying position so you can continue to receive massage all the way through your pregnancy.
Pediatric Massage
30/60 minutes
Children, like adults, can greatly benefit from and enjoy massage. For some children the standard massage session lengths feel too long. For this reason I offer shorter sessions for children. But children are also welcome to book the standard length sessions.
