As a somatic and integrative process therapist I have learned that sometimes people need more than just talk therapy. We can’t always connect with our words and have to learn to listen to the wisdom of our bodies. To meet this need, I became a certified Craniosacral therapist in 2016 to offer a unique combination of psychotherapy and Craniosacral therapy,
Through this work I have the opportunity to incorporate body work into my sessions which combines the reflection of the energetic system with the cognitive restructuring to help regulate the nervous system. When the nervous system is regulated, we have access to our intuition, which is always there but is often clouded by projections of the world and old stories about or identities.
Please note that my main modality is talk therapy. Craniosacral is an offering, it is not standard or required.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is an extraordinary kind of body work that involves the practitioner listening to the body’s inherent health expressions. As I reflect the body’s energetic presentation, the nervous system naturally regulates, allowing the client to have deeper access to their brain functions. 50-minute sessions are conducted with the client clothed on a massage table. I typically focus on the head, spine and pelvic area. As I combine Cranial Sacral therapy with Talk therapy, I am listening to the body’s energetic rhythm and noticing where the body holds on to trauma. The body is reflected as it moves towards a natural state of stillness and impacts deep healing. The beauty of this therapy is its simplicity.
