 Profile
When our skin and underlying tissues feel pressure greater than about five grams, or the weight of a nickel, our nervous system chooses to resist the force as a method of protection.
For this reason, CranioSacral Therapy uses a touch less than five grams in order to blend with and engage the soft tissue to assist your body's own self-healing mechanisms.
At this light touch, I can feel the craniosacral rhythm, which is the gentle movement of the cerebrospinal fluid as it moves in and around the brain and spinal cord. I use this rhythm, along with other techniques, to assess areas of stagnation.
Once blended and connected, I follow where your body leads. With this gentle facilitation, your body will release areas of restriction in the soft tissue. This includes fascia, the connective tissue in and around muscle, and the dura, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
As connective tissue and membranes release, they soften and become more pliable which allows for more effective functioning of your brain and spinal nerves. When our central nervous system is functioning better, we feel better.
My intention is to support your body-mind-spirit so that you may function at your greatest potential.
